    Wishing Jeff and Matt a speedy recovery and am absolutely gutted for those that traveled and have tickets. 
    For those traveling this has to hurt. I feel bad , however I am reluctant to travel for shows now because of this. I am lucky to be right outside Boston so most major shows are coming thru here.

    Being upset and angry is one thing however don’t shit on them because of Covid and whatever you believe ( as our flags sit at half mast following over 1 million deaths in just the US from this awful virus ) this is real and will keep being real for a very long time.

    I’m sure there are some keyboard warriors that were so happy to make comments like “it’s just a cold “ ( it’s not ). Again ok to be upset and angry but not acting like a child or making ignorant statements on Covid.

    ✌️
    I'm right there with you. This thing just won't go away. We have a trip to the Ottawa show planned for September and will probably still go, but I'm not confident the show will happen. These guys are older and their health has to be a constant concern. It would be for me. This absolutely sucks. 
    Honesty thinking of landing in Vegas today and finding this out I think I would honest be in tears. 

    This is the true term of gutted , if it was drivable it would be ok like a huge bummer but ok. Like I would go to NYC , Montreal. Anything flying right now seems like a gamble of either the show gets canceled or flight gets canceled.

    this was such a stressor for my trip to seattle to see Jerry Cantrell May 2. He had to cancel a few shows here and there because of covid; I was lucky Seattle wasn't one of them. I will be VERY reluctant to travel for ANY show now in the age of Covid. It's just too much of a gamble. 

    My wife and I briefly considered the vegas show too, but after we saw the "dynamic" prices, it was an easy no. So sorry to those who had tickets and who were travelling. 
    Dude I am having the worst luck. I wasn’t able to see Jerry either because he cancelled Atlanta. Rough go
    Raleigh in 2016, Jerry in Atlanta and now this? FUUUUUCK. I'm so sorry. 
    Thanks. I have Nashville PJ tickets too, so everyone sell those too if you don’t want my bad luck following you lol

    Total bummer.....my daughter was downtown and went to check out the merch tent at 1:00....said that they were breaking it down before selling anything when I called her to tell her the show had been cancelled...as she was walking away from the obviously disappointed merch staff (who were understandably a bit rude when she asked if anything was going to be sold--she is 17 yo for god's sake) some people in line were asking her what they were doing...she had the unfortunate duty of informing them that the show had been cancelled.  God damn Covid...the gift that keeps on giving...

    I really am sorry for all of you that travelled to see the show here-Now that your night is open, can I recommend Tapa the World, Hook & Ladder, SacYard Community Tap House, Aioli Bodega, and Mikuni (downtown) for places to eat, drink and be merry....There are places on the Sacramento River - Rio City Cafe comes to mind.  Do not go to Joe's Crab Shack...just my personal experience.

    If you are still interested in seeing music a band (person?) called Dorothy is playing at Ace of Spades ($25)

    Drove to Buffalo & flew to Cleveland for Tool a couple months ago… I stressed to no end about it too.

    After seeing all the shows get cancelled, I’m surprised & grateful Tool pulled it off.

    Grateful to have made it to three shows; bummed my plans for Vegas are now out the window. Will probably still make the drive over to Vegas and try to make the best of this mini-vacation.

    Sorry to everyone else who had tickets, especially those whose travel is more complicated than mine (I live 3 hours away). And especially sorry to the guys in the band/crew. I'm sure that it's not fun having your bandmates/brothers go down with the virus despite all of the precautions being taken. It's got to be frustrating as hell for them, and scary if either Jeff or Matt are struggling with symptoms.

    After seeing the passion and energy the band put into the three shows I was able to attend, I'm certain it wasn't easy to make this decision, and I'm sure it's not one they take lightly.

    For those already in Vegas with the unfortunate news of the cancellation, I have two Blue Man Group tickets for tomorrow that I won't be using since I just cancelled my flight.  If anyone wants them for free since I can't get a refund, send me a PM and I'll transfer them to you.

    I’m hearing the news just now, 14 hours before I’m due to head to the airport for my flight to Vegas. Not sure what to do at this point. 72 hours in Vegas would still be nice, but there’s gonna be an awfully big hole right in the middle. 😞

    I was just flying in Friday to Vegas and leaving the next day. No point in going for an overnight trip there unless I was going to the show, I got a hotel refund and a partial refund for the flight.

    Well, Guess this is a different type of vacation now. Find me at the Tropicana pool drinking piña coladas. 

    Hope the band feels better and here’s to Denver in Sept. 

    Welp, if anyone organizes a meet up for everyone in vegas, shoot me a message.

    I wonder if he got it at Oakland.   I got a sore throat last night, had been testing negative every day since I got back. but this morning i tested positive.

    So far I feel it was worth it to see some shows.  I feel bad for the bad.  You could tell at Oakland 2 Eddie was struggling with keeping the whole thing afloat.  I appreciate they kept trying, and I also feel bad for the fans that are travelling or about to travel to the cancelled shows :(
    Went with 2 different people for the 2 shows. Both have COVID. I don’t feel well, but keep testing negative, even pcr today.

    I was able to cancel the hotel in Vegas even though I was past the deadline and the flight money I'll just use another time. It's a bummer and for some of us who travel a lot for shows, there's going to be much more risk than there was in the past that the event may not happen.

    Sucks for those going. On a purely selfish note as someone who is seeing them in Europe - it’s good that Matt and Jeff got it before the European leg.

    Just landed in Vegas and got the news. Heartbroken.  Anyone here already and  want to meet up and drink our disappointment away? I'm at the Linq. This would have been my 14th show.

    The degree to which COVID has changed/decimated the music industry can't be overstated. I do not know how bands will be able to tour extensively/effectively at any point in the next year at least unless they simply disregard testing and only postpone/cancel if someone is symptomatic. Obviously I have no inside information but the guys in this band are in their mid/late '50s, and touring less was probably going to happen anyway, who knows what that will look like in the midst of/the wake of this. I know that in the (relatively) short term, it will change the way fans approach traveling to see shows, which in the case of Pearl Jam specifically could have a pretty significant impact. 

    Feel absolutely terrible for the band, crew, and fans, especially those who traveled. Hopefully in the big picture this is just a little blip but it's difficult, at least for me, not to worry about whether or not there will be many more opportunities to see this band play.

    So are the band members not vaccinated? If not, why not & how is that fair to fans?
    Lol…you seriously think vaccinated people don’t get Covid?

    I think you can, but the chances are slim if your careful. Just asking since both got it.

    “Being careful” has nothing to do with it.  It’s a highly contagious airborne virus.  And I’m sure they’ll both be fine.
    Exactly. Who knows if they even have symptoms.sports teams were losing players because testing positive with no symptoms. Couldn’t play in the game. The more contagious this gets, the better. Virus weakens. Just because it is still called covid, people get nervous.
