Please play Hard To Imagine in Zagreb

vedderman · September 2006

Well, i don't know if Pearl Jam members ever read this forum but but i am asking the guys to hear my wish and let's hope it's going to happen.

Dear Pearl Jam, i've been a fan since '95. In the primary school we got a young lady teacher, which i fell in love to. So i started to borrow her my PJ cds and stuff, but after listening to "Ten" she asked: "Hmm, i don't know... what does PJ have to say anyway?" I said it's all about the music, it's the love for beautiful melodies. Then later in my high school i sent her cds every year when PJ released something. So in 2000 i met her again at the concert in Ljubljana and she was totally freaked out, she was so happy for PJ!! I thought and said to myself: "well, i finished my task, well done buddy" haha. Today, six years later i am typing this request at her desk in her living room because we live together and we love each other. Actualy we are together beacuse of my loving band Pearl Jam. Isn't this great?

Ok, i will not be long, this is my request for you to play Hard To Imagine in Zagreb, it's her all time favourite song and i would be a great surprise for her and everybody else who will attend the show. Please Eddie, make the setlist right, you have a lot of free space here, i know you'll play an extended show here (no opening act). We'll see what happens.

Thanks and see you all in Vienna and in Zagreb!

A fan from Slovenia:)

Good luck with that, it'll be great! Nice story I'll cross my fingers for you i'm from SLOVENIA too!!!

Can't imagine anything better then getting your requests fullfilled.

But I'm so messed up, I cannot not decide for ONE I would like to hear...It's best to hear a song that means something personal to you...but I have more than one..well...I'll surely jump from excitement on each and every song..(it will be my first show!(And i'm fan since I was little...really just a pre-teen girl)..yeah I'm young:)
One of these would be a blast>(but then again anything is great, their not a f****** supermarket..)> Army Reserve, Black, Lukin, Do The Evolution, Mankind, I Am Mine, Light Years, I Got Shit, Smile, State Of Love and Trust, Leash, Who You Are, Animal (first song I choose to learn on drums hehe)...
I wish I was a setlist paper and Pearl Jam played of me...
I wish I could return what they'd given (me) unknowingly..
Hih.

Hey hey, Vedderman, or Matej...hehe my friend..i know this guy, we met through the internet, because of Pearl Jam..i mean, i had this nickname on IRC - DRTYFRANK..and so one day (5 years back), he contacted me, if this means Drty Frank as Pearl jam..I said yeas...and it was all that mattered...We became friends since then, although we don't see much (practicaly once a year, hehe)...Well, we were desperatly seeking this video of Ljubljana 2000 show on video for about 3 years, and then some lady from US said she had it...unfuc****belivable..she sent us the tape(bad quality, but it was Ljubljana-the only PJ show i have seen)..Well, then the waiting for the new Euro tour...6 years, and then finally came the dates....I bought 10C tics for Vienna and Zagreb show....just couldn't wait from the excitement to see my f****** greates band...I was supposed to go with my brother, who got into PJ few years ago (I like to think because of me, hehe), and Vedderman-Matej....well, they are just waiting in Stadthalle-front row....and i am f****** taping here , pulling my hair out for not going...It hit me, not in the last 3 years, but now!!!! I got a bad fever, couldn't even walk, lost 5 kilos in a week...got antibiotics..went better and got worse again...so i said f***, I am gonna miss Vienna, but I am not gonna miss Zagreb....so now, as I am typing this, I am still not sure, i went to the doctors today and she said to me: Stay at home, you will get another chance!!!hahaha, don't know what to do...I guess i will be coming anyway, what tha f***!!!! But in any case, if the band is playing some requests, i would like to ask them to do IMMORTALITY--for me and for bunch of people that find this song amazing. Well, i amust say, not because i want to bragg, but I am suppose to graduate college this friday, and if everything goes well, i must say that PEARL JAM (or Eddie Vedder) has helped me a lot achieving that..back in 2000, Ljubljana show....i was 22 years and didn't quite know what to do with my life...couldn't study, couldn't work....and then Eddie came on stage, saying to us YOU CAN'T GIVE UP, NEVER GIVE UP - i will remember these words forever....i went back to school(college), and I am about to finish on friday, and all in all, i got my first job, which i start on monday....I just need this cherry on top---to see the boys in Zagreb tomorrow...but if not...i will be there in my heart....

Can't belive i wrote this much, but it felt ok...hehe, i think no one is even gonna read this, but it's ok, its gonna be my diary;)

P.S. Enjoy all of you at the concert, especially Matej and my brother

Peace and love,

Damir

Off topic...Hej Damir, is it possible that I can get that tape from Ljubljana? I wasn't there (too young etc) but I would really love to have the only show that was played in my country...
Good choice Immortality it has an extra meaning since you're so sick, hehe..
