As a change from the quiet, small performance Gibbard did all those years ago, Mark observes as a seemingly more energetic Ben performs at the William Randolph Hearst Greek Theatre in Berkeley.

This song deals with the throes of middle age, and here, Kozelek expresses it through his body; while Gibbard is able to dance onstage, Kozelek can’t even stand in the crowd without aching.
This could also be commentary on the progressive culture of live music or media itself; Kozelek may be shaking his head at the mobs of drunk kids who, in an age of overstimulation thanks to cellphones and computers, need to be entertained with over-the-top stage presence. Kozelek yearns to return to the peace of that nameless man performing in Spain all those years ago.
He met Ben when Ben was on a side stage. Now, 14 years later, Ben is spry and in his prime playing a large show in a large venue, while all Mark can think about is that he’s been standing for a few hours and his legs hurt. He’s an old man now, and this isn’t for him anymore. That’s why he just goes home.
It’s talking about the Greek Theater in LA. Notorious hill with hard parking.
