**Please play YOU ARE for the lovers in Berlin 2014**

Since we didn't get to hear this gem in Seattle, we might just as well extend the request :)

We are planning on going to the Berlin show in 2014. I will take the chance to combine visiting my homecountry for the first time after (then) 1,5 years, seeing friends and family, and throwing in a PJ show :)

Help us keeping this thread alive by a nice little bump every now and then. Thank you, kind folks :wave:
Here's the original post, still valid. Only the newlyweds afro and kw will be on their honeymoon this time!


I always knew there are people like Cav and me out there. People who have found each other miraculously because of the band. Here on the boards, while touring, by sheer coincidence ... You name it. A little facebook group brought it to my attention that there will be quite a lot of us "PJ couples" at the Seattle show.
GiventoLukinKP and Smanchac will be on their honeymoon (congrats again, guys :wave:), comebackgirl and zoso will be celebrating his 5th year of being in the US, afroannnie and kw18 will be glowing because they will have gotten married on the day of the show, and Cav and I will be there too, not so newlywed anymore, but still on fire :)

We are like every other couple, but we have something special in common, and we all will be there, celebrating the end of a great tour together. A lovefest in Seattle with PJ as the party band :mrgreen:

From what I read and experienced myself, we all have gone to quite a lot to be together with the ones we love. We all had to be brave, and courageous, some of us have been scarred from the past, some have had to change their life radically once they found their partner, moving countries, crossing oceans or states, getting accustomed to new surroundings and culture (and food :fp: :lol: ).
All throughout this time, PJ's music has been a binding element, a comforter, a mood enhancer, providing the soundtrack of our love.

I know that every couple has their own special song. Ours is You Are. I have never heard it live, and I would love for it to be played in BERLIN, dedicated to the people out there who found their special someone because of PJ. For Ashlee and Kyle, for Elana and Tim, for Rochelle and Andrew, for Kelly and Stephen, for Katie and Michael, for Janet and Mike, for Alyse and Tony and everybody else who is in love or about to find love in this very night before or after the show... This is a request thread, but it is also meant to be a thank you to the band :)

What a different life had I not found this love with you ...

Who's with me?

    Lovely post, Leeze!! :mrgreen::mrgreen:
    Pearl Jam has been a part of my life since I first heard Ten, they've been a constant in my life for the past 22 years and it is because of them that I met the man of my dreams... :mrgreen:
    We decided to get married the morning of the Seattle show because we think the band should be part of our special day. During the fall tour we've been carrying this banner from show to show...

    We'll take it to Vancouver with us, and then for the Seattle show we'll have a similar banner (with a large red heart ) but it wil say JUST MARRIED at the top :mrgreen:

    We're so excited that we get to spend our wedding reception with so many wonderful people including all the other PJ couples.

    We would love to hear You Are at the Seattle show.. :mrgreen:
    Show #13 was a lucky one for me....

    I'm going to the gig with my best mate but am happy to "sign" this request! We are both in the process of converting our girlfriends to the ways of Pearl Jam but somehow managed to get a boys weekend away for Seattle.

    Saw them in Belfast a few years ago and Eddie mentioned a couple that had married that day. They had somehow gotten the information through to PJ's management and Ed said that they have brought their wedding guests to the show so that they could say that Pearl Jam played their wedding!
    Enjoy the gig.

    Thanks :thumbup:

    This is exactly what's going to happen in Seattle :D afroannnie and kw18 will get married in the morning on the day of the show and we will all be celebrating their wedding with PJ!

    My hubs and I got married on the day of Eddie's solo show in Memphis. We say Eddie was our wedding band :lol: Cool thing is, we got a kickass poster too to remind us of the occasion...

    How awesome would it be to have a shoutout to love from PJ :)

    Enjoy the gig too!

    This guitar from this song keeps playing over and over again in my head lately....Then I saw this request for Seattle and hells ya I would love to hear it at my second show ever.
    Anything you lose from being honest
    You never really had to begin with.


    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

    It's a great song. When my hubs and I were still dating (mostly on skype, cause I was in Germany and he in the States) we thought about what to engrave in our rings. We had lots of different ideas, but somehow we got stuck on You Are. And this is what it is now. Fits :D


    Thanks for your support! I hope you will have a blast at your second show :wave:

    ALWAYS wanted to hear this song....but since my hubs left me, I've avoided You Are (and Parting Ways) like the plague. So, it would be interesting to see my reaction to "You Are"..."Can't Keep" would be great to hear as well! Anyway, yeah...."You Are" in Seattle!! :D

    I am sorry to hear that :(

    But it is very nice of you to still support this thread. Will you be at the show too? Maybe seeing it live gives the song a new meaning for you ...

    Be well and maybe see you in Seattle :wave:

    C'mon boys, please play some "You Are" in Seattle for all of the love affairs you have started!! We wont let you down!

    All the love in here is making me a little nauseous :wink: just kidding! You are all very sweet and I'm happy for all of you! I love everything about this song so I fully support this request even though I'll be watching the set list thread from afar. I really hope you get it as it would definitely make for a uniquely special night.

    Awwww what an awesome thread Lisa! Yes - thank you to the band! After LA 1 I had a chance to tell Ed about how Tim and I met on this board and that we'll be in Seattle for the 5th anniversary of him moving here from Oz and to thank him for helping to change my life in so many ways :) This music is my therapy and being at the shows makes me feel completely alive and at peace...and it's brought me love. :) Just love it! Today I had a 3 hour panic attack while driving through some scary mountain roads and I got through it by singing "It's OK" in my head. And I may have also imagined Ed standing at the end of the road holding a kitten :oops: :lol: so thank you for helping me survive that, helping me find love and so many good friends and changing my life in so many ways :) Congrats to all of the other Pearl Jam couples! So excited for Ashlee and Kyle and happy we can be there for their reception. Bring on the love fest! :D:mrgreen:

    Although a bit sappy..im diggging your request..If its gonna be Your Are, you need to post your seat number (if not in GA) so Eddie can beam the light off his guitar onto you guys..for those not aware see any "Your Are" from the 03 shows..now that would be sappy and a riot!!! :lol:

    Thanks for the tip! I refrained from checking a lot of the older versions because I want this to be as fresh and clear as morning dew to my ears when I hear it live for the first time :D

    If we don't find any GA (which we would love, cause then we could be with the wedding party and all of our friends and we could all hold up signs with hearts or so :mrgreen: ) we will be behind the stage in the 200s. I don't really think anybody can see us there :lol:

    Keep on bumping for love and have a great day, everybody :wave:

    Ten more days!!!
