Gimmie the beat, boys

Hello everyone,
So, I'm not a very active member of the board, but I had an idea and a couple of my PJ friends suggested I share that idea here...
Every time I hear "Drift Away," by Dobie Gray, I think of Pearl Jam. So I thought, wouldn't it be cool if the audience could sing a bit of it TO them during PJ20. Either just the chorus, or the entire part I posted below... I was thinking right as they come back from the 1st encore break Sunday night.
Does anyone else agree that this would be kind of cool? And do you think it's possible to pull this off?
Just an idea. And if I'm a super-nerd and this sounds dumb to you all, I can accept that.

Thanks for the joy that you've given me
I want you to know I believe in your song
And rhythm and rhyme and harmony
You help me along
Makin' me strong
Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock n roll
And drift away
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock n roll
And drift away

I will gladly give this a bump it would be stellar if they came back out after the 1st encore and everyone was singing

Well this could be really fun if it worked! My bro and I will be paying attention and go along if it works out. We will be towards the front of 201 that night, so that may help."Can't buy what I want because it's free..."0

LOL! I wasn't ever into Dawson's Creek, but that was a terrible way to kill a character.
So I think I'll make some flyers or something to hand out Sunday night. If it works, awesome. If not, at least I tried. :?When the stars exploded billions of years ago, they formed everything that is this world. Everything we know is stardust...0 -

But aren't you scared Uncle Kracker will jump up on stage??
None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe that they are free.
