I have tickets for Rage and Tool if the that ever happens. Both shows would have been in the same month!
The Stones in Seattle was my last big show too. I full on had a feeling they'd play Vancouver the next year, because everytime I cave and go to a show in Seattle, the band seems to go to Vancouver the next year. In this case Coronavirus shut down the Vancouver show so I'm really glad I made it to Seattle.
I don't think I saw any Arena/Stadium shows after that. We did go to the Rickshaw in Vancouver to see The Black Halos in February. That venue is a completely dichtomy. The Richshaw is an amazing venue for shows, but it's in the sketchiest part of Vancouver :(
My work calendar just reminded me that I had booked a Vacation day tomorrow to go to Vancouver for RATM. I really hope the postponement is real and the date gets made up. I opted to skip tool when I found out the decent tickets were $250. I'm having a hard time shelling out over $200 to see a band I've seen 4 or 5 times already. Ticket prices are hitting that tipping point where I go to less. Hotel prices too. Such a mission to go to a show from Victoria. If it's a weekend show in the winter, maybe I'll pay more because I don't have to burn Vacation days, and hotels are cheap in the winter. Show in the summer on a weekday for $250.... it burns through a pile of cash and Vacation days.
Maybe some of these rescheduled dates will land on weekends

Tool, February 20 here in Australia. They just snuck it in, another month and they would have cancelled and who knows when they would have found their way back here. Lucky.
Dark Star Orchestra, 2/16/2020, Lake Tahoe, Nevada. Also had tickets for Rage, PJ, Lord Huron, and Jason Isbell for 2020. Really looking forward to 2021!
Adding insult to injury, the RATM tickets for the show that was supposed to be on the 11th were "delivered" to my AXS account

Feb 27th Glorious sons. It was going to be a great year for shows pj, rage, foo fighters, black crowes. Let's hope 2021 we can get things back to somewhat normal.
Got a last minute ticket to Mt Joy and the Lumineers in early March. Had Zac Brown, Pearl Jam x3, Dashboard Confessional, City and Colour, Black Crowes, Faith No More, Foo Fighters, Rage Against the Machine, Better Than Ezra Lined Up.
Going to be REALLY thankful when these refunds come in...

Last show was Ash on Feb 23 this year. Two - three weeks later their tour was cut short. So I consider myself lucky I still got to see a band play this year.
I also saw a guy there with a PJ t-shirt on which I wanted to compliment him on... but I was too shy.

I'll take refunds for everything except pj. Honestly they are the ones who I really hope do not cancel.
The week before I missed out on both Soul Asylum and Drive By Truckers because I was on a pre-planned vacation. Would have seen them both twice probably too.

"Watch out for music. It should come with a health warning. It can be dangerous. It can make you feel so alive, so connected to the people around you, and connected to what you really are inside. And it can make you think that the world should, and could, be a much better place. And just occasionally, it can make you very, very happy." -Peter Gabriel
Dave Chappelle, March 11th Milwaukee. Had to leave our cellphones in the car, Chappelle makes you lock em up. Great set, get back to the car and boom the world had changed. No European travel,no nba and even tom Hanks was sick. Something I'll never forget.

You should NEVER be shy when you see someone with a PJ shirt on! My wife is always embarrassed when I give my shout outs to people I see wearing PJ gear (as well as Steelers gear). But sometimes, you end up striking up a good conversation and get to hear some incredible stories that you would of otherwise never heard about.
Late last year I was at work even down in SoCal with my wife and I noticed a dude wearing a EV shirt. The one of him thats a silhouette with him crouched down on a rock, so I give him a shout out. After chatting for a bit he tells me a story where he was contracted to set up all this A/V equipment for a private event up in local Seattle hotel. He didn't know who it was for but as it turns out the event was a private birthday party for Jill and Eddie was going to play a few songs so to his surprise, Eddie comes walking into the banquet hall to do a quick sound check and proceeds to chat him up asking him if he's the sound guy. He said Eddie was a total class act and they chatted all through his soundcheck. So after the event is over and he's breaking down his equipment, Ed comes over and hands him some signed memorabilia and an envelope that had a $500 tip and personal note thanking him for the help that night!
So don't be shy when you see someone wearing PJ gear, you just never know the story you might hear!
My last show was TOOL at the Moda Center in Portland, OR on March 11th which I believe was the last show they played before everything started shutting down. During the concert we got the notification that the NBA and NHL seasons were being postponed indefinitely and I remember me and my buddies looking at each other like "oh shit, maybe it wasn't a good idea to come tonight". We still ended up having a blast and the show was incredible, but those few weeks immediately after were a little stressful wondering if every sneeze or cough I had was the onset of the coronavirus.
