I've never been a make a sign and hold it up at a concert but I think that tomorrow I would LOVE to hear "Light Years" in honor of Terry Fox. Playing a show in Vancouver on Terry Fox day would be a great setting. For the non-Canadians here is a video that will explain why Terry was one of the greatest Canadians/humans ever:

So I may break my own rule and hold up a sign saying "Please play Light Years for Terry Fox". Anyone else at the show would be encouraged to do the same :)

    {if (work != 0) {
    work = work + 1;
    sleep = sleep - work * 10;}
    else if (work >= 0) {
    reality.equals(false);
    work = work +1;
    }system("pause");
    return 0;}

    wow, great idea....Ed is usually on top of significant dates and things like that, you just might get it.

    Can't wait to see what the night has in store for us. I hope its more than one binaural song.

    Thumbs up to this as well. I think this going to be a great show, the energy in 2005 was amazing and thinking we will top it this year. Cannot wait for my flight in a few hours.

    Great idea. Not my favoraite song but I'll sing my lungs out for the sentiment. Actually, I won't sing my lungs out but I'll applaud in reverence :)

    I wish I still lived in Vancouver ... Crappy. Oh well. Light Years would indeed be great.

    Light Years is severely underplayed.

    That is a brilliant idea. Terry was a Canadian hero in the truest sense.

    Ok...so I tried to post this earlier but it didn't look like it worked.

    I am now in Vancouver but I didn't bring anything to make a sign. If anyone is ambitious enough to make one I will happily give them my extra fanclub ticket for the show. Also, I'm bored to tears right now and am sitting in the "Tinseltown" mall just down from GM place....if anyone wants to go for beers I'd love that too :)

    OMG...that was amazing. Not only did Eddie and the boys read my mind (or this post or my facebook status lol) but I also won the ticket lotto and got to see it all from the second row. Such a great night... on of the best Pearl Jam concerts I've seen.
