I just sent the following to ten club...
Thumbing My Way to Charlottsville, VA
Dear Ten Club
I know this is a long shot but I thought I would give it a try none the less.
I am a fan from South Africa.
You guys probably get these sorts of stories and requests all the time. My PJ journey has been as follows: Brisbane (2006); Sydney and Brisbane (2009); Buenes Aires (2011); Manchester, Amsterdam and Prague (2012); New York and Philadelphia (2013).
I am currently in a hotel in Charlottsville knowing that Baltimore must be really rocking at this very moment! Charlottsville is my final show of this tour before I head back to South Africa.
The two songs I have always wanted to see live have been Long Road and Thumbing. I got Long Road at Philly I at my 13th show and Come Back at Philly II brought tears to my eyes because of the people I have lost in the last couple of years, like so many other people on this forum. So I don't consider myself unique or special by any margin.
There is nothing more I would love than to hear Thumbing here in Charlottsvile. I know it's weird but it's my fav PJ song-will always be.
This is a simple request. I don't really care if it doesn't happen as PJ has given me so much of joy over the years that to expect them to play one song for one fan is sometimes a bit too self indulgent. I will still have a great time at the show I know, as I have at all 14 shows I have been to around the world to date.
I just felt I had to say this. Thank you Pearl Jam for wonderful shows, in a wonderful country that I have visited for the first time and to all the friendly and wonderful people of this great land.
I fly back home on Thursday, 30 Oct and take with me irreplaceable memories I will forever cherish.
Thank you!

great to hear your having a brilliant time out there too.
look forward to hearing all about it.
I hope you get this message but your not home...I will be there in just a minute or so...
I want to go but I want to go with you.
Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime. -MT
I've had enough, said enough, felt enough. I'm fine, still in it.
That isn't a knock at all against the OPs request, but just a pattern I've noticed.
Luckily "Come Back" gave me a bathroom break at Wrigley, but I only need so many bathroom breaks.
...are those who've helped us.
Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.
Hello Mags,
Thank you for sharing your story with us.
Please know that Ten Club receives an overwhelming volume of song requests during a tour. However, we have gone ahead and passed yours along. Please understand if we are unable to honor your request though.
We're so glad you could join us on the North American Tour!!! We know you will enjoy this last show regardless.
Best Wishes,

Would love them to come to SA... look out for our Facebook fan pages and twitter page... all with the url ending /PearlJamSA
Saw we actually got a mention on the release day of Lightning Bolt!
Pearl Jam - Please come to South Africa....
PS. if you're watching any of the shows ED has spotted and acknowledged a banner before with the slogan "Please come to South Africa"
Who knows? first the Boss then THE BAND
I am hanging in the balance of a perfect finished plan
Like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand.
Thumbing back in a setlist for the 1st time since Nov 19th 2006, and this boot will be the first in my cart as a consequence.
Let's hope this amazing song doesn't disappear for another 7 years.

Thank you ten club. Thank you Pearl Jam! It's been a blast!
To David Dean who did all the hard work at the preparty last night: I really admire you and all the others who give so selflessly to the Wishlist Foundation.
David thank you for a truly memorable evening. It was awesome!
Any of you ever come to South Africa be sure to look me up. I return to South Africa with a bunch of precious memories from the 5 shows I was blessed to attend.
All my best!
