Botched Live Songs

edited August 2013 in The Porch
I am interested to know if anyone knows of any performances of songs that Pearl Jam has botched up. I was listening to the Fargo(June 15, 2003) boot and they botched up In My Tree pretty good but I loved the improv and the human aspect of not being perfect all the time.

I also enjoyed Don't Cry No Tears f-up at the Bridge School Benefit this year, although I don't think the language was required! :lol:

Does anyone know of any other performances of songs that were less than perfect?

    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    Nothing As It Seems -Zurich 00.Two Feet Thick had this to say about it...Stone’s guitar is out of tune at the start of ‘NAIS’ which prompts the song to stop before Ed sings “All this funny tuning”, says Stone, smiling, “when we play it next time it will be so much better.” True to his word, Ed introduces ‘NAIS’ after ‘Dissident’ saying “A song you might have heard before, like four minutes ago.”

    The portion leading up to Satan's Bed on this boot is awesome!

    At that point they hadn't played the song for 3 years. The next time they played it 6/26 it's not as bad but it's still fucked up. What's an album track for when we can make up our own words on the spot? :) It's still a great song.

    I know Alone and Last Kiss, but don't recall where/when. I think Alone was at MSG or in Jersey.

    Pretty much every version of Immortality from the 2000 bootleg set. One of my faves and it just gets butchered the whole tour.

    Marker In The Sand - 6/25/08 - Madison Square Garden: Mike was playing the song in the wrong key... had to restart. What was even funnier about it was, before the restart, Mike mentioned how he wrote the song and still forgot how to play it... LOL!

    Crazy Mary - 10/3/05 - Philadelphia, PA: some strange techincal problem gave Ed a jolt and freaked him out in the middle of the song... they almost abandoned it, but decided to finish it afterall.

    Lyrics wise, Cincinnati 2000, Evenflow Ed switched up a few lines and then went with, "I fucked up the words already so.." as the last line in the 2nd? verse if I remember.

    I enjoy all the changes of lyrics and pace and sound live. I think it creates part of the sharing experience between the band and the crowd.

    Philly '09 - Come Back. Ed says they will try it again later that night but they never do.

    VA Beach '08 - Insignificance. Ed comments that he fucked up his part of the guitar intro to it.

    During Untitled one time Ed says "Got some car", laughs, and then corrects it with "got a car."
    1st and only show so far:
