    You missed the "super loser version" Pittsburgh 03 (I think).
    "We belong together....I will see you never....it's ok, it's ok"
    I haven't heard it in many years, is that how it goes?

    Anyway, the Pitt show version of black is the greatest IMO

    its 2006 from Pittsburgh ...its number 10 on my list

    10.Pittsburgh '06
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLzGCIeU ... re=related

    and goes like this..:

    "we belong together,together..... will be apart for ever ...for ever..

    its ok,thats ok...thats ok...its ok...i love you anyway,

    its ok.....its ok.. its ok.....i love you anyway,"
    "...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
    "..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
    “..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”

    Dang, I've read through this thread before and forgot it had to have video... Thanks for such an amazing list. It's great to read a thread that's about the music and not the other stuff that's been going around.
    i understand what you saying..im all for it..to talk more for music...its the most important for me..

    but its a fans forum,different people,different minds,different interest,some talk and care more about music,some others care more for merch,others just read,even the ladies have the hots for eddie.. ;)
    all good,all wellcome..we need to respect all the others and their wishes and what they like to do..

    Dimitri,

    For me, this is not only Pearl Jam's greatest song, but quite possibly the greatest song ever written. It's weird though, if you ask me what my favorite PJ song is, I won't always say Black. What's really crazy is I will often skip it when it comes on the radio or my iPod. It's something special, I feel like if I "use" it too much the magic might wear off.

    I think an honorable mention for your list would be Atlanta 94. Ed is so effing powerful in that one. The only thing holding it back from one of the all time greats is the lack of a long solo by Mike. Regardless, you can hear Mike shredding at the end while Ed is singing: "I don't think, these people understand... We belong together, together..."

    Damn, I have goosebumps now.

    Andrew

    You speak the truth... Best song ever written. I too have to skip it sometimes because it honestly takes so much out of me. It's not like I can easily just go back to work after hearing that, ykwim? I love to put on the good headphones, close the door to the world and just bury myself in this thread. Good times. :D

    The Atlanta 94 version is unf*cking real. Definitely doesn't need video. We all know how they looked.... Mike with the back arch and head back, eddie both hands on the mic rocking back and forth and face so full of emotional anguish. I love this band (and this thread).

    Peace

    :cry: you are right, my friend. It's something we all know. It's why sometimes I have to skip it to save it for the right moment when I can feel it all out. Just let go and ride along with mike... Let eddie fix it all up in the end. Black is so healing even while it breaks me

    the solo is what makes it... just gives me chills.. That is for me still the most memorable performance, and that was the first show I went to. 13 shows later, I think it still is my favorite.

    Such great memories of it. It was my first PJ show and changed everything. Looking back in terms of the other PJ shows I've been to, it is lower on my list... but for pj that means nothing. it was still amazing of course. Shorter set but some real gems and it was freezing so that's probably why. The debut of I'm Open was awesome.

    I'm about to be 21 now, and I believe I was like 13 or 14 at that show. Me and my buddy, I'd say a full year before that show just went insane into PJ where they became my fav band... so the build up for it was huge. Before the show we each picked a completely shot in the dark song we wanted to hear the most. My buddy Dave picked I Got Shit and I picked Sleight Of Hand... They played them both. It was so surreal we completely lost our minds. After 14 shows, including all 4 Philly 09 shows, that is still the only time I've seen Sleight Of Hand.
