What track on Self Titled is Given To Fly again? Does it come after Big Wave? Oh nevermind, there isn't a track on ST that comes even remotely close to being as transcendent as that song was .

well isn't that true about most of their albums?

Poor guy was just trying to enjoy the show.

Have we ever identified the song in which this gentleman is rocking to?

That'd be cool. I miss that guy.

Given to Fly was one of the most powerful tracks up to that point. I remember when it was released. Thanksgiving time 1997. I just got my drivers license and Iit came on while I was cruising around. last night's post from me was a bit messy, granted i had a good sixer in me BUT that does not detract my statement. S/T is one offer the deepest albums the boys have done. Only problem with it, is that its on the political side and over produced. It trumps its predecessor beyond words. I was around for the PJ fame game. S/T is one bad ass album from top to bottom that could have been released in 1996!

From track 1-4 it doesn't let up track 5 slows down to a YIELD-ISH note. Track 6 is one of the best album ballads in years. Track 7, AMAZING track
Track 8 is filler. ..9 strong and uplifting. 10 filler. Then you have IMO the best 3track album closers they have ever done. COME BACK is ear candy and Inside Job is a type of PJ we never heard before.

ALBUM FKN ROCKS

I hated GTF for ages. I thought it sounded like U2.

Probably the best initial album single since the first big 3 albums

You have some crazy opinions, but this place is diverse so.

My first memory of Given To Fly is how much my Dad liked it. I was just getting into Pearl Jam around 99-00 and he was already what you may call a 'casual' fan, he knew the Ten-Vitalogy stuff but also knew a lot of Yield. To this day Given to Fly and Do the Evolution are probably his two favorite Pearl Jam tracks. I remember after I became a hardcore, he'd play Given to Fly in his car all the time and today the studio version reminds me of driving around with my Dad back then sometimes.

I wish I were him.

Isn't he just saying Given To Fly was better than Who You Are?

Maybe. I don't keep track of what they release as singles (what are the others?).
