    Just got back from a devils/rangers game.  20% indoor capacity, it s getting better every day!  I see a fall pj tour  on the horizon. 
    Did you have to show vax card?  Distancing?
    No vax card.  Temp check on entry.  Even sections entered an hour before the game, odd sections were a half hour.  You needed to enter the correct gate or you were sent out.  
    Masks on the whole game except to eat and drink.  Seating was like flying first class, there was no one around you.  
    They encouraged people to order food from their seat but it didn’t matter. 
    Even the bathrooms were socially distanced as in every other urinal was blocked off.  
    People were constantly cleaning everywhere.  We left early with two minutes to go in the third but at the conclusion of the game you exited when they called your section.  

    Overall a very very positive experience except for the $14.50 Miller lites!!! Ouch.  (We passed).  No clue what a titos and club would have cost.  Lol

    I went to a Cubs game a couple of weeks ago and the experience was almost identical except you could enter any gate and leave when you want when the game ended.  20% capacity as well.  The mask part was pretty loose as most people in their seats at a sporting event are eating/ drinking a fair amount.  Positive experience, but lacks the energy of a full house obviously.  I wouldn't want to go to a concert with 20% capacity, but the game was overall a good time.

    I have not been following the Europe tour. Are they indoors?
    Yes. All I am saying is if thats what Pearl Jam intended I think they would have switched the shows they actually rescheduled already to floor seating.  Now if the government is making it a stipulation for getting concerts back they only have two options. Wait it out or cancel and sell all the tickets again.

    Was Europe through Ticketmaster? I dont think you will see indoor GA anywhere this year and probably next. Your saying they have booked confirmed shows inside in Europe for 2021?

    That poses challenges.  Usually GA capacity is a bit more than seated capacity, which means they would need to cancel some fans tickets.

    To be honest.   I don't see GA being that much more dangerous than seated.   If the venue is full your walking past all sorts of people to get to your seats, you've got people within 6ft of you in front behind, left, right maybe....

    I personally don't feel you're that much safer in seats than GA.   If no one was vaccinated, I would expect it to rip regardless.

    Yeah me too.  I'm dying for that Baltimore show, in a small arena, after all the stadium shit in 16 and 18.

    Agree fully.  Unless they do limited capacity shows, there is very little difference than being on top of the person next to you in a seat.

    Understandable. But it is possible. They’re outdoors, and that’s one of the biggest factors here. But for that reason, PJ can’t go ahead anytime soon with their indoor shows as they have them planned right now.

    Bartender from The Lillywhite Sessions is the best thing the band has ever recorded.

    Is there a difference between this and what was recorded for busted stuff?


    Yes. All of the the LWS songs that made it to Busted Stuff were re-recorded.
