I just came up with a new way to request songs - BRIBERY! Hopefully I am not breaking any forum rules.

Tell Pearl Jam how much you will donate to the EB Research Partnership in exchange for them playing what song(s) you want to hear at the show(s) you're going to.

Here's a link to EB Research Partnership: https://www.ebresearch.org/

    Hopefully those are songs you like. :)

    Wasted Reprise - that's like $1 a second. River Cross - 3 rivers city. All they do there is cross rivers! Sad? There are 15-year olds there that have never seen the Steelers in a Super Bowl.

    I will pay $$$ for charity tickets -- benefiting EBRP or the Vitalogy Foundation -- to both Pitt shows. I have the hotel and the plane tickets, I'm ready willing and able! (I hope it's okay to say that!)

    Good idea but a bad precedent to set.  I don’t see it happening. Gives wealthy people chance to determine set lists.  Not really the band ethos
