    Love reading all the stories, amazing how something that started like small thing in church setting evolved into event like this so fast. Hopefully it will work for those three guys.
    Here is the prayer story, I laughed at how fast the prayer was answered. Warning, it gets loud when Ben is introduced :D

    Awesome experience!!! Great mix of performances from everyone!! Song choices were excellent! Highlights for me were: Johnny joining Eddie on guitar, loved Fistful of Mercy, duets with Natalie and Eddie were perfect....really the whole night was just magical :D The biggest and best surprise of the night for me personally was the duet with Natalie and Eddie, "You can close your eyes". My mom passed away,from cancer, 3 years ago (8/27/07) and this song was played at her service. Her birthday was 8/28...so as you can see very meaningful to me. I honestly couldn't believe it when I heard it....kind of a surreal experience. In fact I was so in shock hearing the song I was only able to record a small portion of it. I really hope someone was able to get a good recording of this. As far as the speakers went, they were short but sweet. I loved Henry Rollins video message and the readings from Damien's journals were very powerful. I am glad Eddie and all the others were able to come together and make this happen. I do hope something good comes from this.

    The WM3 Rally was a really cool experience, definitely not your normal concert. It was just a really unique show and cool line up. I would have loved to have heard Ed sing more but I can't complain. He was still on stage and performed more then any of the other artists. I was one of the lucky ones who stuck around after the show and got to meet Ed, it was an amazing experience to be face to face with him. Here are my photo's from the evening, including meeting with Ed and Natalie: http://picasaweb.google.com/11748693053 ... /WM3Rally#

    If any else who met Ed that after the rally has any photos or videos from meeting him I'd love to see them. I really wanted to get a picture with Ed but since we couldn't I'm hoping one of you captured a photo with me by him. Please send me a PM or post a link to your photo/video. Thanks!

    Yep...

    This fine young man deserves a 2nd chance...

    Echols admitted on cross-examination in the penalty phase of the trial that he had an altercation with his father in which a knife was involved and the police were called; where he admitted that he was hospitalized that same day and that when his father came to the hospital, “I told him I would eat him alive”; where headmitted that he tried “to claw the eyes out” of a student; and where a psychologist who testified for Echols admitted that Echols had “an all-powerful God-like image of himself,” that his parents were concerned with his satanism or devil worship, and that Echols’s medical records included notations of statements by Echols pertaining, among other things, to his rage and the drinking of the blood of others….

    Does that automatically mean he committed the other crimes? You've never been in a fight? You've never said anything that would be embarrassing if the public found out?

    Just curious if you would be defending the guy if Ed didn't like him so much? I have a feeling you wouldn't even know who he is.

    That's cute. Because I post on a board for PJ then I'm a mindless drone. I've been aware of the case since the mid 90's. I am also (for better or worse) graced with a healthy dose of suspicion regarding our legal system and the lynch mob mentality of our fellow citizens.

    We're going to keep this thread for the Fanviews of the show...any discussion of the legal matters can take place in A Moving Train.

    And any criticism of attendees on this thread because of their opinion of the case will be considered trolling. Thanks!

    That's a great idea I'd love a mixed copy rather than an audience copy.

    A fantastic, one of a kind, special event. Great night from start to finish. Started off with an awesome pre-party at Sticky Fingerz that raised some money for the WM3. Ed donated two signed posters just a few minutes before the auction started; very, very cool. Highlights of the show have been covered, and I am still blown away by Society. It is really the only song I wanted to hear before the show. I knew it would be a different type of show so I didn't have any expectations. But to get to hear JD join Ed on guitar playing Society was wicked. He played a great solo and has good rhythym.

    Henry Rollins is always a bad ass. I know he would have loved to have been there in person, but his taped message actually allowed him to use his creative wit as only he can do.

    Natalie Maines has an amazing voice. She seemed a little up tight at first playing stuff she had never done, but Ed as usual has a way of comforting people and she finally seemed to relax.

    Fistful of Mercy is an experience all to itself. Three songs, and you were dying for more. Their album will be unbelievable, and I will definitely go check them out again. Very cool to see their first "payin' gig" as Ed put it.

    And what a treat to see the legend that is Patti Smith. Never thought I would get to see her, and she is amazingly powerful with her presence.

    One of the things that stuck with me the most though, was Ed's reading of Damien's words regarding Time. I won't do them justice, so try and find them for yourself, but essentially says that with all of his solitary time he has figured out that the past is only a memory, the future is a figment of your imagination, and that all we really have is NOW.

    A truely special night. So glad to have been a part of it. And for the record, I have lived in Arkansas my entire life and followed this case since 1993. At the very least, these three men deserve a new trial. Not being political, just stating a fact 8-)

    Thanks to the artists and fans who showed up and made this event so special.

    What an amazing event! I feel so fortunate to have been there and to support the cause.
     
    As soon as Ed took the stage, you knew you were in for something special. His compassion and enthusiasm for this case is so inspiring! So few people today will stand up and raise their voices for injustice. How lucky are we to live in a world with Eddie Vedder and Natalie Maines? Very, very lucky!
     
    This rally was long overdue.
     
    RISE UP! RAISE YOUR VOICE!
     
    I’ll meet you in the streets! :)
