I think that might be the point of them always playing it...to calm everyone (themselves included) down before ending

True....If you end a show with Blood people might riot!

I like it. Mike gets to do his thing, Ed gets to mumble incoherently and you know that's the end of the show so you don't have that feeling when it's over like "are they gonna play one more?"

YL is the perfect way to cap off a PJ show. It's a beautiful song and it is a pleasure to watch Mike get in that zone at the end and close it out....

i am a target

Sign it and feel free to suggest a show...

I do NOT want to hear it at MSG, especially not twice, or even 3 times, they could play it twice in one show!

you could always leave before they play it.

Did you ever stop to think, maybe Yellow Ledbetter is just an added cookie?

What if you went to a show and it ended with say Rearviewmirror.. would you not want the band to come out and play one more song that happened to be Yellow Ledbetter?

awwww....what an image, an added cookie. i like it.
i think for most fans, it's simply a staple, expected.....it totally says, yes, the show is over and have a great night!


i do believe in italy? i think...they ended a show w/o YL. of course, i am not 100% certain. also, as others mentioned...it has happeed in the past as well. whateva. if i am there, i am HAPPY...it's all cookies......:D

If they opened w/ YL a good % of the people that listen to this band would probably get up and leave because of the confusion.

btw I've had 2 shows end with Alive and it felt very strange.

All I know is that in 2003 I went 4-4 in seeing RITFW end the show.

So for the love of God, please bury that one or at least don't play it at VA Beach or DC.

I'm one of those people who just accepts what they have to offer. I figure, if I limit the number of my wants... I reduce the number of possible disappointments. Besides, it's not everyday I get to see Pearl Jam play live. I'm not going to place expections on those nights.
I never leave a show with a feeling of something missed.

I sign to start a show with YL.

I dont understand why people dont like the show ending with YL. A lot of times, it comes in addition to RITFW, Baba, Fuckin Up, or something like one of those songs. I have been to 7 PJ shows, and every "true" PJ show (not counting Toledo 04 and Lolla 07) has ended with YL. To me it is the perfect goodbye. You know its the last song and its like a final reminder to just look around, or shut your eyes, and just take it all in. Or stand on your seat and snap a few pictures. I would not complain at all if every PJ show I go to the rest of my life ends with YL.

absolutely agree with you YL it's the perfect goodbye.

Hey I agree with you, but when you know the "process" that they use for picking songs, it still baffles me to this day that they ended both Raleigh and Charlotte with RITFW. It would've been the same if they ended with Ledbetter or any other song both nights. They feel the need to alternate openers, so why not the closers? They know their crowd, and to ignore the fact that the majority of the crowd is there on both nights amuses me a little. It doesn't piss me off or anything, it just goes against the precedent that they have set for themselves.

You know what I want for the SC show? To hear Evenflow, Alive, and for them to close with YL. Atleast I know I'm going to get what I want.

How about a petition to have anyone who bitches about stupid shit like this to leave the message board forever?

YLB sort of sucks the life out of the crowd

you're kidding, right? Most people go nuts for Ledbetter ... next time the lights are up, look around ... the only people leaving are the jaded bastards who have been to way too many shows.

This might be one of the most awesome-est things posted on here in a while. These are my sentiments exactly.
