My hopes in Pittsburgh/rest of this tour

As I'm sure most people on here would agree, with pearl jam's large and diverse catalogue (especially live), anything I say today could be very different in 9 days when the show actually happens, but I'm feeling pretty excited about the show right now and feel like sharing some things I would think could be cool in Pittsburgh next week. Obviously, I don't expect all of these things to happen, and I even like that they won't because the surprise is what makes a pearl jam show so great, but just some songs/things that would really play in to my tastes or whatever that I feel like sharing.
Some songs I'm specifically hoping for that I've never seen in Pittsburgh: Jeremy, STBC Tremor Christ and Satan's Bed (Vitalogy is my favorite album), Wishlist, Severed Hand
I would love to see quite a bit of Riot Act/Binaural on the tour in general, like at least 4 total between the two, although personally I could go for like 5 from each, I actually don't mind that they have been mixed out a bit lately because with their large catalogue it's probably cool for many people who have went throughout years (unfortunately not me) or that listen to boots to switch it up from the stuff that was heavily featured on semi-recent tours I know its like 13 years ago now but still those tours had a ton of shows so those songs got played a lot. But I think it would be cool to bring some of that back now and chill on S/T and Backspacer a bit
Some things I would prefer not to get this time around: more than a few off Backspacer, for good reason the last few years have been packed with Backspacer, but I'm hoping the new album means Backspacer can get the Riot Act/Binaural treatment for a year or two to keep things fresh. Also specifically I am hoping for no Got Some, it's been a staple and I don't love it like I do The Fixer or Just Breathe.
I could also do without Why Go, Grievance, Comatose, Given To Fly, and Corduroy, great tunes but of the stuff I have seen a few times I could definitely trade these for a song I'm not used to getting, especially a swap of Corduroy for a lesser played Vitalogy song
Some staples I still want badly: PORCH, better man, even flow, black, daughter
finally what I think would really make for a special show in Pittsburgh or on the tour in general is a random song being extended outside of their staples. How sick would it be to randomly get just one song like a ten minute Of The Girl or like 6-7 min The Fixer. I'm not wanting DMB here, just one to catch us off guard and go nuts on would be amazing
