While I never really liked the song after listening to this version from 6/25/08, I have a new outlook on this song. The live version is AWESOME. Just thought I would share, and I have never actually seen this in person. Here's to hoping I do next tour!

    I have been a fan since Evenflow got heavy air play on MTV that first summer...oh so long ago
    I have had two Ten cassettes and at least 4 CD's replacing them over the years and VS is just about the same - I have always always like WMA and I got see Pearl Jam for the first time at the FIRST concert (of any size) I was ever at Bonnaroo in 08 - I was pushed way back when the started that jam, it was...collossal
    check out the Bonnaroo version

    I had wanted to hear WMA and Who You Are since my first show in '98 (long before I knew they weren't played all that often). To get to hear them at Bonnaroo, 10 years and 15 shows later, at pretty much my favorite place in the world, was transcendent for me.

    always loved the song... it's one of those that kind of slips past on the first few listens to Vs... but thennnn... just grows and grows... at leat that's my opinion if i remember back to the dim and distant past... ;)

    i'd given up hope on hearing it live so to see/hear it at MSG in 2008 was fantastic, but i have to say that i'm not too keen on the whole backing singers thing, so for me the Bonnaroo (damn, no spelling of that looks right to me!) version is the best...

    ...apart from Atlanta 1994 of course :roll:
    Oh yeah? Well, I've had about enough of morons and halfwits, dolts, dunces, dullards and dumbbells - and you chowderhead yokel, you blithering hayseed, you - you've had enough of me?

    That MSG version is incredible, also real fun to play on acoustic guitar!! But I always was a WMA fan :)

    Best 2008 version is Columbia,SC ( more aggressive, and slightly faster paced than the other 2008 versions.) and with no back vocals.

    If you have not ever heard the Pensacola 94 version it is not just a "daugter tag" it kicks in at full strength on the chorus with full drum beat and all. To me much better than Atlanta 94.
