For me it's in the pre chorus.

Almost feels like a mash between rival and grievance, with a touch of parting ways.

Where should this song fit into the setlist? I'm thinking always within the first five songs, unless they do a big light show thing - so then first encore right after Soon Forget (always).

Last song before the encore with a huge jam and lots of Boom keyboards.

According to the vinyl, Watt has writing credit on the music. Is this the first Pearl Jam original with a non-member writing?
