*Song Request* THE FIXER in Nashville

Title says it all, but I’ll divulge further below…
My very best friend, Kyle, is traveling here in Nashville for both shows after years of trying to make seeing the band together work, living far from each other. Through many tough personal times, he has always been there for me and when I’ve needed it been, well, my “fixer”.
Over the years, I’ve turned him into more and more of a fan of the band and the song that he has always from the start raved about is The Fixer, which I know the band - as of this writing - has not pulled off the shelf in over 7 years live. The 1st show on May 6th happens to be his birthday, so it’s great he’s chosen to come down for his first PJ shows.
I often see other song requests here and on social media and while I definitely don’t feel this backstory is on par with some others’ great emotional requests, if by some chance this got to the band - first, thank you for everything - and second, if this request could be fulfilled for my great friend, it would mean the world to me. And it would be great to share that memory with him, as he himself has been through so much in his personal life, especially in the past few years.
At any rate, looking forward to the shows and jamming with you all in music city!
Cheers,
Joe
