    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!
    Matt has covid
    I saw someone on social media say Jeff A picked him out of the crowd since he had a shirt with all of the PJ drummers names on it and he could actually play. 
    Eddie asked the audience if anyone knew how to play. He brought up The Who when Keith passed out. Then the cameras pointed to the guy in the crowd
    If you want to see how Josh A ended up playing Y. Ledbetter with the band... here is a video of what happened.

    Awesome thanks. What a moment looks like Mike spotted him

    Yeah I was on Mikes side relatively close to the guy, pretty sure Mike spotted him. What a damn treasure Mike is, always interacting with fans the whole show

    I just watched vid of the closer from Oakland. What a band! Josh Arroyo was a champ and as a longtime single dad raising a 12yr old daughter, it brought a lil tear to my eye when his daughter hugged him after YL ended. That must have been a cool show to be at. 
    This is so awesome!  Very lucky, and amazing moment for him!  What a great band!

    Someone has had to have spoken to this guy after the fact and got the details. I wonder if they asked him what he could play? Gave him a choice? What a memory for that guy. And his daughter!

    Guy did amazing. Even if I was a real good drummer I would probably be puking and peeing my pants at the same time if I got picked

    And while the lights & camera were on the guy, two other people were "miming" in the light , pointing to him, asserting he was capable and could play the drums for Pearl Jam.

    They have to know him, he is a drum tech for Ben Harpers band.
    His eminence has yet to show.

    Wow, early in that video around 1:30 Ed points to someone in the pit and says "really? You up for it? I like this guy, we have a relationship." He recognized me I guess from having been in the same spot in front at both LA shows. Friends were making a fuss yelling that I can drum (I definitely can't). I was waving it off big time, not wanting to make a fool of myself and ruin the show lol

    Weird Al also said today that he has covid. I just saw him live on Saturday. He said he’ll make up the dates ASAP though. 

    I’m surprised they’re cancelling over this. Nothing against you low-end lovers, but I feel like the show could go on without the bassist. It would be somewhat lacking. But I’d rather a show with no bass than no show at all. Tough luck for the band and fans that had tickets.
