    I don't know why, but I never got sick of Given to Fly, when I was sometimes rolling my eyes for Betterman, Even Flow, Why Go, or Crazy Mary.

    Just an amazing song no matter how many times I hear it.

    I also have new found appreciation for Corduroy from MSGI....to feel the ground move during that song was surreal and a moment I'll never forget. I used to cringe at Corduroy....but no more!

    For me, I've really taken to Given to Fly. It used to just be there, and even a week and a half ago I was really so-so on it, but now I cannot get enough of it. I've also always been huge on Corduroy and Betterman, and after seeing the INSANE reaction for Betterman at Mansfield 1, how can you not pick that?

    BUT..I cannot overlook two favorites, Present Tense and Faithfull. Both were great to hear, and are easily up there for my favorite Pearl Jam songs.

    Mine was Light Years. Ed dedicated it to Luke and talked of the rainbow which appeared in DC after the service.

    The song was flawless.

    Oh yeah, In Hiding for Camden I as well.

    That song touches me each time, live or off Yield. The way Ed's voice builds and just explodes brings me to a different place. Good song for a pick me up.

    Fuckin' love it.

    I agree. Light Years sounded amazing. I also liked U and Rats.

    I think WMA, Who You Are, and All Night are all the best songs of the tour.

    We wanted them all so badly and they gave them to us many times. And every time they sounded amazing!

    I agree with you. These two stuck out to me all week. I can't wait to hear the boots just for these songs. And I have to say, I have a new appreciation for Rats after MSG II. I never really cared for that song but it sounded great live!

    I almost forget to mention the beautifulness that is Hard to Imagine. What a way to kick off a show that is. MSG 1 and Mansfield 1, it may have just shot up to number one as my favorite show opener. I still love Release and the rare Wash or Oceans, but if Hard to Imagine continued to open shows, I would not complain once.
