Don't you know, it's impossible to do anything as good in your second year as you did in your first year as a band?

The Mamasan cassette, obviously.

It was all downhill from there.

Which makes the Wishlist username deliciously ironic.

I heard there is a tape somewhere of the first Stone-Mike jam session (the where apparently Mike asked him about Jeff and Stone replied "Fuck that guy,"). If this is true, there's a good chance this the best thing they've ever done.

Not even longevity in giving candid interviews?

Ah yes, the tape from the Cavern Club back in '61.

If you think of late MLB as early PJ, then the worst MLB shows ever become the best PJ shows ever.

If you play the earliest Green River demos and the earliest Bad Radio demos at the same exact time, I heard it's the best thing Pearl Jam has ever done.

March 10, 1963.

Or roughly nine months prior.
