I was at that Columbia show.  Education was fantastic.  The arena was at the University of South Carolina.  I won the first two rows lottery and sat on the front row.  Ed kneeled down during the show and handed me a pick.  It was unreal.  They also played a full WMA right after Education that night. They also played Footsteps to start the 2nd encore.  Some guy close to the front had "FOOTSTEPS"  painted on what looked to be a  towel and Ed took it and held it up and placed it on something on the front of the stage and then they played it.  Play this video below and start at 49:17 to see it.

So that's what you need to do Pap.  Get a towel and paint "EDUCATION" on it and get up front and maybe then they will play it.  Congrats on your PhD.  Way to go man.  That's fantastic.  Sure hope they play it for you.

Historical facts about the University of Portsmouth, UK:

This July marks a special month for us as we celebrate our 30th anniversary as a university on Thursday 7 July 2022.

Our roots as an institution date back to 1870 to the Portsmouth and Gosport School of Science and Art, and we became Portsmouth Polytechnic in 1969, buying Ravelin Park from the Government. In the same year our first halls of residence – Rees Hall – opened in a prime position overlooking Southsea Common.

Our students have also rubbed shoulders with cultural icons over the years, acting as extras for The Who in the film Tommy in 1974 and watching an early appearance by Nirvana at the Students’ Union on their first UK tour in 1989. 

And in 1992 after a decade as one of the largest and best performing polytechnics in the UK, we out-grew our old name and received university status. The University of Portsmouth was born.
