Will shows still go on if a band member has Covid? Obviously if it is Eddie they can’t but what about someone like Matt or mike, etc?

    You think they can replace Mike or Matt on short notice, huh?

    Power trio. Mike, Jeff and Matt. I would actually love to hear that.

    To be brief…no. 
    I died. I died and you just stood there. I died and you watched. I died and you walked by and said no. I'm dead.

    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.

    Dave, don’t get all scientific with natural immunity talk… he might need like a booster shot before each show??? 🤪

    Josh 
    If its a last minute thing, this is exactly whats gonna happen. We know Josh is a multi instrumentalist, he can hold it down for a show or 2. Ed is the only one he wouldn't step in for, but we know Ed had it before the Earthlings tour.

    I know everyone has a set idea of what PJ is, but thats more a you issue than anything. PJ would go on without Matt, Jeff, Mike or Stone when you have Josh in your pocket, if its a day of thing.

    I know Josh plays some Gigaton parts, but maybe there’s another reason he’s touring/playing with them…..

    Big money for a cancelled show.

    Is it better to have your show postponed or have your show played without the full band? Tough call. I might answer one way for a local show and another way for a show I traveled to. 

    One thing though...it is not Eddie and the Pearl Jams. The guys with him on stage are not interchangeable.

    Dave Matthews last year played without his band for a few shows at Red Rocks. Did solo acoustic stuff. Had some other friends step in. I can see PJ pulling it off.

    I know you feel that way, but a time may come where that could very well be the case. Best to not hold onto that so tight.

    If someone in the band tests positive, shows over. Even if there’s positives in the crew it probably won’t happen.

    It was the gorge. A bit different as you already had people camping for 3 days. They really didn’t have a choice.

    that said the shows were pretty cool and unique after losing their rhythm section
