Insignificance is IMO, because they only play it once or twice a year and that is a song that could be played every show with the way it whips the crowd into a frenzy, plus it is so complicated musically because of the timing and intricacy to play and the lyrics are phenomenal, like seriously who doesn't want to see this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzobeA6cCqY
I don't know if Insignificance is underrated as much as under-played. Really hope I get this one in Moline tomorrow!
Yeah, exactly. I have seen a LOT of top ten lists that include this song... so not underrated. Underplayed. But they've been playing it more lately. I was SO happy to see it last year in Vancouver! I might have freaked out a little. )

well that is true, but I think sometimes Eddie bases his setlists off of what he thinks the fans want to hear. Here are the stats for Insignificance, by the way I fucking love No Way too! Yield is my second favorite album behind Vs http://www.livefootsteps.org/songs/?song_id=257
I've been listening to riot act recently & I have a newfound appreciation for Ghost. I know is a favorite for some people, but I am not sure if it would be considered under appreciated

Love the song, from a seminal album, great guitar sound from stone. It's hard to say what underrated is, maybe underplayed is better. I agree ghost is a real grower , and would love to hear marker in the sand or speed of sound live. Every song is part of the evolution of the band and a reflection of the conscious world at that time and pearl jam are good at tapping into this, that's why some songs have longevity , because they represent certain feelings. No way is like this IMO making a stand, but aware of the control or controllers.....yield......
It's in a weird tuning I think isn't it? I remember when yield came out I was learning guitar and I brought it in for the instructor to teach me. He couldn't figure it out completely because it was drop D but a variation somehow. Makes me wonder if that's part of the reason they don't play it much? Not that it should matter because a lot of their songs are in weird tunings and they have a crap ton of guitars off stage
Is it underrated?
It's a fucking AWESOME song!!!!! But I'm not sure it's underrated or under-appreciated. Doesn't pretty much everyone love it?
Agreed. Just underplayed.

2013: London, Brooklyn 1&2 | 2014: Detroit | 2015: New York | 2016: Ottawa / Toronto 1 / Wrigley 1
It is one of the few Pearl Jam songs that I never get bored of listening to (ironically most of those songs for me come off of Yield).
No Way has a great groove and I love the production on it for Yield. I think it falls short though live and so I can understand why they don't play it a lot. It might be a better live song for smaller venues and a higher percentage of die hards in the audience.

I have a dream of PJ doing the whole Yield album on tour. I even like Push me/pull me. There is some funky bass and guitar on that track!

I had to quote myself because my dream came true and I wasn't at the show...

Maybe it was me who thought the first part of that statement.
One of my favorites for sure.
