This song is so awesome. It's not played that much, only 38 times according to the band's website. This song is so awesome. I love it. Favorite off Binaural. It sounds awesome live. Please play this song more often Pearl Jam! Please!
Shows: 6.27.08 Hartford, CT/5.15.10 Hartford, CT/6.18.2011 Hartford, CT (EV Solo)/10.19.13 Brooklyn/10.25.13 Hartford

    Couldn't agree more. In fact, more Binaural should be played period.

    Maybe they'll shock us sometime and play that whole album straight through during one of their shows.

    Completely agree. The best song off Binaural IMO and severely underrated. Live is so much better than the studio.

    Couldn't agree more, amazing album, probably the best album front to back except for maybe vs., and all the songs sound amazing live, I always liked rival but now I like it a billion times more since I heard it live the 1st night of the spectrum, SOH is definatly very underated as is of the girl, soon forget, rival, EVACUATION especialy, it seems like a ton of you hate it, and thin air... they should definatly play this album way more live!

    Love This Song, however, the few videos i've seen on youtube and the bena- version although very kewl don't seem to hold up to the Studio version, i think this might just be the the ONE SONG the PJ doesn't elevate when played live. How ever maybe thats just because they haven't played it live enough to learn how to elevate it. maybe? ofcourse having said this, i would love to see them play it live the next show i catch. :P

    Def. agree with the better live than on the album.
