First time poster here, attending both shows in Sydney.  Concerts no. 12 and 13 for me. Two songs requests I haven't heard live, that hold meaning to me and would love to hear -

Release: 
Attending with my almost 5 year old daughter Alina and son Kai on Thursday, they love to belt this one out. I was playing it to them almost every night even before they were born and still waiting to hatch :)

Not for you: 
My non verbal autistic sister Suzanne passed a few years back. She was never able to have a conversation but was great on guitar, and she was obsessed with playing Not For You. (It even got what I think is a world first play in a Church for her tribute :)

Its a long shot but worth a try, absolutely cannot wait. I'll lend some boards in exchange, when in Syd... ;)

(Goldy concert absolutely rocked BTW 10/10 - PJ are like a fine wine getting better with age)

Cheers,
Darren

    In the car on the way to the concert my 4 year old kept asking to play Release.

    I told her I had wrote a letter asking Pearl Jam to play it for her. When Eddie took the stage said "Good evening Sydney, this is a special one" and the opening rif of release started, I couldn't believe it. Whether it was this request or not, my daughter believed so, and it made our night. She screamed out the chorus with the biggest smile on her face.

    I have a lot of Pearl Jam memories, that was truly special. Goosebumps....
