Looking kind of suspicious, havent played it since Pittsburgh.

I may be jumping to conclusions but that has to be the longest they have went without playing it, in some time.

    It's a great song but I think played a little too often from tours past IMO...course if this is the case, five years from now we'll all be holding signs reading "LEDBETTER" please...kinda like the Leash debacle

    I think it would be one of the coolest moves to make.

    We are Pearl Jam and we control this ship.

    Retire it, why not.

    Let Indifference take its place.

    personally think this song is overrated! i know many people love it but i would like to see it take a backseat to other songs! i doubt it will be gone for good but a little break from it is a good thing!

    The dropping of YL has been one of the more exciting developments lately. It's great not know what a show will end with.

    I get a kick out of always reading about how they need to drop YL as the closer..and then people are all confused when the show ends with Porch, as an example. I think they should keep YL just so you know when to go home and give up hoping. hahahahahha

    Well, I like it as a closer sometimes, and was really waiting for it when I hadn't heard it my first two shows. However, I think it should only close really big shows, or just once in a while as a kind of random thing. Its not the best song in the world, and it would be cool to start hearing other songs close. Also, how fucking wierd would it be to hear this song in the middle of a set... Now thats something I'd like to see.

    Well, I frickin love that song, but I definately think that it could be played less...would be a little more exciting if it was rarer (more rare?).
    I think Come Back would be a great closer, so if you mix in that with Indifference, and maybe throw in a few others (like Porch last night!), maybe they could only play it like 1/4 of the time. That would be a little better IMO.
    I was absolutely DYING to hear this last year, I didn't hear it the first 2 shows I went to (in '93 and '03), but have now heard it 6 shows in a row.
    But hey, whatever PJ wants to play, I'm always happy to hear...

    Peace
