Twice during the most recent Oslo show. Once for Sad because it was my most sought after song and then again for Garden because of the reasons they played it.
I have several times...but three stand out. Wash - PJ20 night 2 Release - Wrigley The one that still makes me well up, even as I write was one that sort of hit me out of the blue, it was The End - Dallas EV solo. My wife and I went, 11th row center (thanks 10c!) and it was just beautiful. We were on a mini-vacay, just us, no kids. And our almost 10 y.o. nephew had died from cancer several months before the show. The line about getting a 'sickness in my bones', it didn't immediately strike me, but by the end of the song I was thinking about him. And think of him every time I hear that song now.
It's amazing what you hear when you take time to listen.
this.... I am kind of glad I had lawn seats for that night. The energy in the crowd was fucking amazing. You could feel it.. and I wasn't even high. I teared up a little.

I shed a few tears at the recent Leeds gig An absolutely haunting version of Man of the Hour when Ed dedicated it to his Uncle who had recently passed.

Man of the Hour - reminds me of my grandfather who died in 12/28/05 Come Back - My mom died 2/14/06 and first heard this in Boston in May 2006. Think of her everytime I hear it. They do not play it all that often, but I have gotten it 4 times. I am sure The End would do the same thing if I heard it live (she died of cance).

Come Back - My mom died 2/14/06 and first heard this in Boston in May 2006. Think of her everytime I hear it. They do not play it all that often, but I have gotten it 4 times.
I am sure The End would do the same thing if I heard it live (she died of cance).
It was played at a very good friends funeral and every time I hear it I am taken back to that moment...
Come Back is the other; they played it at a show very soon after I lost a friend to cancer and I was completely overcome with emotion.
Amazing how powerful some of these songs are
