I'm guessing, though, that The Kennedy Center owns rights to the entire show, right? But maybe 10c could work something out. Or maybe he could just re-record it with Bruce's permission?

thanks michelle822!
that's what i meant/wrote. like a completely new studio take on the song. he actually skips an entire verse and chorus on the Kennedy Center Honors show. not sure why, maybe they had to shorten it for tv purposes. even if they release it ala 'speed of sound' free demo or 'man of the hour' (demo version on single) style...

And if the band wanted to play an acoustic fundraiser show at the Showbox with AIC, FTM, and a special appearance from Bruce that would work too. I'm just sayin'...

STONEd and dAMENT-ED, you have come up with a great plan.
Bruce did play this song for the 9/11 tribute though. Would it be a good idea to use the song again? i don't know
“I know this song so well, I can smoke a cigarette, have a drink, brush my teeth, take a shit, and mow the lawn while singing it. But I'll only be doing a couple of those things during this version.”

STONEd and dAMENT-ED, you have come up with a great plan.
Why a small venue like Showbox? Is that because you wanna take advantage of someone else's disaster by seeing your favorite band at an intimate venue? Why not play a proper concert venue? Wouldn't the main purpose of doing something like this be making the most amount of money for Haiti? I mean even if you think that deep inside, just try to hide it a little better. I know I sound harsh (maybe because I'm having a shitty day at work) but come on!
Still think the single with that song is a great idea.
I have no patience for bad music and stupid people...

you raise a good point here Solat319, may i offer a compromise? haha
it may be hard to acquire a large venue at short notice, let alone sell it out (i know, pearl jam definitely could), but having it at the Showbox could be a great idea. it's small, intimate and close to home and we all know the boys are good friends with everyone there. the only thing, in order to cover the 'cost' factor of say what you could help raise by playing in a bigger venue say Key Arena (is that even around still?), is to raise the value of the tickets to say $200 a ticket. now i know we don't like high ticket prices, but it is for a good cause afterall.
either way, thanks for the support for the digital single release

Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

Definitely NOT trying to take advantage of someone else's disaster. I'm sure there are many that could speak to my character as better than that.
Honestly, it could be in Seattle or overseas. Large venue or small. My suggestion for the Showbox may not be an ideal venue but was suggested as a venue where the band has a great relationship and is local to the band, helping expedite relief while minimizing costs. You could do the Key Arena but the capacity is about 17,000 and you could never get that deal done quickly. While the Showbox is about 1100 capacity, Benny Hall is about 2500.
At the end of the day, it's the band's decision anyway. I apologize if you took my suggestion the wrong way. I was just hoping to add to the good idea that was started in this thread. I hope your day at work gets better. Thanks.

it's all good Stone'd, i know what you meant. did you read my compromise to you and Solats' suggestion on the previous page? i think we're on the same page.

just an idea, but one way for the band and maybe all of us to help contribute to the relief effort in Haiti could be if Ed (or the whole band) digitally release a (studio) version of Bruce Springsteen's song 'My City of Ruins' and donate all proceeds to the relief effort?
I think this is an awesome idea. I'd like to add that people can choose to pay how much they want for the song. Maybe a minimum of $1, but you can pay up to $1,000 if you want to donate that much.

I am relatively new in the 10 club, so I was wondering if anyone in the band or anyone close to the band (managers, assistants, etc.) read the boards regularly? I think Ed would love the idea if he saw it.

Just sell it on itunes/pearljam.com all proceeds go to help the cause.. I also like the idea of having the option to donate as little or as much as you would like... There's alot of generous pearl jam fans out there so i think this could really make a difference.
So who ever stands on the grapevine, make sure the ved sees or hears about this please
Love the idea totally. I also wished Ed had sung The Rising (although Sting did well too, I just prefer Ed). So maybe it could be both songs for a bonus and raise double the dough?
Comments
I'm guessing, though, that The Kennedy Center owns rights to the entire show, right? But maybe 10c could work something out. Or maybe he could just re-record it with Bruce's permission?
you never know though... maybe if Ed asks nicely?

I don't think that is true. I think Bruce would sign off on this.

STONEd and dAMENT-ED, you have come up with a great plan.
I think this is a great idea - I'd certainly buy it.
and I also think Bruce would sign off on it
