    It's been said before but it can't be said enough, the Pearl Jam Family is amazing and such a force for good in this world! I hope this fulfilled request lifted a little of the sadness out of your heart. So glad they played it for you!

  • spragg, I know this didn't make everything better, but I hope it helps you heal.

    Zandy was there with you. You fulfilled that promise.

    I know how much that meant to you, because I've been through something similar.

    It's crazy what kind of memories music can conjure up.

  • Spragg, I just read your story and was reduced to tears, and it makes me want to meet you. I was also at that gig in Christchurch on November 29, 2009 and it was amazing, in fact the best show of the tour I thought. For the band to fulfil your request this time around just goes to show why they are the greatest band to walk this earth. I reckon Zandy would've been smiling up in his tree last night. Well done mate!!! Keep on Rockin :)

    Spragg,
    I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. I am also so pleased for you that you were able to experience Black in Auckland. I was moved to tears whilst watching the video that was posted. It was truly compassionate and thoughtful of the band, especially Eddie, to perform it the way they did.

    Spragg, this is my first visit into this thread...I searched it out after reading about the dedication in the set list thread. First off, my sincerest condolences to you and friends and family of Zandy. I'm just so pleased that your message made it's way to the band and that they were humbled enough to offer this great dedication. I'm sure that wherever he is, Zandy was overjoyed as you must have been too. Cheers to you both!

    Sorry to hear of your loss bro. It is never easy when we lose someone we love, especially the letting go. Really glad that you got your wish man. And although you couldn,t see him I have a feeling Zandy was right there with you last night. Enjoying his and your favourite song rocking on with his bestie.. Peace and Love Bro. And I couldn,t agree more with you and Zandy That indeed BLACK is the greatest Rock song ever written. =D> :)>-

  • I'm so sorry to hear of your loss, Spragg. I was at both of those shows too, both were amazing. I wondered what Eddie was referring to during Black. He sung it so heartfelt I couldn't help but cry. I'm glad to hear it was fulfilling your request, it was an incredibly moving moment and I'm sure Zandy would have felt it wherever he is. Peace and love!
