    When I first got the new cd, I let my mom borrow it cause I had the mp3's from the 10club on my phone. Last night at dinner,I asked her "Are you still listening to the new PJ album?" to which she replied "Every day! I have it on repeat and love so many of the songs."

    You should've seen her face...I laughed. It'll be embarrassing if she knows more words than I do at the show. I can't lose my PJ cred to my mom haha.


    hahahaha... Nice!

    Bump...

    Your story just gave me goosebumps...

    I have a similar experience with Just Breathe and The End. (My father in-law died of cancer in 2006. When I hear The End, I hear his perspective, when i listen to Just Breathe, I hear me mother-in-laws perspective - lets "just breathe"...) When you experience these things up close, it changes your life. It's altering. So i am with you, my thoughts are with you and even though I am in cold and rainy Amsterdam, I hope that they will debut the song and sing it... It is a beautiful song that deserves its rightful place on the setlist.

    I posted a link on the Oakland Pre-Party Facebook page not knowing that it was going to show up in all of my friends' news feeds. I found out when I got a text from an old friend who saw the post and wanted to let me know how sweet it was. However, I was in shock because my mom uses facebook as well. I had to immediately go into damage control and delete the post off of that fan page in hopes that my mom wouldn't see it. As far as I know, she didn't. Either way, if by some miracle this actually happens, I want it to be a surprise.

    On a side note, I have developed all of the possible outcomes in my head... because I'm weird like that:

    1. Neither song gets played. Oh well, the concert will still be amazing
    2. Sirens gets played. This will be cool... My mom and I will probably cry
    3. SBM gets played, on it's own. This would be amazing, especially if it debuts in Oakland.
    4. Sirens gets played, then SBM gets played. OMG, did I actually get my request?!? Too cool!!
    [and the ultimate possible outcome]
    5. Eddie Vedder dedicates the next two songs to Ed & Edith, and says something sweet and profound, then proceeds to play Sirens & SBM. --My head might literally explode, and I'll have to quickly explain to my mom that it was for her.. because she might be as clueless as me at times. :lol:

    Looks like SBM got played tonight in San Diego.. I can't wait to see the YouTube videos! Also, light years was played for Ryan! What an amazing band and group of guys we're fortunate enough to experience. I used to wish I was around to see Hendrix at Woodstock. Now I'm glad I've been fortunate enough to spend over half of my life following Pearl Jam. I'm so anxious for the coming shows since I'll be seeing them in Oakland, Portland, Spokane, and Seattle...plus visiting with family all along the way.
