Made my way down to the pit  All that’s left is to hear this song.

They closed Pitt N1 with Indifference! Best of the two closers I’ve seen (the other MSG 9.03.24)

Well I don’t know what to say but the 15 year quest for this song is finally over and it couldn’t have had a more perfect ending.  After 5 months of looking for tickets I happened to come across a fan who had 2 GA tickets for tonight that he couldn’t use.  Ended up in a pretty good spot between Mike and Ed.  Got a couple of picks in one of Mikes pick showers.  The set was great, sounded great.  The band was on fire.  Mike was possessed.  I had a sign that I had held up briefly a couple times throughout the night noting the number of shows without hearing Indiff.  It was getting close to 11:00 and they were just starting SOLAT.  I kept thinking there’s not going to be enough time to fit it in.  Fast forward to Baba which was an encouraging sign as it’s often one of the lead ins to Indifference.  Then I saw them bringing the stand up bass back out and then I heard the notes… it was finally happening.  I wasn’t expecting to get emotional but I started to tear up as I sang along through the whole song.  It was a very cathartic experience after 15 years of near misses. 

But that’s not even the best part...  Towards the end of the song Ed came out front towards our side.  I showed my sign one last time with my hand over my heart as a gesture to say thank you.  He noticed and then proceeded to give me his tambourine!  I couldn’t believe it and will be forever grateful for that moment.

My phone battery died, and I had an hour and a half drive back home so I just actually found out that Indifference wasn’t on the original set list and was added in!  I don’t know if these posts made a difference.  I don’t know if the sign made a difference but maybe just maybe….  Thanks to everyone who helped bump and put up with these posts.  I won’t be making any more requests.  I finally caught the whale and it was everything I hoped it could be and more.

First time I had a chance to watch that.  I didn’t realize how close it was to being a signed tambo!  Ed dropped the marker on the toss!  Still can’t believe it all happened.
