In the Moonlight sounds to me like mixing oil with water. Pearl Jam never sound comfortable playing drummer songs.
While a Western guitar motif lost on the swings drum bass fusion, get your own thoughts into the subconscious often forgotten. "Pendulum" is a sweeping soul from the ballast.

You may be on to something here, but I like that nervous energy that results from them playing something that's slightly out of their comfort zone.

2. Sleight of Hand
3. Grievance
4. Insignificance
5. Breakerfall
6. Of the Girl
7. Parting Ways
8. NAIS
9. Thin Air
10. Rival
11. Evacuation
12. Soon Forget
13. God's Dice

I should have included Sweet Lew but it would be last on any list. I honestly had no idea where to rank Hitchhiker or Education. I kind of copped out.

Talking of binaural -
This is pretty cool. If you have 10 minutes, go here http://t.co/N8Z3TEcvVF
If you have longer go here - full 360 HD version and if you watch on a laptop you can control the camera with head movement -
