re: Matt... evenslow / trag... did you see my post on pg. 1? Curious to see if y'all hate all Jack songs with Matt or just like recently?

The "tribal" songs (IMT, WYA, GTF) have sucked since the moment Matt joined. Most of the other ones -- the straightforward rockers -- were awesome for Matt's first several years.

Yeah this.

I've mentioned this before, but him not letting the cymbals ring during the "echoes" part in Faithfull, rather playing a closed highhat, is a shame. It really takes away from the moment for me and makes me not like the song as much as I should live.

Given to Fly definitely

these are still both great live. Their speed transforms them, but the end result is still a regular concert highlight.

I think Corduroy is ok. Given to Fly the speed takes away from the song, but more than that is the fact Eddie can't make his voice soar anymore and it really takes away from a song that's best part is hearing Eddie's voice soar.

Go listen to a version of corduroy from the last 5-10 years, and then go listen to the one from Live on Two Legs.

Just went and listened to this and it IS pretty good, but that's about the ceiling for this song. There's something about it that's just plodding. When I've seen it in a live setting it really sucks the air out of the room. I can't quite put my finger on why because a song like Tremor Christ has got energy. I know Tremor Christ is a much better song but the pace is similar.

Maybe it has to do with the pedestrian drumming? Infallible certainly doesn't have much swing.

Weird. I disagree with most of that list.

Infallible isn't a train wreck live but man does it suck the life out of the gig.

Literally. Saw it in Brooklyn and it totally derailed the flow of the set.

Sao Paulo 2015 has a decent version. There's none of the digital interference that plagued some of the other shows from this tour, either,

Sydney '03 "Cropduster" is flawless. West Palm Beach and Tampa '00 "Evacuation" are close but slightly flawed. I've heard one or two really good versions of "Force Of Nature". So it's not as though they couldn't play those well if they actually tried.

Jesus wept.

I used to love this song. This is a fuckin train wreck. And it is actually stones fault


Ed...the hand motions...dying of cringe

It's the downtuning. So bad.

I just got caught up in a pearl jam YouTube wave. I love this band. I hate this band. But I love this band.

This is my relationship. I got dumped this week. I hate him. But I love him. But I hate him.


I'm the fucking problem.

*what a band. What brilliant music.

Wish I could surgically take out the nostalgia sometimes and be objective. It would be a different day maybe.

I think this is my favourite performance ever.

The lyrics. Matt Cameron. Unstoppable.

This is my band.

Recognise injustice

They would stand up and react


Going after those beady eyed bloodthirsty weasels.



Make me cry why don't you Dave.

I'm just over the moon I got to meet you and I'm pissed that we didn't get to hang out. I spared you that at least.

I think this sounds alright.
