The music you'll hear is from a track on Backspacer apparently, from a track called 'the end'

'A small group of us remained in our seats after everyone left, listening to the exit music, a lovely string quartet that was at first just background music but very very soon had me transfixed and not talking to anyone while I realized what I was hearing. I blurted “Brian, listen” to my seatmate. I’m a geek, I know. A woman taken by Pearl Jam in 1992 and not yet given back to the world. So you know I’ve heard that recording circulating of the new song Ed played in Philly and Baltimore, the one people are calling “The End”. So guess what the string quartet exit music song is? You better stay and listen to it after the show is over. It’s “The End”.

Thanks for hanging in there with me. Guess what? I’m going tomorrow night. And to Memphis. I feel it. '

    Your not the only geek!!!!!

    I heard it too.............Ive been totally consumed with this song ever since Philly!!! :D
    It's confusing to me though, the "symphony" version that was played as we were exiting WAS the song.
    So which came first...the symphony or the song???

    Cheers!
    How I choose to feel......is how I am.

    The symphony came after..it is without doubt THE most beautiful song Ed has ever written ever and it's the jewel in the crown of this album. Get ready to reorganise your top 5 favourite Pj songs kids, 'cos this is about to become your favourite!
