Dirty Frank (or a Vs. heavy show) in Nashville: Let's end the curse of the Boston tease

I was at both Boston shows in 2018, and they were amazing! But night 2, when they teased Dirty Frank, I nearly lost my mind for the first ten seconds, until they segued into Dirty Water. So close! I'm hoping to catch it this tour, but for more than just being at that Boston show.
So, I'll be hitting up the Nashville show in April and I'll have my son Nathan in tow. This is his first Pearl Jam show ever (St. Louis will be his second!), and he is super excited. Nashville is a big deal for him, as he is a Jack White freak (solo, White Stripes, Dead Weather, Raconteurs, loves it all), and is dying to see Third Man Records. He just started learning to play acoustic guitar three months ago and loves music (also a big fan of Ty Segall, one of Jeff's favorites!). His buddy and him from the neighborhood are already jamming in the bedroom and planning a band (I use the term jamming extremely lightly!).
As I started pushing Pearl Jam on him, Dirty Frank was the first one that he really grabbed onto and absolutely loved it! He loves the funkiness and humor of it. Since then, he has been working his way through the catalog and currently loves DotC! For years, I've been telling him how amazing the shows are in terms of the set list, the anything can happen any night feeling, plus the community of meeting new people and sharing our love for our favorite band!
I really want his first show to be special (which it will be, even if they don't do Dirty Frank), but it would blow his mind to hear it I think!
Also, it's Dirty Frank! I think they've only played it 10 times? It's time to bust it out again! Let's make it happen!

if they followed with Wash and Even Flow it would be like that little EP/single with the remixed Even Flow!

Love it! Somebody needs to play the meat grinder from the original recording!
I’d still love to hear a PJ version of Dirty Frank (That Boston show!), as it was my son’s first PJ song that he loved! Would be super cool to hear it! But, if no Dirty Frank is in the cards, Vs. is his favorite album by far. So, a few songs off that masterpiece, (Go, Glorified G, Indifference) would blow his mind too.
In the end, we will just be psyched to be in the building and hearing them play! We are happy to hear anything!
I know it’s a long shot, but driving up we had Dirty Frank on our road trip play list and my son was asking if they played it any lately. Let’s get this one in there (and please play Sad for our other poster, that would be awesome as well)!
My son’s first guitar recital. 2 years ago this time he was barely working the acoustic, but the pandemic did wonders for guitar practice! He can’t wait for tomorrow’s show. It’s fun hearing him talk about all the guitar techniques on Ten as we were listening today!
