    I hope not too. It's too slow and droning to be a closer in my opinion. I think it is a bit of a momentum-killing song despite Mike's soloing on it. It struggles when it is played on the radio amidst other more "upbeat" music too.

    Love the song, but not as a closer. I wouldn't mind it as an opener.

    Nah! It's a brilliant song which I'd love to hear live but it doesn't sit well in a setlist. Even though I love it I still think it's a little overrated. I love putting Binaural on and hearing the studio version where it sounds at it's best.... :)

    This brings up and interesting topic. What could they replace the standard closing songs with?


    I don't think NAIS is one if them.

    would be cool to see them end with BLOOD

    I wouldn't choose NAIS myself. I wish they'd go back to Indifference to close out the concerts. My other choices would be:

    NAIS would be a great opener, or encore 1 opener.

    Not a closer, although I'll take NAIS over RITFW or yellow led any day!

    There's a thread about what song should be taken out of the regular rotation. My vote, without hesitation, is Yellow Ledbetter.

    And I believe the band should always leave you with a Pearl Jam song being the last song you hear at their concerts.

    Yea, I'm with you on that one. I think I'd leave the show pretty bummed out!

    -1. I would be OK with YL as a closer every time. It's like a lullaby and I love Mike's extended solos and the rest of the guys just hanging out watching him, talking and laughing and having fun.

    I hope not. I love the song, but I just don't think it's suitable as a closer.

    God no!

    But I like your train of thought. Anything and I mean anything but YL. And RITFW too. So over these!

    I would happy If they would just play the song more often.

    Anyway to get that to happen is the right answer.

    It can be a setlist dragger, or momentum killer...

    But opening an encore with it might be awesome :)

    Play it more pretty please!
