I wonder when’s the last time Matt listened to the studio version. He probably just “remembers how it goes” from playing it over the years.

This is my favourite pearl jam song, but I haven’t really enjoyed a live version in years. In fact, if they asked me to write the setlist, I would probably omit it. And then tell them how sad I am about feeling the need to omit it. Then request Get Right

His run with this song was too short.
I always want to hear this song live, and then when I hear live versions I'm always disappointed with Matt's drumming. Matt is a great drummer, and I know he could drum it like Jack if he wanted to. Why don't you want to, Matt?

Jack is a very idiosyncratic drummer, I really doubt Matt could play those songs close to the same way, even if he wanted to.

That's not a knock on Matt, he is a great drummer, but he approaches the instrument in a very different way to Jack. I'm sure he would acknowledge that too.
