    although, I find the lights up for it is very fitting. I see it as the band coming together with the crowd as one entity. they love seeing the crowd's faces, especially when they sing along. must be a pretty awesome moment for them.

    Indifference is my favorite closer but I'd take it at any point in the set. How about an Indifference opener?

    Indifference is a great song, but not a great closer IMO. The way the mood shifts with their setlists, I think it would be much better during the set between Encore break 1 & 2. Like others mentioned, I like the closing song to be a little more energetic.

    I really don't get Indifference as a closer either. It just sort of unceremoniously ends. Even though YL has been overplayed I still love it as a closer but then again I haven't been to 50 shows like some of you guys :)

    Love this song as a closer especially with the house lights on.

    I love this song (my favourite studio album closer) and think it's a great show closer. With this said, I think it loses some its it's haunted allure when they play it with the lights up. With THAT said, I don't think the band would want to end any of their shows on a ... somber note.

    This is one of my top 3 favorite Pearl Jam songs. I'd happily accept it as an alternative to Rockin in the Free World / Yellow Ledbetter :)

    It said "Life is nothing but a dream."

    It should be an opener with zero lights on stage.
    yes
    This would be amazing.

    Love Indifference. But not a favourite as a closer... it kind of leaves things hanging.

    One of my favorite song but it’s kinda depressing to end the show with this. Prefer YLB to end the gig

    Love it, how can that song not put you in a peaceful state of mind as you leave.
