What Would you do???

You just purchased a new Pearl Jam Album and you got the Golden CD (yea I am ripping of Willie Wonka). The grand prize of getting to select a city anywhere in the World for Pearl Jam to play on their next tour. Not just the USA or the country where you reside. It could be somewhere the band has never played before. In a stadium, club or even a field (like randals island).But not only do you get to pick the location Eddie is letting you pick the Setlist as well. He just asks that you pick between 28-32 songs and leave the Main Set @17-20 songs with no covers. You can have 2 or 3 encores and pick up to 4 cover songs. Anything goes in the encores the band has said. You even get to pick the opening act or acts up to 3 and Pearl Jam will still play the full set you decide on.Plus you get to pick your seats for you and 3 guests. Who would your guests be and why??? (the last question is just my own curoisity because I always have trouble picking who gets my second fanclub ticket, usually its someone new unless I see one show then its my dad).

If I won here is where I would want to see them play.

Location: Sydney Harbour, Australia
Venue: Bradleys Head Amphitheater

Encore 2:

I would want to sit on the stage on Mike's side and my 3 guests would be. My dad becasue he loves Pearl Jam just about as much as me. My best friend because she too loves Pearl Jam, and my 3rd guest would be someone that I meet outside the venue who had no ticket to the show and has yet to see the band perform live.

I know this is just a pipe dream but I think its a fun thread if you have the time. Interested in everyones choices.
You can spend your time alone, re-digesting past regrets
Or you can come to terms and realize
You're the only one who can't forgive yourself
Makes much more sense, to live in the present tense

    Well, hell what was it the venue or the setlist that decided you to choose mine over one of your own??

    I think the ultimate PJ prize for a contest would be to "drop a digit" on your 10C#. Take any # out of your existing 4,5 or 6 digit# and thats your new 10C# for life. This would almost guarentee 3rd - 5th row for every concert you went to from that point on. That would be the shit!
    I'll leave where and what they play up to them, they've been doing a great job of traversing the globe for the past almost 20 yrs.

    Nice this place was up in my top 3. I selected mine because of the view and for the small intimate show. But a show there would be awesome and your setlist really kicks ass too. I almost ended my show with indifference featuring Ben Harper but from what I have read alot of people on here dont like it when Ben acompanies pJam on stage.

    Somewhere in the Phillipines. And my guests would be Muiren77, Suns Rival , and Danika Bookworm. Three former posters from before the switch to 10c members only. They would get to pick the setlist.

    Believe it unfair that members from a country the band has only played once in their career should be shut out of posting. The show would be for them.
