I think it is extremely far fetched to believe they would let him do lead vocals.. come on now people.
How would that work? Unless it's a "Matt singing Black Diamond" kind of thing... "wouldn't it be fun if we did ABBA:s SOS and have the new kid sing the parts Pierce Brosnan PERFECTED in the Mama Mia! movie?"0 -

One thing I've never thought necessary was a 5th guy singing backing vocals or a 4th guitar playing power chords. There is already plenty in the mix.

Did he play guitar throughout the set? If he plays the 'third' guitar on some songs allowing Eddie not to play, it could lead to better vocals. Jeff/Stone/Mike can make noise with their mouths that can pass as backing vocals, but Matt is really the only one that is qualified to my ears. On top of that, if he's adding percussion or other sounds/instruments for certain songs to better capture/present the sound the band wants, I'm for it. I guess I don't see a downside as long as it continues to be a support/background role.0

There are bands sometimes that have someone below the stage or somewhere that provides additional music.I miss igotid880

i was 5/6 people off the rail, dead center in front of Ed. very odd people don't think Josh's addition is a good thing. Ed isn't getting any younger, he can play a ton of parts on multiple instruments and he seemed very into it. Mike/Jeff were interacting with him all show. plus, it was only for a portion of the set (mainly the newer stuff). chill outBeacon '08

Most of the people complaining didn't even watch it or did watch and didn't notice until it was reported. And if they didn't notice it means it didn't affect the show in the negativeI miss igotid880

With the exception of the people within the first 150 feet or so of the stage, if Ed hadn’t announced that Josh was helping out, the rest of the audience probably would have had no idea that he was even there. I thought he was a nice addition though and they used him well. The background vocals sounded good and I liked the slightly slowed down tempo of some of the songs (corduroy, present tense, even flow).0

Josh Klinghoffer and Chad Smith are credited on Eddie’s Long Way track. Not sure if that was reported around here or not but if you play the track on Apple Music with the lyrics on you see the song writing credit at the end. For me personally not sure I am a fan of the add and assume it’s just for these festival dates to throw him a bone for missing out on the opener gig in spring 2020.Post edited by CO278952 on4.17.94 Paramount 9.28.96 Randall's Island 8.25.00 Jones Beach 4.28.03 Spectrum 7.5.03 Camden 7.6.03 Camden 07.08.03 MSG 07.09.03 MSG 7.12.03 Hershey 7.14.03 Holmdel 6.12.08 Tampa 10.19.13 Brooklyn 4.11.16 Tampa 5.1.16 MSG 5.2.16 MSG 8.7.16 Fenway 9.2.18 Fenway 9.4.18 Fenway 9.11.22 MSG 9.16.22 Nashville 9.18.23 Austin 9.19.23 Austin 9.3.24 MSG 9.4.24 MSG Fenway 9.15.24 Fenway 9.17.24 Hollywood 4.24.25 Nashville 5.6.25 Nashville 5.8.250

So there's a shortage of everything in this world...but not on guitar players in Pearl Jam. Cool.
