            I also teared up at that video. Does anyone have the story on who Josh A is and how this happened? What an amazing experience!PORTLAND - 18 JUL 98 // TAMPA - 12 AUG 00 // PORTLAND - 02 NOV 00 // SEATTLE - 05 NOV 00 // SEATTLE - 09 DEC 02

            That YL video was amazing. Loved the hug at the end! Inspiring.
 I've been debating skipping this tour since I was not on top of the ticket process and I got COVID back at Sea.Hear.Now, so a little bit of PTSD about crowded events (and my wife is immune compromised and my Dad has cancer). But after seeing that, I think I need to get in on an East Coast date or two, even if that means paying an exorbitant ticket price.
 Plus, I'm currently experiencing Round 2 of COVID and it's super-minor thus far (knock on wood). Nothing like what I experienced back in Sept / early Oct last year when I was really laid-up for 8 days and had 21 total days of symptoms.
 Three shots, two bouts of COVID, what else can I do? If I'm not protected by now, I guess I never will be!"Darkness comes in waves, tell me, why invite it to stay?"0

 I did two high-risk things in 2+ years: Sea.Hear.Now. and Las Vegas trip two weeks ago (for work conference). Got COVID both times!
 If I get it a third time and it's like this, I won't care."Darkness comes in waves, tell me, why invite it to stay?"0

 This is the only way out, mass exposure to all humans multiple times. I’m dealing with my 1st bout right now, couple of rough days but I’m feeling good today, hoping to test negative by Monday so I can still hit Sacramento after missing the Oakland shows. Omicron a lot less severe than Delta so I’m glad I made it this far. Being vaccinated and infected is the most robust protection. Hopefully in a few years Covid is just another common cold.T-Bone 82 said:

 Does anyone know where the play the hits guy has been the last few days? Not one to start rumors or conspiracy theories but too much of a coincidence to post that thread and then circumstances dictate the band having to play the hits.Poncier said:

 Wow. Chills and tears. What an incredible moment. If Josh A is on this board, would love to get a recap!elwayvedder said: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=px1JbfCvffE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=px1JbfCvffE
 Josh A nailed it but better than that was him and his daughter hugging at the end.
 Just as good; Josh's decision making in what shirt to wear LOL0
