Here is the video of Eddie's speech and Given To Fly, this video is dedicated to Jan, Valerie and also Gabriele who lost her beloved Gordon (who passed away recently as well) and was at the concert with her 16 year old daughter who was at her first show, who started listening to Pearl Jam once her father passed away, and Gordon's only request was that Given To Fly was played at his funeral. This gets even crazier, they live right nearby each other and I have been able to get them in contact with each other, thank you Eddie so much for doing this, it has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life, just being able to help these two families out, and you made that possible, the power of music is amazing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDg0YkV_cuY&feature=youtu.be

I am so glad I was there to witness it all. What a special band to take the time to dedicate this song to those who are hurting. Please accept my condolences, and so glad the music is helping in the healing.
