    Thank you so much for this! If there never is a full download of this show, this will suffice forever. I can now show friends/family the dedication and song.

    Thanks again.

    Hoosiers -- First, very sorry for your loss. Second, I'm glad they played this for you, I was waiting for it after spotting your message a few days prior to the show. It is awesome that the band pays attention to their fans and can do special things like this for them. God Bless!

    ...Pearl Jam, a group filled with pride, passion, and intricate musicianship. Their music is full of subtle textures, rich color, soul-searching power, imagery, and eerie dissonance.

    Hoosiers,
    I am so glad I was a part of this special moment at a very special show. People around me who didn't know about your request were so touched when I told them about it. I'd hoped all along they'd play it for you!! So glad they did!!

    I'm another who, despite having not posted in it, has followed this thread - one which is both heartbreaking and heartlifting at the same time. I'd say the fans here are no more, or just AS, amazing than the band we love.

    From someone whose life was beautifully and forever changed by this...music...by the people who create(d) it...by the people who live and love it...I wish you well, Hoosiers.

    So very well.

    No problem. Quick story, I had low battery power on my iphone, so I got Release the opener and I was like well I have enough battery for one more song. I randomly picked this song and EV started the dedication...I remembered that I had read about this on the forum. Anyway, glad you have some footage of it.

    Hoosiers, so sorry for your loss. So happy that they played the song for you & Sarah.

    Wasn't there, but just watched on youtube. Goosebumps.

    (PS Come Back and Light Years and Release are my songs for my dear dad ... always bring a little tear to my eye)

    The machine that helps run this band doesn't always please everyone here, but sometimes they nail it.

    I have many friends in the music business. Most people don't realize all the people behind the scenes that help things like this happen. Unless the band reads the forum, someone had the bring this to the band's attention. Kudos to who did that. I hope some healing came from this.

    Love this band.

    Wow man, I just watched your Youtube tribute again, and the tears flowed - what a beautiful tribute.

    2 PERFECT Songs. Like a lot of people here, I am a PJ fan with BRUCE a close second. I absolutely love this song and have done since I first heard it on The Rising.

    So happy you got the song at Wrigley!!!!

    Was at the show in Field Q R17. When they played Come Back, a few other 10c fans told me about why it was added to the set list and I learned about your story. I started crying during the song. I'm sorry for your loss and I hope somewhere out there she was watching over you while PJ played for the two of you at Wrigley. Come Back is now one of my favorite songs.

    Such a cool story buddy - congrats!

    I turned to my buddy who went to the concert with me and told him that story as I read it on the message board.
    or you can come to terms and realize
    you're the only one who can forgive yourself oh yeah...
    makes much more sense to live in the present tense...

    Brought tears to my eyes. I filled in the people around me on the story. very emotional show for me before the rain delay.

    it never really recovered for me in the same way after that but it was still great.
