Not exactly on topic. But I played Yellow Ledbetter for my mom yesterday, after surfing the radio in the car and finding nothing good, and she was like "Now this is great!"
you couldn't swing if you were hangin' from a palm tree in a hurricane.

I hate to hear YL...because it means it's over!
but otherwise I actually like it to finish.
Parting Ways would be a good closer too.
What I am sick of is getting Baba or RITFW as second to last all the time.. I don't mind the songs themselves but THEY are now marking the end of the show rather than YL... htat's getting into a routine and I don't like routine :(
I wouldn't mind hearing something like Porch closing with a real long extended jam. But then again, it'd be really wierd to have the house lights on with Porch playing, so maybe not.
You know, Yellow Ledbetter is a good closer. Or Breath, that'd be a sweet closer I think.

i love indifference and it is a treat to hear it live............BUT, when they closed with it a meadowlands 1 it had a pretty unsatisfying feeling, like i thought for sure they would play another, and when the lights went up it felt wrong...........did someone already say this? i didn't read all 6 pages of the thread
"I'll tell you what: If all I had was Pearl Jam, and I didn't have another band in the world, I would not be worried. Because in there is the essence of making great music. You don't have to use it all at once, but it's there." - Neil Young
(ignoring the fact that YL was an unexpected extra encore) they closed Cardiff in 2000 with Smile.
Jeff on guitar (including part of the solo), Stone on bass, everyone singing "I miss you alreeeeeeaaaaaaadyyyyyyyyyyyyy". It was perfect.
Plus Eddie descibed it at the start as "It's a 'going away' song, I guess" and it's not exactly a regular in the set so it would be even cooler if they started playing it more often

YL is irreplaceable and no matter how many times I hear it played or see it performed I will never get sick of it. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who feels this way.

Seems like a lot of people would rather see another song to for PJ to close a show with than 'Yellow Ledbetter'. I still enjoy but wouldn't mind seeing other songs to close with.
What do you think would be a good replacement for it?
My choices would be 'Gone' or 'Present Tense'
Never! My fav closer for a Pearl Jam show. The perfect period to end it, with the twangy notes at the end begging thee show to not end.

or perhaps a solo Eddie acoustic "Can't Keep" would be funny. That is perhaps the most underrated song in all of Pearl Jam's catalog...

But the guy who said people just stand around until they play YL is right - people just won't believe its over for a while until its played.
