They'll give all 4 original members and major songwriters a tune: Given To Fly (Mike) NAIS or Jeremy (Jeff) Betterman (EdVed) Alive (Stoney)
I believe they'll play a jam with everyone and Uncle Neil, likely RITFW, and if it's 3 songs and the jam I guess Jeff's tune is on the cutting room floor (unfortunately)
I think it's a good chance they get more than 3 or 4 songs. I'm not into trying to get a song with each drummer and it's so hard to pick a handful of songs for this set, but I think I'd be happy with the following:
Given to fly Mym Grievance Do the Evolution w/Neil in chorus 1/2 full w/Neil Alive Close it out with RITFW with all artists
Would be cool to hear a cover as well-sonic reducer/know your rights/bleed for me.
Really, as long as sirens or the fixer don't make an appearance, I'll be happy!
I pretty much have to agree with Rummy's post.Can't leave Corduroy or RVM out. GTF at the original tempo is another awesome choice and close it with Alive c/w guests. If there's room for a fifth song, it's Present Tense and of course prior to Alive. As fine and respectful job as they've done on the many covers, this is PJ's NIGHT, a night to honour how awesome and deep their own catalogue is. Let any guest musicians join in the tribute to the incredibly special and largely unique path that this band has carved out.

Historically bands have only played 3 or at most 4 songs. Nirvana got 4 a couple years ago and their songs are shorter than PJ's for the most part. I went to the 2012 ceremony in Cleveland when the Chili Peppers got in and they did 3 songs, then the 4th was "Higher Ground" as a jam with everyone. I'm thinking 3 or 4 for PJ is most likely with the 4th probably being a jam with everyone, RITFW or another cover or ideally 4 PJ songs then a 5th cover to close it out with everyone.

Unlikely to happen, but if Nirvana did it with 4 singers why not PJ with 4 drummers - we can dream. I'm also being somewhat conservative with the song choices, just don't see them busting out something exotic even in my dreams on this kind of occasion:
GTF (with Jack) Go or RVM (with Dave A) Alive (with Dave K) RITFW (with Matt, Neil etc.)
What I realistically expect: MYM or Lightning Bolt (with Matt) - something "new", but hopefully not Sirens though I concede it's possible, since the band all seem to regard this as a high watermark. To each their own...
Alive (with Dave K) RITFW (with Matt and Dave K, Neil etc.)
The whole world will be different soon... - EV

RITFW at the end with everyone.
Would feel wrong playing RITFW. Neil was inducted in 1995 (or whenever), they could have ended with it then..

Nothing against the song or PJ playing it.
But this evening. Celebrate with original material.
Jeremy - Krusen
Corduroy - Dave A
Given to Fly - Jack
Lightning Bolt (or something from the late era) Matt C
Alive - Matt C
Given To Fly - w/ Irons
Alive - w/ Krusen
End the show with Rocking In The Free World w/ Neil Young & all 3 drummers
But you're leaving out Dave A. Not a fan of that.
Still hoping for them to skip RITFW and do Alive with everyone instead.
but let it be a Pearl Jam song.
"Not, oh lets do your song Neil or lets do a The Who song"

Mym
Grievance
Do the Evolution w/Neil in chorus
1/2 full w/Neil
Alive
Close it out with RITFW with all artists
Would be cool to hear a cover as well-sonic reducer/know your rights/bleed for me.
Really, as long as sirens or the fixer don't make an appearance, I'll be happy!
Given To Fly - Jack
Even Flow - Dave K
Alive - Matt (everyone)
Do we know if Jack has accepted PJ's invite? - I hope he's there!!
I heard that Dave A refused his invite from PJ.
