    This is great. I’m curious how the message gets from here (the forum) to the band.

    No idea but it does 

    I kind of don’t want to know who’s reading threads who has got that kind of pull TBH.

    I’ve seen it a few times. There was also another one recently.  Thread to show

    I also really liked the song Eddie sung with one of the townsend sons on the Friday.
  • CrewCrew Posts: 299
    Please, PLEASE include Eddie's intro / dedication to the track on the bootleg album.

    I'm begging you guys.  <3

    The beautiful words Eddie said before the song would be the ultimate testament to her memory.

    Anybody understand the lyric change for "we were but stones"? Sounded like he was saying something else.
