In this thread, show us your favorite performances of PJ songs. Your "Best of the Best". I've been listening to some classic live tracks lately, and it always makes me re-fall in love with Pearl Jam. These are a few of the songs I always come back to and they always seem to hit the spot. Long live the great PJ performances.

Release (Orpheum 1994): https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4rsBHg8nLwc

Immortality (Orpheum 1994): https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=t_uLLzra0kM

Dissident (Reading 2006): https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3hQJevDR1ZQ

I don't know about best but these have always been some of my favorites:

Light Years (Pinkpop 2000):

Black (MTV Unplugged 92):

Daughter (Jones Beach 2000):

Rearviewmirror (SNL 1994):

Corduroy (Casper, Wyoming 1995):

Daughter was so fucking good on the 2000 tour. But then again, so was everything.

Yup. That version especially always gets me going.

Nice picks Thurman!

Daughter from Jonas Beach is amazing. The tag is everything...the first time i heard that i was blown away.

Some more that came to mind....you talk about re-falling in love with these guys when you take this trip down memory lane...

Wash (Amsterdam, 1992):

Hail Hail (Letterman, 1996 - not perfect but i love this performance):

Do The Evolution (New York, 2003):

Breath (New York, 1998):

Rockin in the Free World (Australia, 1995):

DTE at the Garden is awesome just to watch Ed freak out about the stage moving.

The entire upper deck at Wrigley shook repeatedly during the fast songs and it was fucking terrifying.

We just have to get them to play Wrigley in 2019 and strategically position BO'B.

The best part of that RITFW with Grohl is that even he can't make Jack's drums not sound like shit

Surprised it hasn't been moved yet, tbh.

it's basically a "Pearl Jam Videos – Best of" thread

So with all this talk of best live performances, is there enough interest to finally do a 'Green Habit' compilation update?

I was thinking we start with reviewing the original picks and suggest any updates, before moving onto the 2005-2016 live cannon...

I would be interested in participating.

Why not just start from scratch? Almost seems like it would be more fun not to duplicate any tracks, so as not to render the original completely obsolete. Some duplication might be inevitable but there are so many live versions of most of their songs...

Why not indeed!

How about using a google spreadsheet where we can all list our nominations for discussion?

I think this time we limit the inclusion of covers to only those that have been played say 10 or more times.
