Best Solo/Jam Tournament: Alive is your winner!

[stip]

What is pearl jam's best solo? A question sages and scholars have debated since time immemorial. A question that cuts right to the heart of the human experience. A mystery second only perhaps, to the identity of pearl jam's best drummer. A question we are finally about to answer.

Standard single elimination tournament rules. The passage under consideration within each song is included in the title. We are using a rough and loose definition of solo (or jam).

Voters are strongly encouraged to listen before voting.

I'm in meetings all day. I should have voted last night.

It's kind of amazing how much more stacked the first half of round 2 is compared to the second half.

[stip]

I will be busy tomorrow morning so I'm ending this round now.

Dammit! I just opened the thread to vote! I would've voted for Habit

[PHATJ]

Fuck. I really wanted Habit to move on. I'm more bummed by it losing here than any song during MM.

[chewm]

That solo is alright, but thank god it lost.

[stip]

This is open through Sunday night unless we are averaging less than 10 votes per match, in which case open until Monday
