Just wanted to put some love out there for Santa Cruz. If there was one request this would be it. May be my favorite PJ song yet and this is coming from an old timer. Non stop on the vinyl!

P.S. Much appreciation to Dave(Elwayvedder) for all of his wisdom and insight.

    Lovethis song. The reference to Neil Young is awesome, as my boyfriend and I always request Harvest Moon at weddings. . . . great song. . . reminds me of my "California Cousin" who was in Santa Cruz every week in her 20's. So catchy it could be a radio song, but much happier that no one knows it except true Pearl Jam fans! :)

    Love the reference to the soggy NW. Lived in Santa Cruz for a few years in the 80s. Actually met my wife there. Hope they play it in Portland.

    i love it too but theres one line that makes me cringe a lil. about "feeling 17 again" it just sounds a lil awkward in the lyrical structure and kind of like lazy songwriting. still love it tho.

    Santa Cruz is an awesome feel good song. If you are sad, just listen to it, you'll feel a bit better :)
