You think they can replace Mike or Matt on short notice, huh?
Josh could probably step in for Mike
No, he could not. 100% no.
There is no Pearl Jam without Mike McCready's guitar.
Pretty sure "Earthling" proved this. I love the album, but it's not Pearl Jam.
Pretty sure "Earthling" proved that a concert can be had and played through without Mike McCready. 98% of the crowd wouldn't know the difference when exiting.
If they had to go through with a show.
Matt Camerons drumtech could step in. Like Peter Criss drumtech did for Criss in 97:
The Earthling tour that many of us skipped, that had $25 tickets in Chicago and 100 giveaways in Los Angeles? I don't think Earthling proved what you think it proved.
I am certain it proved exactly what I meant.
What has $25 tickets in Chicago for another band, to do with someone stepping in for a show last minute because a member got sick?
Or maybe I have missed them putting down the price to 25 bucks because the band didn't have guitarists who could make it through a full set.
"Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"
I think the secondary market had seats as low as $25 on show day and people concluded its because its not a PJ show (which is true because a PJ show would likely have heavier demand - but I also think a confluence of factors led to lower demand for the Earthlings tour). But I also think it doesn't go the other way, If a member had to skip a leg for whatever reason, PJ shows will still be well attended.

You said, "Pretty sure "Earthling" proved that a concert can be had and played through without Mike McCready. 98% of the crowd wouldn't know the difference when exiting."
Tickets fell to $25 and were given away for free because there weren't enough people willing to pay to attend Eddie and the Earthlings. Sure, COVID was a factor, too, but far from the only one.

In a tiny venue in one of America's largest cities. And the weather can't be blamed for what happened in LA.
The point is that Ed with his sideband isn't the draw Ed with his main band is. A few shows here and there with a replacement guitarist are fine, but many of us won't be sticking around for a Chinese Democracy era of this band.

Big city may have been a problem.
Same sized venue in Missoula for example sells out in two seconds. Not sure what that says except the major markets are spoiled. Any 2nd tier city would fill those seats and be happy to have the chance to go
Maybe that can’t compete will all the stuff going on in LA so just don’t go there
If Stone fell Ill they could just go through Eddie written songs and have Josh do the second guitar parts.
*****Stone is badass and missing him for a show would be a great loss for the fans**** but….they could pivot to Ed driven songs

Eddie asked the audience if anyone know how to drum. They're testing someone to possibly play in the encore
He's seen a few Foo shows.
More likely in Eddie’s case he is remembering The Who show in the Bay Area in 1973 when Keith Moon passed out on stage and they brought a fan on stage to finish the show.
