I got OTG and Rival at my first, In My Tree at my second the following night.

awwwwf a girl.

I hate modern eddie's singing, why does he make those sounds? He never used to

Listened to this again today: if any song ever called for less McCready, it’s this one.

I love Mccready on this. He’s got a “Can you hear me Knockin” vibe going.

Stone’s playing on Of the Girl reminds me of Cckmp by Steve Earle.


Top 3 Pearl Jam song.

I think I only heard this one live once or twice. Definitely to open JB2 in 2000 and I think it was in the pre-set at Mansfield 3 in 2003. Always loved this song. The exact right vibe for a Pearl Jam song.

One of my favorite Pearl Jam songs. It sounds like Stone was influenced by Nick Drake’s masterpiece Three Hours. I hope he was.

really? i wish they extended the intro and just let mike loose to pretend he's steve ray vaughn or whoever.

This song could go on forever. Great vibe, longing and lingering. The instrumental version on PJ20 is as great.

In fact, anyone knows of a three hours version of this ?

This is probably the most frequently played song I have never heard live. I had no money to see shows back in 2000/2003 so if it wasn't played at the local DC show, I missed it.

Sounds good on the vinyl with a good set of open back headphones. Great sense of space and a showcase of what they were shooting for with the Binaural recording approach. The lead sounds like it is coming from another room.

We should be so lucky.

Maybe if you loop it right digitally, you can create a really long version.

just slow it down to like 20 bpm

One of the best-produced songs in their entire catalogue.

Love Mike's tone. Actually, everybody's tone on this is perfect.

First time I've ever said this. Of the Girl is better than Sleight of Hand.

Of the Girl is one of 4 acceptable openers for the 2 shows I'll be at in November.

a bit late but thanks for this.

agreed. i love both songs and have felt the same- that they are of the same type of cloth. nice to see someone else mention this.

i do not understand spenno's preference for 'less mccready' on this, however.

this is the song I thought of when I first heard "Comes Then Goes", and I knew then that the band was back in business
