"This One Is For Skates" - Call and Answer - BNL

The final song at the last show (also Steven's last performance with BNL, little did we know at the time) on Ships and Dip V was dedicated to a special, dear fan that many, many of us knew and loved who had passed away the previous December, just a couple months before the cruise. He touched so many lives and so many people loved him... Thank you guys for this dedication. I am grateful to have been able to thank Ed personally but want to put this out there as a public thank you also.

This is so moving--the way Steven keeps looking at Ed :(

@lovebug112484 Being that this was a dedication for a friend and fan who passed away shortly before cruise time makes it very special and then to top it off, it was the final song that the guys performed as a five-piece band. We as fans had not heard the news of Steven leaving the band at this time, but the guys knew it I am sure. Very special moment indeed...

@lovebug112484 Oh and I just heard Steven sing this last Friday night also and I was still so touched by it... remembering this moment always...

Absolutely beautiful. So sorry for the fan.

@nanakruppa Thanks - ironic timing for your posting, he passed away two years ago today, 12/23/08.

@maveness Me too! I'm glad I got to hear him sing this live before I had to leave the concert.

@maveness Wow. Music definitely connects people.
