A modern day Self Pollution Radio would be nice

Do you remember back in 1995 and 1998 when Pearl Jam did the Self Pollution Radio and  Monkey Wrench Radio broadcasts? It really would amazing if they would do something similar today. It doesn't have to actually be live, perhaps they do something like they did for the All in WA charity when they did "Dance of the Clairvoyants" and all performed the song remotely but expand it to include more songs. I know that it would help a lot of people in these trying times to see/hear them perform the Gigaton songs "live" and maybe a couple of the older tunes too. They could sell the streams and/or blu-rays and use the money for charities and help even more people. 
I’ve seen Pearl Jam 25 times, Eddie Vedder 9 times, and Brad once.

    Yeah it would definitely be a stream and not FM radio. 

    Why not a PJ Radio thing?

    Eddie was on SiriusXM Pearl Jam Radio not long ago. He and Rob took calls from fans.

    But yeah, the technology definitely exists for them to be remote in their own homes while making it sound like they're all together in the same studio.

    Two of the best moments in PJ history for me were the self pollution radio broadcasts. I’ve always wanted another. Such a cool format and now would be a perfect time for one with no live shows happening!

    Everyone loves that song! Imagine a live stream, Ed comes out solo and plays Believe You Me and then Then Pearl Jam launches into Just A Girl, stream over. Tickets for charity and a limited vinyl pressing...a boy can dream!

    23rd anniversary of MonkeyWrench Radio. 

    That was such a fun night.  I was at a get together with some friends.  Called my dad. Told him to put a blank cassette into a stereo and tune to whatever the station was.  I only missed the first 20 minutes and started listening on the drive home

    Would LOVE the full length video release of this broadcast.

    Maybe it will be the next video Vault release?
