It's kind of cool in theory--it's almost Dylanesque the way he takes liberties with the phrasing. But he just doesn't have the chops to execute it.Strat wrote:Spot on. I got annoyed with Thin Air. He is dragging syllables out to the point of being out of time.

I'm really enjoying this but I have to say I Won't Back Down is pretty terrible. It's like he has no idea how the song even goes and is accentuating the wrong words. Compare this version to Vancouver 03 and it's pretty sad.

I wouldn't call the Green Habit collection a boot. You should really check it out

Re: Pearl Jam - Cinderellas 2013 (a compilation)
Just checked out the GH comp tracklist... The version of I Won't Back Down there is from 2003... not the one I mentioned. As to the comp, itself... It looks WAY too disjointed, and spans too wide a margin of time for my liking... I have a lot of those concerts in their entirety, which is my preferred method of listening.
The version I mentioned from 1994 opened the show. Listened to the show the other night as part of my 20 year nostalgia trip... The Easter show from '94 is on the horizon for me... Always thought of it as THE peak live moment for the band, if I had to choose only one.

Re: Pearl Jam - Cinderellas 2013 (a compilation)
awesome, thanks.
looking at the tracklist info- i assume if the song was played more than once this tour (speed of sound, after hours, can't keep, etc.) you simply selected the best performance and the "days since" responds to the first play of the tour? i like that bit of info added. i don't there will be any song that beats let me sleep's 7006 days between outings.

Re: Pearl Jam - Cinderellas 2013 (a compilation)
Got it in one Andy - though it was tempting to just use the first play of those multiple-play tracks, I wanted the comp to sound as good as it could so I went for the best performance in each case.
Looking at pjdb.net's chart, the only thing that could beat Let Me Sleep's record is if they played Just A Girl or Angel (both very unlikely).
Fun fact: Get Right is the only 'proper' album track that hasn't been played at least once in the last ten years.

Stats like that (Get Right) really make me feel old.

I've never heard Eddie play "I Won't Back Down" correctly. He always bullshits his way through it.

Re: Pearl Jam - Cinderellas 2013 (a compilation)
You're right, there's very few versions where Ed gets it right. The one from 1994 was good, but I don't like when he uses an electric guitar. I think the best version is from the Gorge 2006, night 2. He played it with an acoustic and got the majority of the words right.Wendy Carlos's Twin wrote:I've never heard Eddie play "I Won't Back Down" correctly. He always bullshits his way through it.

Love the '94 version... just Ed and his electric... started the show... then the whole band kicked into Go.LooseGroove927 wrote:You're right, there's very few versions where Ed gets it right.

Re: Pearl Jam - Cinderellas 2013 (a compilation)
I listened to that version last night on your recommendation. It's really good but I still think Vancouver 03 is better. It's in my top 5 alltime Ed solo performances, he's never sounded better.Iholdthepain wrote:Love the '94 version... just Ed and his electric... started the show... then the whole band kicked into Go.LooseGroove927 wrote:You're right, there's very few versions where Ed gets it right.
