I couldn't believe it: at the SNL after party, I got a chance to meet and talk to Ed for a solid 10 minutes. It was amazing, and I posted this back on April 17th (see http://forums.pearljam.com/showthread.php?t=180377&page=2):

"I met Ed last night and joked that they should retire Leash. He said "it's a good song though" with a smile. I also told him they should open some shows with Severed Hand. He said that the intro can't be played like it is on the record. I said they should have the intro play on the PA as they walk on stage and then go in the song. He seemed to consider it. Not sure if it's a good idea or not though."

I couldn't FUCKING BELIEVE it when that is excatly how they opened in Hartford (I had also told him I was going to that show). Coincidence or not, it's fucking cool that I talked to him about it and that's the way they did. He seemed to ponder the idea when I told him. It put a big old face on my face at the start of the show, that's for sure.

Great show. The band was playing really tight.

    Tell them you love them. Never let the mundane, the unimportant, or worse, the misunderstood, be the final words of parting.

    Tell them.
