Wash (Amsterdam 1992-02-12) vs. Leash (Las Vegas 1993-11-30)

Oh very hard one...ill go with Leash, mainly because those 93 versions were fucking rad and i love the song.

I fucking love Leash. That version of Wash is really good too, but this is an easy vote for Leash for me.

This is fucking tough.

Go with Leash. You won’t regret it.

Leash is subpar by early Pearl Jam standards. Wash easily here.

I agree with this. However, I think that rumbling "aw, hell yeah" that Eddie adds after the "might kill us both tomorrow" line in live versions of "Wash" is one of the most cringey Pearl Jam things of all-time. Song vs. song I'd pick "Wash" in a heartbeat, but I'm not sure...

This is why I'm not actually listening to the performances.

I admire this approach. But this one's burned in my brain, unfortunately.

I thought the whole point of this is to pick the definitive live performance regardless of the song.

that is the intent

I'm never gonna like Wash...







maybe Speed Wash

Yeah, so?
