Do any songs place you in a certain setting?

LBC reminds me of watching everyone file into the Garden, and get ready to watch the show. Don't know why, I can imagine it playing in my head while watching people walk into the arena.

    Absolutely, all through my life. :)
    "I'd rather be with an animal." "Those that can be trusted can change their mind." "The in between is mine." "If I don't lose control, explore and not explode, a preternatural other plane with the power to maintain." "Yeh this is living." "Life is what you make it."

    I love it when you associate a song with a memory. I believe LBC plays during the opening credits to Live at the Garden, but I can't remember if it shows people walking into the arena. Maybe it unconsciously stuck in your head.

    For me, whenever I hear Not For You I think of a grocery store that I worked at in high school. The day after Vitalogy came out, a couple of us were talking about the album at work and we thought that was the best song on the album and how great/ironic it would be if we could convince the manager to put it on the song list that the store played over and over again.

    I don't know why, but when I listen to Light Years, it always makes me think of this lady I know, were just driving in her car......I like that! :)
    It is weird how certain songs can do that to you. (same with smells I find!)

    "All Those Yesterdays" was blaring in my car as I was leaving college for the last time and embarking into the real world. Whenever I hear it I can vividly remember driving my beat up GMC Jimmy out of West Lafayette, packed full of crap with the windows down, a big smile on my face, and never looking back.

    So I guess my answers is "yes". ;)

    Indifference puts me in a certain place. It's like a safe cover of darkness comes over me and I can just be there without anyone or anything coming into my sphere of divine darkness.

    A child's rhyme stuck in my head...
    It said "Life is nothing but a dream."
    I've spent so many years in question
    To find I'd known this all along.

    Corduroy- calgary 05...first time seeing the Guys after a very anxious 14 year wait...the line "the waiting drove me mad, your finally here and i'm a mess" and that made me into a mess. 27 years old and crying like a little school girl due to the joy of seeing Pearl Jam. Oceans has the same effect on me too now after that night

    Whenever I hear Master/Slave, it takes me back to the start of each show I saw in 2006. Just standing out in the crowd with that overwhelming feeling of anticipation. Love it.

    Pearl Jam Pearl Jam reminds me of the summer of 06, Avocado came out on my birthday and i had just finished important exams and i was off to europe to see pearl jam and alice in chains @ download festival.

    Machina by the pumpkins reminds me of sitting on the bus years ago at school.

    Tremor Christ reminds me of buying Vitalogy on Vinyl a week before the cd release. On the same trip to the store I bought some insense and some pot from a local mall rat, went home dusted off my ma's old record player and listened to that song over and over and over while playing SEGA genisis.

    I was in Europe for a trip during college when Binaural was released. I was so excited that I got to buy it in Florence as an import AND that it was released a day earlier than in the US. When I hear songs from Binaural, I think of listening to it for the first time (and many more times to follow) sitting on a train going through the Alps.

    State of Love and Trust always puts me in the summer, in the car, with the windows down. One summer I just kept playing that song over and over again. So now whenever I hear the studio version I can smell/feel the summer air.
    32 shows and counting...
