Does the band actually see song requests on this forum?

It's hard to imagine they do much of anything between shows besides R&R.

    They are probably told the ones that really take off. Like the ones with hundreds to thousands of responses and that are meaningful.

    I hope they do :shifty:

    Please give our thread for the lovers a little bump while we're on our way to Seattle :wave: It doesn't have tons of responses, but it's meaningful nevertheless :D

    I want to say yes. I had been to 25 shows at tbe time and had never hear Smile. I started a post that I wanted to hear Smile for my fiance (now my wife) in Vancouver in 2011. The post took off. Low and behold they played Smile. I also have not heard it live since.

    They are at least kept informed. Case in point, the request for Come Back at Wrigley
    When the stars exploded billions of years ago, they formed everything that is this world. Everything we know is stardust...

  • Yes...I put a request for wishlist in a thread & got it in Baltimore, my 1st show of the tour..my husband & I could swear he said my name faintly before it played but have to wait for the bootleg to confirm...either way it was great to hear it.
    I wish I was an alien at home behind the sun.....
    I wanna race..with the sundown..I want a last breath..I don't let out...
  • In 2006 at a charity event before the show in Portland I handed Mike paper with 3 songs on it. The next show (Gorge night 1) they opened with a song on that list (Wash).

    Mike, if you are reading this one of the other songs was TREMOR CHRIST. Please and thank you :mrgreen:

  • Yes. Posted a request to play Untitled on 11/26 in Oakland. Even though I wouldn't be there, In honor of my 10th anniversary, since our first dance was the untitled from Oklahoma City 2003. Also posted a link to my Facebook page with video of said first dance and another video of the highlights set to Smile. Not only did they play untitled, but Ed says during the intro "there's someone out there that this is very important to". Then he changes up the lyrics a bit. Instead of "I don't blame them from my room" it's "we got out of our rooms, 10 years ago..." And "I can be there in, yeah say it, 10 minutes or so..." Then later in the show they played smile and while saying it was a request from a guy up front, he says "we've gotten a lot of good requests lately"

    ^ what he said

    It was awesome when they opened with that song. The friends I went with and I were talking about that just before the show.
