UPDATE **Dad Diagnosed with ALS last year** PAYING IT FORWARD RELEASE IN BOSTON FOR DEREK

Feel free to make fun. I don't post often.
My wife and I will be in Chicago for the Wrigley shows on August 18th and I was curious how the band found out about certain fans and their requests.
My dad was diagnosed with ALS last year and I would love to hear 'Smile' that night. I play harmonica, and the words to that song are meaningful to me and my situation with my dad.
I love that song and it would be cool to hear while we were there... the Gleason Foundation is donating a gift basket to my dad's charity softball game I started last year and I know Steve Gleason is close with PJ.
Thanks for your input, both positive or otherwise.

Don't mean to threadjack, but what do you guys think is PJ's most UNIQUE song? (Aka the song that is the most different from all of their other ones).
For me, Smile would be the one.

After loosing my Dad in June of 2016, I posted here as an outlet to express the feelings I was going through and explained how “I’ve got a Feeling” connected me and my dad. The good people of this community kept it on the first page for most of the summer and somehow it got to the band. I hope the same happens for you and I’ll pledge to bump this thread whenever I’m on here as a reciprocal show of love.
Hearing that dedication in Boston (we were right on the field, about 20 feet from the stage) meant the world to me and my family and helped me get out of a really dark place. It will be something I’ll cherish forever. I’m looking forward to playing the bootleg for my son (now only 9 months old) when he gets older to honour the grandfather that he never got to meet. This band is so unique and they just get it.
Much love, strength, and support to you and your family,
Matt

I hope you get to hear Smile. ALS is a terrible disease. We lost my Dad to it after a very intense battle. Thinking of you and your family and wishing the absolute best to your Dad.
