Dave Krusen update in Post 19 ….
UPDATE: According to Ultimate Classic Rock, for the night's final song, fan Josh Arroyo was brought onstage to perform "Yellow Ledbetter." Pearl Jam had earlier asked fans to submit videos via their Ten Club for a chance to play with the band.
You can watch fan-filmed footage of Arroyo's performance below.

This is why I always have drum sticks in my car ... in case the headlining band suddenly needs a drummer.
P.S.: They're scheduled to play again on this Friday the 13th. Tickets start at $103.
From Riff Magazine:
OAKLAND — Pearl Jam finally made its way to Oakland on Thursday night, but it wasn’t exactly the show that most fans had been waiting patiently for—once again due to COVID-19.
As the show kicked off with a rollicking cover of Neil Young’s “Rockin’ In The Free World,” it was quickly apparent that drummer Matt Cameron was absent, and Eddie Vedder soon confirmed that the longtime member had fallen ill with COVID-19.
It was the first Pearl Jam show that Cameron had missed in more than two decades.
In his place, drumming duties were ably split by former Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist and opening act Josh Klinghoffer (whom Vedder dubbed the “Shohei Otanhi of rock and roll” for his ability to handle multiple instruments) and longtime Jeff Ament collaborator (and Oakland resident) Richard Stuverud. The two traded turns at the drum kit throughout the night and seemed comfortable filling in on short notice.
This was a show more than two years in the making. Pearl Jam just started what was going to be a big year for them in 2020, releasing their latest record – and the first in seven (now nine) years – Gigaton, in March 2020.
Of course, that’s also the month the pandemic shutdowns started, halting PJ’s massive tour in support of what was their best album in more than a decade. The wave sputtered before they could build up any speed, although singer Eddie Vedder released a great solo record in February of this year, Earthling.
Now they’re back, fired up and making up for lost time. But frustratingly, the pandemic wasn’t finished messing with the band’s plans.
The band wasted no time revisiting its heyday with three songs off their first three albums (“Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town” from Vs., “Why Go” from Ten and “Corduroy” from Vitalogy) before introducing new material from Gigaton: the grinding “Quick Escape” and bouncy “Superblood Wolfmoon.”
Both of the new tracks fit well within the set and reinforced the contention that Pearl Jam’s latest effort might be its best in many years. Overall, Pearl Jam would only play one more new track, the mid-tempo “Seven O’Clock,” later in the set.
At one point, as Vedder waxed nostalgic about the now-defunct Bridge School Benefit concerts once hosted by Neil Young and the late Pegi Young, he may have let slip news of a revival.
“I hope to see you again the next time we’re getting to play The Bridge School,” he said to a confused reaction from the audience. “I hear rumors, good ones,” he mysteriously continued.
