    How about we get a Release chant going about 10-15 minutes before the band takes the stage?

    I know this opened the last show and it’s rare to see the same opener two shows in a row, but there’s no one more deserving than Rich. There are few who have done more for the PJ community than Rich. RELEASE FOR RICH!!!

    If no release, at least give the man a whipping. 
    can you feel this world with your heart and not your brain?

    I was just made aware of this thread, in person, today. Really appreciate all the kind words. 

    I didn’t get Release. I didn’t know it was being requested for me. I DID get to rejoin my friends, on the rail, and let everything go for a few glorious hours… and then got to do that again from lovely stoneside reserved seats, with a dear friend, night two. And I’m gonna rinse repeat my way through Nashville, Raleigh and Pittsburgh. 

    This community is what we make it. And moments like this… feeling embraced so warmly… are truly wonderful. Never could’ve foreseen all this when I was originally exposed to this music through a childhood friend. 

    I’m not on here a lot… but I really appreciate Chrissy making this effort on my behalf. Big hugs to her, Trish, Tom, Vince and anybody else who I know but don’t know their screen names here. 

    And yeah, the guy next to me at Wrigley is named Shane and he’s an actual fucking hero. I’m just some dude who went to as many Pearl Jam shows as i could… 

    Much love, everybody. See ya on the road…

    Rich is one of my nearest and dearest friends who I have met through this band back in 2003.  It is so nice to read all the wonderful things written about him on this thread. I am so fortunate to call him a friend. I was with Rich on the rail 4/29/16. The impact of that moment, Ed’s words before the song, the date, all of it was so profound.  

    This is a wonderful sentiment and idea and I hope it happens for Rich.  Although if you know Rich, you also know that he is not one to make a sign or draw the attention to himself. His 100th show in 2004 was the showbox. Rich made a post it sized sign that simply said “weed for Whipping” He made the sign on the hotel pad while waiting on a GA line. No mention of what number show it was for him, just a tiny request for one of his favorites. Ed did see it and laughed, but we did not get the song! lol. Rich is there to rock out every show like it could be his last. All while looking out for those around him in the pit. He doesn’t need or want the recognition. Just play him the song that has been so critical in helping him get through the great loss of his father and brother. Like Ed said on that fine evening in April.  “

    This song is about losing a Pop. This song is one of those healing songs. It’s not going to lessen the blow of any kind of tragedy. Sometimes it just helps get through, because you can’t get around it, you don’t get over it, you don’t get under it, you got to get through it.”

    If you are reading this RTW, sending you a giant (((((((hug))))))
    Right back atcha, Jersey.
