:oops:
Mike brings the riff back in at the end in his lead part. It's there.

Not like it was on the Youtube clip, where it was basically the intro replayed over their little commercial.

I never recovered from my girlfriend laughing at me over The Fixer, despite my efforts to hide it from her. Now I keep my fandom, such as it is, a secret.

I feel like Lightning Bolt (song) is the generic pearl jam song that encompasses the entirety of backspacer, yet is better than most of it.
