It's so incredible that PJ's studio albums consistently serve as mere previews of what is to come when this band performs the same music live. This entire show is a prime example of that - pretty much every song completely eclipses the studio version, in terms of raw energy, drive and emotion. And that is not at all unusual. Bottom line - when it comes to Pearl Jam, if you haven't heard the song in a live performance, you haven't heard the song. You've only seen the coming attractions.
usa, only been to two shows, plan on as many as possible, been to many other concerts though, i know where slovakia is, i bet that prague show was awesome, i watch it on immagine in cornice often
yeah, that is the second one i missed. first one we have waited for 2 hours, cause the band got stuck on austrian border. but they showed up anyway and palyed the show. great, so it was.what else have u been to?
Some things never change. Over a decade and a half later, Pearl Jam is still the best band in the world. Any new group out today just doesn't come close.
When I saw PJ live in 2006, it was my first time seeing them and Eddied opened the set with this song. Totally changed my life. I love PJ so much, this song sums it up!!!
after a horrible day, I found this video you posted....You made my day ......thank you so much for posting this video.....it's my favorite pearl jam's song
Thanks for agreeing, the song is purely beautiful. "I will be what I could be, once I get out of this town." Awesome, so many meanings behind this song for me.
the riff sounds too much like I Got Shit..I don't like this one because it sounds like a rehash of older songs

@Yeppr You're free to your opinion, but this doesn't recall I Got Shit even remotely to me.

I don't know how PJ always make me feel happy. It's not like all their songs are about happy topics. (?)

How many other bands actually sound better live than they do on their albums? Long Live Pearl Jam. They did things their way.

It never existed in the first place. There is no "American" Dream. It is a shared dream for all people, everywhere.
