Pearl Jam - Light Years - Pinkpop 2000

Ed dedicates 'Light Years' to Diane Muus from Sony Music. (She died in 1997 at an age of 33 and knew the band very well.) "So that was about a friend who is fucking up and there is nothing you can do about it! And you just watch'em go down down down. And then, other times you have got friends that don't fuck up at all and are great people. And then you just lose them for some reason. They are off the planet and you never had a chance to say goodbye. I only mention this because there was a person we used to know here and that was Diane and ah, we never got a chance to say goodbye. This is goodbye!"

Played at a good friends funeral, this is absolutely gold to me. Painful to listen to as his brother picked it because they listened to it as kids but it still makes me think of the good times. He never even reached 30 yrs. RIP

@Tube23x Hey dude, actually I've been listening more and more to this album for the last weeks and yeah, it's getting better and better... I mean, I still prefer most of the other albums over this one but now I could say Riot Act is my least favorite of all. I just can't get into "Evacuaton"

[Tube23x]

@LockeThomasStaley ah what!!!??? Omg, Binaural rocks! Cover to Cover... the hard edge plain hard rock end to end with amazing lyrics throughout the album! Breakherfall, Evacuation, Gods Dice, Light Years, Insignifigance, Grievance, Slight of Hand! Omg all gems! Dude, may I suggest listening to Binaural with headphones on... it was specifically recorded for that actually... it was a unique recording process... they recorded all the instruments in a open room with lots of echoe.

People ask why the live versions and studio versions sound the same, when in fact they record their songs as if they were playing live. Thats what i love about this band. Thumbs up if you agree

[monkey59450]

the chorus alone cuts deep which is some ways quite unusual for pearl jam its usually the versus that are clever/witty and the chorus's catchy not saying the chorus to light years isn't catchy. just saying ;o)
