They've been playing it forever and there's something kind of traditional about them playing it last (or second-to-last) at this point - I'd prefer to hear it than Yellow Ledbetter, personally.

Does anyone know who he was?

(Fuckin' Up is obviously the best, though - also the only one of the three I haven't heard at a show yet.)

Some guy Ed saw dancing at the back so he brought him on-stage, I think.

“Is that a yellow shirt?” he asked. “You made quite an impression.”

To be singled out by the lead singer is an accomplishment enough. But right before the night ended with “Rockin’ in the Free World,” Vedder invited the same fan on stage. Halfway through the song, the man finally made it to the stage and danced alongside the band as it extended the song to maximize the moment.

How many thousands of fat, middle-aged dudes will be wearing yellow shirts at the next show?
