***PJ PLEASE PLAY FREEBIRD FOR DIMITRIS OFFICIAL REQUEST***

This really had to be done and what better time than my 500th post. There are a handful of members on this board who are always near the front of the queue when it comes to charity donations, helping members with queries about travel, tickets, merchandise and anything people are struggling with. In Europe Dimitris is the man at the front of it. I should point out that many of those attending certain Euro shows this year are only doing so because D has found tickets for them and only he knows the number but I know it's not small and he's still looking. He lives on this board for more hours a day than I do which is a lot. PM's are answered within the hour and he is the most helplful and generous guy on the forums bar none! Please bump this for the big Greek freak and help him achieve his dream of seeing Pearl Jam play Freebird (this has been mentioned by him on the boards for over two years) on the Euro tour which incidentally he would prefer in **Berlin **(I'd prefer Dublin, London or Belfast so I could see his face afterwards.) Please help our friend, and I'll update this with the names of those kind enough to participate. I mean who doesn't want to hear the boot? Thanks for reading. Peace to you all :D

**Edit: I'd love it to be in Berlin now since I've decided to go too and only because the man in question won't shut up about how amazing it was last year!** :mrgreen: On a serious note I'm looking forward to spending the time there with him and all the other fantastic 10c members who will do their best to honour the lost souls from 10 years ago before, during and after the show and I know he often has them in his thoughts.

Thanks to all these beautiful people for their support so far: And double thanks to all the negative souls who choose to disagree with the song choice but just can't help bumping the thread!! :lol:

    If that's the case, I believe he has been to under 10 shows and I have seen numerous posts from him referring to songs that he has never seen live and would love to (for some reason Hold On sticks out). So why on earth would his ONE SONG to hear above all others be a cover song :?:

    I don't want to be a Debbie Downer, but just a word of warning. At Ed's solo show in Nashville at the Ryman last summer someone yelled out "play freebird" and Ed got mad. He made some not so nice comments to the guy.

    Not the same person I can assure you. I wont forget traveling to Philly last year @ the preparties many I didn't know would come up & ask me that I was their friend on Myspace Page & how I made this long journey from Greece. For the millionth time, i'm demetrios, the Greek Canadian guy from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Master of the fine arts of b+p'ing, trading, torrenting & freebing live Pearl Jam goodness.

    Though yes, I support this cause. Play Free Bird for dimitrispearljam! Not sure why he would constantly request Pearl Jam to cover a Lynyrd Skynyrd song @ a Pearl Jam show. Eh, bien.

    I'm not sure, really. I can't remember exactly what was said, but Ed said something like that was an old joke and it wasn't funny then, and some other stuff. There was a thread on here about it. I think the sister of the guy that yelled it got on here and said something about it. You might find it in one of the Ryman threads from last year. Also, keep in mind that there was always tension at his shows due to people yelling and screaming. Ed (and lots of other too, me included) thought listeners should sit back and enjoy the show - it wasn't a rock concert. So Ed was always trying to get people to be quiet and listen, so this guy's yelling probably got on his nerves - not just because he yelled Freebird.

    so Ed was pissed for the guys shouting and not for Free Bird..... :D nice
