Re: Song of the Moment: Given to Fly
This came on the Sirius XM station in the car (we have a free trial) and it weirded my wife out that I could date it to '98 solely by the way Ed sang "he just gives it away." She had that vaguely concerned "how many hours of your life have you wasted listening to this band?" tone in her voice.

I got that same look the other day when Crazy Mary came and after the first few lines I said "oh this is from the Atlanta show I was at".Kevin Davis wrote:This came on the Sirius XM station in the car (we have a free trial) and it weirded my wife out that I could date it to '98 solely by the way Ed sang "he just gives it away."

That lady Kimberly who signed given to fly the one on the tb2000 dvd, has passed away.
Just thought we could remember her. That was a beautiful moment and she made it.
RIP

Re: Song of the Moment: Given to Fly
touring band 2000 might be the best live Given to Fly b/c of that lady. RIP. i've seen tb2000 probably close to a thousand times, i actually think about this lady whenever i see people signing at concerts b/c this is the first time i ever saw it.
as far as the song, this is as good as pearl jam gets. its better live b/c its played faster.

You're right, if you follow the Reddit link it dates her passing to 2015 -- yesterday was the anniversary.emanon wrote:I could've sworn she died like 10 years ago. Weird...
