    Yeah wow just saw it too. Can’t believe someone was able to capture the whole thing (and in such great quality)! I’ll be playing it for Sloane over and over again every night while rocking her to sleep (she’ll probably be sick of it within a week). Here’s the link for those of you interested- https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RHAhDRVwzRc

    I thought the best part was Ed asking “what the fu**” I was doing there (valid point), and mentioning that he knows a divorce attorney if my wife needs one. Fortunately my wife is a good sport and also a PJ fan (though not as crazy as me), so she gets it. And the deal I made with her was if I went to the show, I would stay up with baby Sloane every night for a week (totally worth it). I just showed her the video and she cracked up and went, “Eddie will always be my champion.” Hear, hear! But seriously, that was a very special moment for me, my wife, and little Sloane (although she doesn’t know it yet!), and one that we will certainly cherish forever. Words cannot express how thankful I am to Ed, the band, and the rest of this amazing community for making this special moment happen for me and my family. I can’t thank you guys enough.

    I’ve never made a song request before, but I figured that since my daughter, and future PJ super fan (whether she likes it or not- she has no choice in the matter), Sloane Harper, was born a week and a half ago, now is the time! My wife (also a fan) is an absolute saint and is letting me go to the show despite the fact that we have a 10-day-old at home. The fact that I’m planning on attending a concert with a 10-day-old at home proves beyond any doubt that I’m “out of my mind,” but that’s an issue for another day. I thought long and hard about which PJ song to request, and then realized that the most fitting song was actually not a PJ song at all, but rather a song Ed has covered at some of his past solo shows- forever young. The past two years living during the pandemic have been dark times, filled with death and despair. Many of us have lost friends and loved ones to the pandemic. But the other side of the coin is that at the same time, new life has come into this world each and every day; such is the circle of life. So while it is important for us to honor and remember those who we have lost, we should not forget to celebrate those who have recently entered this world. And we owe it to the next generations to do whatever we can during our own lives to leave this world a better place than we inherited it. To Sloane and all of the other babies born during the pandemic, “May you stay forever young.”

    So happy for you that your Sloane got a dedication!  I was sitting directly behind you.
