    Those saying play without Ed are crazy, you might think that as a hardcore fan wanting a one off show but 90% of people want a normal pearl jam show with the hits, imagine you're a casual fan and you get some weird half ass show and cant even get a refund.  By postponing at least people get a refund if they cant make the new date.
    And we aren’t crazy. We were in the venue when the cancelled. BS. They couldn’t have done this well before that or come out and talked to the fans or put on a “free” show. You can do both. All the equipment was here which now has to come back for the make you show. The band has literally nothing to do right now and could be playing.
    The boring answer here is likely to do with the insurance claim being void if the band plays the show without Eddie. Then there’d be no refunds for ticket holders and even more uproar. 
    Exactly!  
    100% false.

    If his voice isn’t doing well, the smart thing was to cancel and try to salvage the last few shows. If they push it and makes it worse, the rest of the shows are done for sure. It sucks for anyone who was going but they have to look at all scenarios and do what’s best overall

    True, but still, the point is rather the timing at which the (obviously foreseeable) cancellation was communicated to the people.
    And it's not about "the band tried everything until the end". The latter would have been a soundcheck without EV with an "emergency" program. Also only as a rehearsal for the case of the cases. Nothing took place.

    I have to say it. The Gigaton album & tour sure seems cursed. They should have just scraped it from the get-go, recorded a new album and toured that in 2022. Sorry for all the fans that were supposed to go to the show tonight.

    As someone posted earlier Ed's voice is probably shot hence the shorter sets this tour. If that is indeed true how stupid is it that they added that Bourbon and beyond festival date that has them play 3 shows in a row. Dumb Dumb Dumb. Id be worried if I was St. Louis.

    The only positive today was that I could trade a Krakow poster for Budapest.

    good lord, people. For supposedly being “fans”, you people are awfully harsh. This band can’t do anything right as far as you guys are concerned. Guess they should consult the forum for all major decisions.

    They are not gonna play in front of 15.000 people who's there to see Eddie Vedder sing Alive and Evenflow without Eddie Vedder.

    Hope he gets well soon!

    This is a great disappointment. I'm heartbroken, all the more so because there seems to have been no effort at all to find an alternate date. 
    According to local media, Eddie was still waving from the hotel at six, so it must have been clear by then that there was no show today. It's nice that people still had to wait and shop for hours in the sweltering heat at the merch for a show that they had probably long since guessed would probably not be able to take place. 
    Probably my disappointment and sadness comes out here more than anything else, but at that second I'm really a little irritated at the timing of the communication as well. 
    Anyway, all the best Eddie.
    Probably Prague will burst as well.
    I guess they were still hoping to play at 6. No way they let people queue in the unknown for an hour. He probably had a last check up from doctors who pulled the plug.
    Probably, but in my disappointment say, cynically you could say, the cancellation came when the Outside Merch was sold out.
    They moved the inside merch to the outside booth after cancelling. To sell it.
    wait...this is true?!

    Give me a break! Relax! My comment was meant as a joke. The St. Louis part of my comment was serious. 3 shows in a row is dicey any way you look it.

    Of course, that's clear, although personally that would have been a comfort to me.
    But I'll stick with it: The cancellation came very (too) late. And I also find the prompt cancellation a pity instead of at least sounding out an alternative date (despite the logistics). This was obviously not even considered.

    In your opinion, when would have been an acceptable time to cancel?  Sounds like it was a game time decision.  
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......
