Red Mosquito

Oh, well, that is how it goes

lot of hate for the slow openers I guess here lately?

in any event, I myself as a slow opener fan - exploded when during the last Los Angeles swing (jesus was that almost 7 years ago?), one of the sports arena shows opened with pendulum release and long road in some order. And it was amazing.

I was a bigger fan of the one slow opener song rather than 3. By the end of the third song I felt like I was still waiting for the show to start.

It hangs on a D chord for a long time. It's also terrific.

One of their very best.
It's a song that only Pearl Jam could do
Eddie's vocals & lyrics are perfect

Best opener in their catalog

Top 5 on the "Pearl Jam song I've played the most" list. It still sounds as good to me as it did when it came out in 1995.

So I only heard the studio version of this for the first time the other week. It's fantastic. I get it now. Never been overly keen on the song based on the live versions. It's always just been fine.

I love this song with my whole heart

What an absolutely glorious EP...both songs are easily 5 star songs.
