    How could a Seattle-based band even consider dropping its Hendrix tribute? It's beautiful. Let it be.

    Definitely time to retire YL. Never really liked it. Think Release would be a great finisher.

    They did that once...

    Nah. It could stand to be played a lot less, but half the time, it's played as an extra song. As ed says, Mike wants to kiss us goodnight.

    If my choices are Yellow Ledbetter, or Pearl Jam leaves the stage and I go home, I'm voting for Ledbetter.

    I agree with those saying no....especially now in a time of war, the lyrics are fitting and Eddie always changes them. I loved the change he made for night 2 of the Gorge. I think it is very fitting for them to play this song, even more so with SSB tag......keep playing it......

    I would be heartbroken if they retired it...

    It's one of my faves.

    no.

    Maybe the Star Spangeled Banner tag though.

    I agree. They often end their shows with YBL, and as good as that song is, it would be cool for them to end things with something more spectacular. JMO.
