A quiet request for Save You - Nashville 2

Hi all - longtime lurker, and maybe my second post ever. I know most of you by handle and content on here though I never really engage or post. Nashville N1 was show 32, with show 33 coming on Nashville N2 on Thursday.
I grew up in Nashville and came back into town to bring my lifelong best friend with me. We have seen probably 5 shows together over the years (first one in Knoxville 98), but see each other rarely as I've lived outside of TN for the last 25 years or so. Several months ago we hadn't chatted in a while and I reached out. My timing was fortunate, as he was in a really dark place and thinking of really sad things due to some real hardships he's been through. I've been fortunate in the last months to be able to help out and be able to be there for him.
His story isn't mine to tell, but I would love to hear Save You as we celebrate him making a turn out of the darkness a bit. Alive hit him hard on night 1, and this has been a great week to see him cling back to living a full life again. If this is somehow seen and the band feels like playing it, it would be great to hear. No names are needed. He wouldn't know this request is for him. But this song means a lot, and I know it's reflective of all sorts of situations like this - the two of us aren't distinct in any way.
Be there for your people and reach out. Thank you Pearl Jam for two awesome shows in Nashville and helping me breathe life and light back into someone that needs it.
