I hate this version so fucking much.

it's the worst.

were they trying to make the song easier for Matt or something?

it felt like the idea started off with, "Hey guys, everyone loves this song, let's turn it into an anthem."

Yeah, that version blows.

I acknowledged being in the mega minority with that take, but I stand by it.

The very worst thing about the rearranged In My Tree is they got Jack on stage during that year...and made him play the new version.

I admire your conviction.

Otherwise, here from 1hr 18 m:

That’s a travesty.

i'm never listening to music again

As someone who thinks No Code is their best album, and firmly on team Jack, I don't mind the re-worked IMT. Sure, the NC version and live versions in '96 and '98 with Jack are best, but I thought it was an interesting take on it. When Matt is behind the kit though, the way it was played in the 2000 tour is probably best. More recently, Matt seems to try to emulate Jack's style a bit (starting around 2009 versions I think), which I like better than the 2003 version, but not as much as the 2000 version.

Holy fuck balls, you guys... I just listened-to/watched the Moline No Code performance on YouTube for the first time. That was amazing. Insanely good. I’m kinda blown away actually. It was prime cut PJ. Vintage perfecto. I’m kinda jaw on the floor right now.

This re-paints No Code in a fresh beautiful perspective for me. It’s brand new again and feels so deeply familiar...

Pearl Jam mind blown again, 20 years later.

That performance is exactly why Pearl Jam is one of the greatest bands ever.

I think I just busted everywhere. This is mildly embarrassing.

I'm with you, it's pretty awesome. The band just nails In My Tree these days; it sounds glorious.

In My Tree blew me away. It’s spectacular.

Its kind weird to think that they can write a punk number but they lost the interest to do another song like In My Tree or Who You Are.

Jack Irons.

NEWSPAPERS-SAH MEANTENUFF TA-MEEEEEEE YEA YEAH

When played at low volume, the sped up "Smile" in the Moline video on Youtube sounds just like Steve Miller's "The Joker."
