INDIFFERENCE never played in Pittsburgh (a 15 year request)

I don’t really have a story, but those that have seen my posts know I’ve been trying to hear this song for at least 15 years now.  I’ve been to every PJ show in Pittsburgh (and about 25 others) and still just can’t catch this one.  I went back and looked at my old posts and found ones dating all the way back to 2010 looking for Indifference:

https://community.pearljam.com/discussion/133002/ahh-indifference-a-lot-this-tour-and-i-missed-them-all. 2010 Somehow was not played at the Spectrum shows the year before.

https://community.pearljam.com/discussion/212188/ahh-indifference-why-must-you-taunt-me  2013 - 

https://community.pearljam.com/discussion/219393/indifference-never-played-in-pittsburgh 2013 even tried the same title the last time they were in Pittsburgh

https://community.pearljam.com/discussion/258058/indifference-fenway-now-your-just-messing-with-me  2016 It was on the setlist for Fenway 1 and was scratched.

https://community.pearljam.com/discussion/295961/louisville-long-shot-request-indifference 2022 Knew this was a long shot but had to try.  Was wrong on my show count.

https://community.pearljam.com/discussion/302772/small-request-indifference-in-seattle-ok-begging 2024 Seattle

https://community.pearljam.com/discussion/304871/baltimore-indifference-30th-show-never-heard-it 2024 Baltimore - 30th show.  Was in the pit and tried making a sign but didn’t want to bother everyone around me so only held it up briefly.

So just putting it out there into the PJ universe in hopes that someone can put in a good word for this song in Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh closers since the song has existed:
98 - Yellow Ledbetter
00 - Baba O’Riley
03 - Yellow Ledbetter
05 - RITF (opening for Rolling Stones)
06 - Yellow Ledbetter
13 - Yellow Ledbetter

And hey I know it’s usually played as a closer but I think it’s also been an opener a few times too so if you want to just open up Pitt 1 with it, you’ll probably hear me from the upper deck.

    100% support this

    I would love to hear Indifference in Pitt.  They need to put Indifference back into the rotation as a closer.

    It’ll close night 2, that’s my show. I’ve gotten it 5 of my 8 shows, I expect I will this time too

    Please, just want to hear Indifference just once.  Could even surprise us and open Pitt 1 with it!

    Selfishly bumping.  Really want to hear this one after striking out the last 30 times.

    I hope you get it.   I've been to 31 shows and only gotten it once (Seattle '09).   It took me forever to see it live, and I've never seen it again since.  So many Ledbetter's, so few Indifference's here in the pacific northwest :(

    Setting Sun to close one night, Indifference the other?

    I'll support this, love it the few times i've seen it at the end of a set.
    Wouldn't it be funny if the world ended in 2010, with lots of fire?

    The thing I worry about is they tend to like to close legs/tours with Yellow Ledbetter so I would hope they go Indifference on night 1 and then bring back the dual closer of Setting Sun/YL like they were doing in the early shows last year

    Well I guess I should have went to Atlanta.  Please play it again in Pittsburgh!

    Bump to update the original post with some more context on my Indifference saga.

    Shameless bump
