"Evacuation" has two bridges that are the best part of the song.

one of my favorite moments on Riot Act is when they come out of the bridge on "Ghost" and go back into that groove right after Ed's "won't know at all.." line

I mean the whole song is a fucking FORCE but I love the bridge to Help Help.

Best bridge in the catalog award goes to Corduroy. But, I'm not sure it's the best part of the song, so maybe doesn't qualify here.
Pilate is the winner here. The biggest difference between bridge and the rest, the bridge alone makes this is a great song. Otherwise, it's average at best.

I was exaggerating a bit earlier but this was what I was talking about. Pilate is a fantastic song even before you consider the bridge.

The chorus is the weakest part.

Guys... I really don't like the bridge to Corduroy. Does that mean I'm not really a Pearl Jam fan or something?

We need to make a PJ album with all of the bridges removed, and see how boring it is

neh, just a bunch of rare stuff and rare live performances
i think there were a bunch of random songs on it that Ed would leave on people's answering machines or something.

No. Bridges was a box set bootleg. It had tons of demo's, outtakes, live stuff, and when ed and beth had some weird voicemail stuff that leaked out. I believe all the doors performacnes was on there. Gosh, i forget what else. I wonder if I could dig that thing up.
