Yellow Ledbetter should be incorporated into the rest of the set list, not just the encore. I understand why they do this but I think they have made there point by now. It's just...Keep the entire show some what of a surprise..

    Ive said this for years...........it was awesome when the played it in 2000 in the Key only to let just about the whole arena empty

    ONLY TO COME OUT AND FINISH WITH "DON"T BELIEVE IN CHRISTMAS"

    I can't imagine that they don't recognize the mass exodus when the chords of that song kick in.

    I would definitely like things changed up a bit for this tour... I'm fine with YL as the last song, but I wouldn't mind a little less RITFW at the end of the show

    I hear you there! I'd prefer some other cover...not sure what exactly. But I think something can definitely be found. Something like Man on the Moon, The Waiting, or some other well known rock song would be sweet!
    I still want Ledbetter to close the show...it's just the perfect closer IMO.

    Yeah, and then end the show with Corduroy or WWS, or perhaps Go.

    Agreed...but I'd like to see Fuckin' Up, followed by YL. It's just the perfect closing song.

    Yellow Ledbetter is the shit and is almost the most perfect closer......leave it, just not every night. Oh yeah and stop playing RITFW so damn much..

    yeah i wasn't saying kill YL, just switch out fuckin' up for RITFW. i love YL as the closer. I work at lowes and one night when we were closing me and a coworker grabbed a cd player/battery charger off the shelf and played it overhead. also my fiance agreed that we should play YL as the last song at our wedding reception.

    I love when they play YL. It gives me a 10 minute head start on the crowd as I leave as soon as I hear the first 2 notes. It's so old and the lyrics are so butchered every night.

    And seriously if I do leave and they play something else after YL it would be RITFW, another song I can't take anymore.

    I've brought that up before too. So many of their closers would make great openers and vice-versa. Open with RITFW, close with Wash or Oceans. Play YL to end the first set and then close with Release. I mean, imagine!
