Song Request: Wishing Well for Wrigley!

Wishing Well has never been played live...incredible cover of Free's version.  

It rocks on the 2015 Single.  

If there's one place to break to the seal on this one, due to Eddie and the band's relationship with Wrigley it would be great to hear it there.  "You've always been a good friend of mine!"  It would be awesome.

    Okay I'm begging for this one.....

    Take off your hat; kick off your shoes    
    I know you ain't goin' anywhere        (Wrigley Field 1914......)
    Run 'round the town, singin' your blues   (Cubs hadn't won a World Series prior to 2016.....)
    I know you ain't goin' anywhere   (Note: And may Wrigley have 100 more seasons....)
    You've always been a good friend of mine    (Note: Ed's relationship with Cubs)
    But you're always sayin' farewell
    And the only time that you're satisfied
    Is with your feet in the wishing well    (Note: "It's gonna happen!" and it did)
    Oh! Yeah! Wish!
    Throw down your gun
    You might shoot yourself
    Or is that what you're tryin' to do?
    Put up a fight you believe to be right   
    And someday the sun will shine through
    You've always got something to hide;
    Something you just can't tell
    And the only time that you're satisfied
    Is with your feet in the wishin' well
    Oh! Yeah!
    But I know what you're wishin' for:
    Love in a peaceful world. Yeah!                (Note:  All the stuff going on today....)
    Love in a peaceful world. Oh, yeah!
    Love in a peaceful world
    Mmmmmmmm
    Na na na na na na na-na
    Na na na na na na na

    Thanks folks....I just think it would be a great fit for Wrigley and the last few years.  Honestly, whatever the band wants to play is great by me! However, I'd love to see this one at Wrigley even though it's a cover.

    If this replaces Getaway on the Wrigley sign request (play Leash pussies/play Getaway pussies) I would bmacceor that. Such a solid rocker for sure.

    I would LOVE to hear this song played at Wrigley... I'm shocked that they haven't played it live before. Let's get this on the setlist! Fingers crossed!

    The more I think about it, the more I hope this song gets played this tour. If not Wrigley, somewhere in the Home / Away concerts. (... but would REALLY love for it to happen in Chi-town)...

    Wishing well HAS to happen. I know it’s a long shot but I keep thinking about how awesome this would be to drop on the crowd. Talk about about a crap-your-pants-inducing moment, dusting off a song like this for “the seeeerious collectooors”...

    Would be incredible.  

    It just fits with Wrigley and Ed and also is timeless with all the stuff going on in the world.  

    Won't be disappointed as I know it's a "long shot.....", but the band's version is incredible and it would be amazing to hear them play it.
