MSG for our anniversary!

So my wife and I got married on May 20, 2007 - and we're going to celebrate our 3rd anniversary by traveling from L.A. to NY for Pearl Jam at MSG...
The band has always been a big part of our lives - I've been a diehard fan since highschool in the early 90's, we had one of our best dates ever seeing PJ at the Forum - and on our wedding day, she even walked down the aisle to PJ's version of "Love Reign O'er Me." (I highly recommend that, by the way - goosebumps)
And I know this is totally ridiculous, but I'm just going to live the idealistic dream for a moment, and pretend that there's actually a chance that some kind of messages from this forum could actually reach the band. Hey, I can dream, right? And with that said, I'm just hoping they'll play LROM. That's all. We keep the Who Rock Honors show on our Tivo, and watch that show's version of LROM over and over, reliving that amazing moment from our wedding - I know it would make my wife's YEAR to hear that song live.
So to all you angels, or ghosts, or spirits or whatever, who might be reading this, if you wouldn't mind leaning down and whispering a little word of inspiration to the boys... tell 'em to play that one... and we'll never ask for anything again. Promise.
(hope to see/meet some of y'all at the show!)

I may end up in a debtor's prison after all is said and done for the whole trip, but sometimes you just gotta say the hell with it, you know?

Oh, and since I'm dreaming - Ed, Mike, Stone, Jeff, Matt, whenever you guys read this post... and I know you WILL read this post because of course there's nothing else you guys would rather do than be on the message board...
Whenever you play LROM, it would be nice if you'd dedicate it to Paul and Jeami (pronounced "Jamie.")
And I'd also like a pony.

When my husband leaves in the morning he says "miss you already" and my reply as you can guess "miss you always". "Smile" so much easier to smile with love in your life.
Good luck to you and congrats on 3 years its a wonderful journey life is while holding hands with another.
It's amazing how the music can connect with the important things in your life - love, family, etc.
we're walking together "Bandaged hand in hand." And sometimes I think of our relationship when I hear "I am lost, I'm no guide, but I'm by your side."
On another note, I may start another thread about this... but my dad has Alzheimer's, and the song "Off He Goes" reminds me of him so much whenever I hear it...
This band's music has always been right in the center of the deepest parts of my life... crazy...

since we're leaving for the airport soon, and I don't think I'll be taking my laptop, this may be my LAST chance to appeal to the rock and roll dieties...
PLEASE - whatever I need to do, I will burn a stack of unblemished vinyl as an offering (except for my Ten reissue)... please blow your winds of wisdom into the ears of the band, so that they'll play "Love Reign O'er Me" at MSG for my beautiful wife, who walked down the aisle to PJ's version of that very song.
If you answer this prayer, I will promise to be a better rock fan. I will find a new blacklight to properly illuminate my AC/DC poster. I will stop saying sometimes that I think maybe I'm "bored with Hendrix." And I will give the Doors another try. I promise now to never let my future children listen to Justin Beiber. I will teach them in the ways of the Beatles, Stones, Zeppelin, the Who, Seger, Elton, Billy, Stevie, 38 Special, Skynyrd, Bad Co, PJ, Nirvana, etc. I will rush faster to turn off the radio whenever I hear Rob Thomas or Maroon 5. I will celebrate the birthday of Elvis and remember John Entwistle on the anniversary of his passing. I will encourage healthy debate on the topic of Lennon vs. McCartney, while never diminishing the contributions of George and Ringo. I will smile when beer is spilled on me in the Forum by the overzealous fan dancing inappropriately to Evenflow. I will stand firm, even when assaulted by the Creeds and NIckelbacks of the world, to my convictions and my beliefs.
All I ask is this. As my wife and I (who will travel across the country to celebrate our 3rd anniversary at this show) drink in the hazy light and weed-soaked air in the hallowed halls of Madison Square Garden, would you please bring to our ears the melodious opening piano strains... followed by that oh-so-familiar voice singing...
"Only love..."
