I really like how at 1:54 Dave hits the china splash, mutes it, and then goes back to the high hat in less than a second, all with one hand. Matt Cameron is great, but Dave brought more to the band. His drumming was key to Vs. and Vitalogy, not to mention he is really fun to watch play. It's a real shame he and PJ couldn't get past their differences.

@outer432 I think you can't really say it's just the drummer, the whole group played a bit differently than they do now.

This is a video of the rehearsal. The performance of 'Daughter' later that night for the show was on a coupletely different awesome level. They cut the American Pie part, and went into Hey Hey My My. Eight days previous, Cobain had killed himself, and had quoted 'Hey Hey' in his suicide letter. At the end of that performance, Vedder opened his shirt to display the letter K for Kurt. Also, the lead guitar part is better during the show performance. To bad it's not available on YouTube.

I feel like Dave was rushing the groove just a bit. Cameron keeps it more open loose and relaxed

it is true that it's better to fade out than burn away at least for the famous you can be just average and when you die suddenly everyone cares about you and finds you so more appealing it's sad but true
