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.

After thinking about a bit, I realized that I may know you STONEd. Were you at the Philly shows? And yeah, you bring up a good argument about the deal getting done quicker with Showbox. But the big question is: Can I be your ticket buddy? I'll donate what I can, I promise.

LOL. Damn...wish I was at Philly. Something about work and money got in my way...lame. Anyway, I'd love to see this thread gain momentum. If not a single release or benefit show I know we have a lot of great ideas brewing on this forum that perhaps we can bring to fruition.

SolarWorld

Bathgate66

First off, Bruce and Jon Landau would have to okay this,

STONEd and dAMENT-ED

Looks like this train ran out of steam?

Whoever posted said they got a reply from 10C and were waiting for permission to share that...

something is better than nothing.

i'm going against 10c's wishes here by posting this as i have not heard back from them if i'm allowed to post this. my apologies to 10c in advance... here's what they wrote back.

"Hi *****,

We of course love this idea. However, it’s not Ed’s song to release as he wishes, it’s actually Bruce Springsteen's song. We will however pass this along to our activism staff because you just never know what can happen.

Thanks for contacting us.

Best,
10c"

i know it's not an Earth-shattering reply, but they never replied to me after asking if i could share this with everyone. just thought i'd be a good 10clubber and play nice. anyway, we'll see if 'something else' comes out of this. at least they sound optimistic about something 'happening'. sorry if i let anyone down waiting to hear the news.

Thats to be expected to be fair, but good of you to post so we all know, I dont think 10club would have the slightest issue with you making this public

Nice idea, but I can't see a major artist like Bruce signing off on it unless he's the one doing the singing.

you never know though... maybe if Ed asks nicely?

double A side eddie singing on side 2 the other bruce(side 1 as its his song)...best of both worlds...and more sales to raise oney

Evensteven

Like I said before, Ed covering Bruce on one side and Bruce covering Ed/Pearl Jam on the other. Maybe just use the cover of Betterman with Ed.

Evensteven

It's available now at iTunes!

Still In Hiding

dottles

congrats on coming thru big time 10c and Ed, and Bruce for being a badass and letting this go thru. i'm so happy right now!!!
