footsteps and times of trouble are actually the same song with different words and melodies: the first was developed then with ed vedder...and it was on the first demotape he sent to stone gossard together with alive and once and these three songs were a sort of a mini concept called Mamasan...
This song was originally on the B-side of the Jeremy single (along with Yellow Ledbetter). It is part of the Mamasan Trilogy (playing Alive/Once/Footsteps together tells a story that Eddie consciously put together).
Vedder says that Footsteps is about someone "in jail".
That is about all I know...but Ive loved this song since 94.
As far as Footsteps Vs Times of Trouble, they are both the same song musically (written by Stone Gossard). You can see what Chris Cornell was able to do with it for the Temple of the Dog project....Vedder was able to come up with Footsteps from Stone's music when he was just joining the band (Eddie was new to Pearl Jam when Temple of the Dog was recording and he can of course be heard on Hunger Strike)
This was one of my favorite Bridge Concert's I ever attended, and just an absolutely beautiful song, still gives me chills, I love you Penny and Lisa two of the best women I ever dated and took to concerts around the country. BTW it was Jack.
This is the best live footage i've ever heard of this song. Thanks for posting this. That amphitheater is awesome btw, been there a few times for lollapalooza.

"Times of Trouble"?
Whats the history with this song I am not familiar with "Footsteps" only Pearl Jam's and Temple of Dog's early stuff.

its a re-lease on lost dogs, a collection of B-sides. i am not sure if this was on a record. could be a hidden track on one of their early records

@Gekokujo76 I love Eddie's scratchy voice on the recording that's on the Jeremy single. So raw, makes the song that much more powerful.
