matches like this make me weep for having to vote against a stellar performance of Red Mosquito.
I was at that God's Dice show, but overall that stand of shows rank towards the bottom of my pearl jam experiences (other than night 3 - I don't recall which night this one was). Very solid performance of a song I don't care for that elevates it slightly, but not enough that I'd come back to it.
I also could care less about In the Moonlight, but at least that performance feels like an event, given the song's rarity and the guest. It gets my vote

It might be an unpopular opinion but Gods Dice has really grown on me over the years and that’s a rocking performance.

My love for Binaural exploded when I realized that I had grown to appreciate and even love some of the “lesser” songs on the album. Gods Dice was a part of that revelation.

Don't like either of these, but that performance of GD is great.

I love God's Dice, but this is the definitive performance of In the Moonlight. Josh Homme is perfect for that part.

Why? I love the studio version, but I’m glad GD is winning here.

Doesn't suit Ed or the band in my opinion.

This version of "In the Moonlight" is probably my favorite live PJ performance of the last ten years. A low bar, some might say, but I don't mean it as faint praise -- it's a great performance of one of my absolute favorite songs. I can't muster the excitement for a whole tournament of live PJ, but I can muster the excitement to back this performance till it loses (which will probably be too soon).
