Come Back is the Pearl Jam hill I will die on. Absolute heartbreaker of a song with that crunchy rock and roll backbone that kicks in.

I will at least climb this hill, but perhaps roll myself back down to a medic before bleeding out.

[PHATJ]

Lol, I really love Come Back too. Enough to smoke weed and listen to it.

I find myself reaching for live versions from 2006 almost exclusively if I want to listen to these songs, but I do think it's a good collection of songs, and probably is the most-improved album in terms of how I viewed it after its release vs. where it sits now

I dug this out again recently and posted this in one of the MM threads, but I may as well do so again here:

Pearl Jam - BLACK MARKET AVOCADO (Live 2006)

1. Severed Hand (Hartford, 13 May)
2. Comatose (Sydney, 18 November)
3. Life Wasted (St Paul, 26 June)
4. Gone (Sydney, 18 November)
5. Unemployable (San Francisco, 15 July)
6. Army Reserve (Zagreb, 26 September)
7. World Wide Suicide (Vitoria, 2September)
8. Marker in the Sand (Prague, 22 September)
9. Inside Job (Melbourne, 13 November)
10. Parachutes (Portland, 20 July)
11. Big Wave (Madrid, 7 September)
12. Wasted Reprise (Toronto, 10 May)
13. Come Back (Santa Barbara, 13 July)

LINK (FLAC & MP3)

This is an excellent compilation

Lol, I really love Come Back too. Enough to smoke weed and listen to it.

I believe I will do this today with the waltz trifecta:

All or None
Come Back
On My Way

Started to rank this it's like all 4 star songs excluding Big Wave. Really neat album.

I'm a little surprised people like Severed Hand so much. The guitar lead at the beginning is the ultimate "wow, this song is going to be awesome" moment but then it completely goes away for me once Ed starts singing. I've always thought this is one of their bigger missed opportunities for a song that should have been so much better than it is.

the song gives me a boner the entire time. no problem with ed's singing, but matt's voice adds a lot to the song. the bridge is incredible. mike rips at the end. i think this is a top 20 pj song for me.
