    I mostly just lurk here, and have been following this thread. I was fighting tears the whole time, and lost a couple times. Amazing.


    Ditto. Tears & goosebumps here too. RIP Sarah.

    I have so much respect for you and what you have been through. I also have so much more respect for this band that they came through in such a time of need. This truly is a family.

    No problem. I was touched by the fact they played it and knew a clip had to be out there somewhere... It's 2013, almost everything is on tape. Just glad i found it for everyone to see.

    Utterly beautiful, moved me to tears. Truly one of the most moving musical experiences I've ever had. Here's to you, Hoosiers and Sarah.

    Wow. So many great moments during this show but this was something else. Hoosiers, you randomly walked past me dyring the show and I recognized you from the video tribute. It was great to run into you after it was played. If you remember, I was sitting right along third base line and stopped you to say hello and ask if you were "Hoosiers". Such an amazing moment when this was dedicated and played for Sarah last night. Much love.

    I admit that after reading this post I was really hoping they would play this song for your wife. When Ed started talking about your story I told my wife about it and she immediately began to tear up. It's the moments like this that make this band so special to me. Again, sorry for your loss but hopefully the boys playing Come Back helped you in some small way.
