I am making a special request here for Long Road in Charlotte tomorrow night... The reason for my request is sad but the song has bought our family through so much! Although it will bring tears, they will be sweet tears to eyes that have cried so many tears of sadness... Long story short... We lost my husbands step mom to a "routine procedure" August 22nd. We lost the kids maternal grandmother August 26th. My husbands dad to Alzheimers trauma caused by the passing of his wife September 12th... The words to Long Road were a full page in his funeral bulletin... And we lost my grandfather October 24th... We are not asking for anything but the one song that touches our hearts more than words can say... It would be the most wonderful early Christmas gift as it's gonna be a hard one this year... Play it or not... Thank you Pearl Jam for being amazing and taking this Long Road with us whether you know it or not you brought my husband an I together September 2005 in Edmonton. That show was the start of two people living in different countries finding love and each other... Long Road was the first song he ever sent me and the first Pearl Jam song I ever heard... Pearl Jam bringing us together is a gift I cherish more than you will ever know! Thank you!

Awww....beautiful. The power of this band (and the people who love them and each other) is pretty incredible! Whether or not they play "Long Road" actually is probably less important than why you would ask for it I would think...8/25/92 – Charlotte, NC

Thanks for sharing your story. I definitely would approve of Long Road as well. It was a great opener for the 1998 show in Knoxville. I find myself with age and time finding more and more solid meaning in so many of their songs I missed when I was younger. Even if they don't play it, I hope the whole show is as therapeutic for you as I know it will be for me too. Been a long time coming...Memphis 25 Mar 1994 Fenway 1 05 Aug 2016

Thank you... I know how much this song and this band means to my husband ... He is the music in my heart and I love him more with every breath I take... I would do anything to see that boyish grin on his face... The one he gets at every Pearl Jam show we have ever gone to! I look forward to seeing it tomorrow night
there is magic in music that heals the soul...
