Dear Pearl Jam, please play a Tragically Hip song at Wrigley Night One

Dear Pearl Jam,
I have an odd song request for the band to possibly cover at Wrigley Night One... And really, don't know how to ask any other way...
Could you please play a Tragically Hip song at Wrigley Night One, in tribute to Gord Downie and the band, for the faithful in Canada?
I am hoping/asking... because many of the faithful from Canada, can not attend Wrigley on night one...
The show occurs the exact same night as the Tragically Hip's last show ever... it will be quite a Celebration of the life/and career of Gord Downie (who, as we all know by now, has terminal brain cancer)...
Many people will be watching the "Late night show on the CBC" with family and friends... celebrating a Wonderful and Loving Human being.
It would mean so much, (to so many Canadians).
"We Love You Gord. ‪#‎TragicallyHip‬ ‪#‎Forever‬
Your Music, Your Passion, Your Life... All gifts to the World"
Thank you.
The Faithful

    If not on August 20 (when the Hip will be playing their last concert in Kingston) at least on August 22.
    Cheers from Canada.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    This was a special moment. It had additional meaning to me since I just lost a friend to brain cancer this week. I was definitely thinking of him as they played.

    Seriously couldn't believe no one else posted this! I don't go on this forum very often, but as soon as I found it, I needed to share. Don't know if you remember, but you sat beside me at Massey Hall for Ed's solo show ... Any recollection?

    I was at the Kingston show last night. Forget being a music fan: it was one of the most special nights of my life. I knew nothing about Ed and Gord knowing one another before yesterday; imagine what those two would've talked about??
