In answer to the video's question: no, I don't think it's remotely shocking.

Mike knowingly quotes some of the same riffs but it's hardly a "rip off", Alive is very clearly its own thing.

Wow I love Mike playing here, but I don't think he does anything to make it his own. It it may be that he being a fan of Kiss is pulling inspiration from that and never heard the doors variation[/b], and because he is or should I say was a real blues inspired player came up with something that is closer to the original.

I would bet my paycheck that Mike heard Five To One prior to recording Alive.

It's more of a tribute than a steal. The kind of thing music was built on.

Anyway, it's easily several steps below George Harrison listening to James Taylor audition for Apple in 1968 by playing a song called Something in the Way She Moves and then running home to write....which itself is not all that offensive a lift.

Oh, definitely.

I agree with spenno here:

Good one

Got some

Thanks Stip.

Yup, Got Some is a good one, too.

Yes, it sure does and I like the newer live version Ed did during the recent tour with the hallelujah chants

This was my first thought on the subject.

this was brought up (incorrectly) in the bridge thread, but:

help help

that baby just explodes at the end

Nah, that belong in the bridge thread.

Love the drum fills in the outro on the studio version - I've never heard a live version that comes close to replicating it, it's always so unsatisfying in comparison.

So are there going to be more threads in this series?

Pearl Jam songs where the best part is the intro
Pearl Jam songs where the best part is the verse
Pearl Jam songs where the best part is the chorus
Pearl Jam songs where all the parts are of equal quality
Pearl Jam songs with no good parts
Pearl Jam songs with no parts at all
Pearl Jam songs made from spare parts
Pearl Jam songs made from body parts
Partial Pearl Jam songs
Pearl Jam songs that use the word "part" in the title

pearl jam songs where the moment immediately prior to the chorus is the best part:

Sleight of hand.

While I'm not a fan of the fact that they could not swear, I've always loved the Letterman version:

Maybe if Matt slowed down, he could get those in.

Even in the Letterman performance...

You're going too fast matt! Matt! Matt! SLOW DOWN

That's because the best part of that song (and possibly the band's whole recording career) is the BRIDGE.
