    I hope OP had a great time tonight.

    Hearing the song on the way to the show was the universe at work.

    As the lights came up, my wife and I were thinking of your family and especially your son. We were really hoping they'd bring down the house with this one. I'm sure 1000's of people there were thinking the same thing. As you know, Eddie talked about the power of a large group of people focused on the same thing, and I truly have no doubt that Matt was there with you enjoying every note. Much love and support.

    This was sound checked for Ohana last night. This post must have had some influence!

    The first thing I saw when I got up this morning was that EV played this at Ohana! I immediately thought of you and your son. While nothing will ever heal that wound, I hope you can find some solace in the fact that you have shared his memory with so many people all over the world, and that this no doubt influenced EV to play it this past weekend in Matt's honour.

    Thank you for your heart felt post. I know there were many people who were pulling for this to happen.
    I believe Eddie sound checked Forever Young but didn't play it in his set at Ohana.
    I hope, at the least, that this post made someone appreciate their loved ones just a little more.
    Thank everyone again that was bumping this.

    Ski-Bum,
    Thanks for your post and sharing your story.  I can't imagine the pain you feel.  I have one child, a 12 year old daughter.  I seriously don't know what I'd do if anything happened to her.  I sent her off to school today on her bike.  She wants to ride on her own to school each morning now and asked me to stop riding along with her.  I don't trust the world, whatsoever.  
    Anyway, I love the song "Forever Young".  I always have.  I love how Dylan released two versions of it on the same album.  I've seen the Black Crowes perform it before, and it damn near brought me to tears (of happiness). 
    The song has new meaning for me now, after reading your story.  Good luck to you and I'm very sorry for your loss.
