My first thought was it's a perfect fit to begin the encore, but then thought would it be to heavy to continue afterwards?
Then thought, if that's the case, would you end the show with it? If they did that it would just hang there in the atmosphere.
So....I'm on board with first song of encore and the following songs would be a cathartic release and celebration of remembrance of those that have gone on without us and for those of us still here.

I am his sponsor in AA. He later divorces(regret suggesting it) I see him the happiest I have ever seen him. joy to witness. later meets this woman. counter to advice they are joined at the hip immediately, she effectively moves in with him. immediately. year long slow downward spiral. pulls back from aa. suggest he leave her or at least seperate. "but I love her". reaches a head feb 14 2024, he decides to move out.yay!!! 3 days later they talk and are back together and he and I fall out. barely speak for 7 weeks. tried multiple times to meet and hash shit out. he bails twice. week after the second canceled meeting on his part he uses and od's.

We're never right when we second guess... I'm sorry but you did everything you could. And you deep down hopefully know that to be true. Hard... Wonder how the woman who started the downward spiral sleeps....?
Fuck yes. These encores would be far more interesting than what they’ve been doing and still please the casual fans and first timers. Love it. Do this PJ!
It's sad but you don't sound like you should have any regrets mickey. It's a bad world. Love.

I'm struggling to find the right words. I'm sorry for the loss of your friend. I hope you're able to work through those feelings of guilt that you're having.
I'm also heartened by the outpouring of support, kindness, and love on this thread. We need more of that.
I hope the band sees your posts and makes this happen.
All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.
