Have I done the impossible?

So last night at Wrigley marked my 4th show since 2010. I was talking to some folks about our most interesting Pearl Jam fact, and they all agreed that mine was the most surprising of them all.

After 4 shows, I have still never seen Yellow Ledbetter live.

Has this ever been accomplished before? I have seen Alone, Immortality, Wash, Chloe/Crown of Thorns, Hold On, Brain of J, and many more, but no YL...

    I've been about 50-50 on YL, 13 of 25, so it doesn't seem to me THAT surprising.

    Glad I'm not the only one. Some people act like it's the plague because it is played so much. I would like to hear it someday though :)

    It's an experience when you do. The first time I heard it was at Hartford in '08. I brought my 13 year old brother to his first concert ever, and the people next to us had received the setlist from someone early. It wasn't scheduled to be on there, so as soon as Fuckin' Up was almost done I could tell my brother was wiped. We got up and started walking towards the entrance to finish watching the song there. They started the first riff and I made that poor kid walk all the way back to our seats! He wouldn't admit it then, but I know he enjoyed every minute of it. He got a kick out of the police officer next to us on duty singing along to YL. It's moments like that, that no one can take away from you, and this band is powerful enough to provide. I hope your first time is just as memorable!

    I've been to 32 shows and seen everything (aside from the obscure) except Oceans. I'm hoping I get it at Brooklyn in October.

    In the same boat, figured that YL would be a given, and it was on the list last night but just didnt fit with the rain delay. On the positive side it seems we have hit a good streak of rare songs waiting for elusive closer.

    I am hoping to catch it in the fall,, but if not the consolation of unusual songs will be welcome too.

    4 shows is too small a sampling. After 10 shows, maybe.
