Riot Act was the first PJ album I ever got-it remains among my very favorites, not only because I love Thumbing and I am Mine, but because it has so many other gems on it! :thumbup:
not my favorite PJ album, but i will never forget the release date.
was in college and it was POURING like all hell in NYC, and i had like 30 minutes to drive to a tower records in between classes to pick it up. the rain caused several accidents on the road, and flat out ran out of time. no way was i making it back to campus in time.
if anybody out there is looking for a GREAT show from that tour, check out 7-1-03 d.c. (really va). there was a traffic jam, so they started off slow & kept goin'. they played why go for the 1st time since 95, 7 riot act songs (i think), some from binaural, know your rights, but they opened with can't keep..there was a k9 unit there, though. i was hoping that they would play bu$hleaguer, but that was probably the reason for the popo..it was truly an unforgettable, classic show.

If their was ever a split amongst Pearl Jam fans, it would be Riot Act fans versus NON-Riot Act fans...we would be outnumbered 9 to 1 but we would still kick some major butt!

You Are....I was thinking today that this album came out 9 years ago already. These 9 years flew by for me.
"There's a $10,000 bill in it for you."
"Oh yeah? Which president's on it?"
"Uh, all of them. They're having a party. Jimmy Carter's passed out on the couch."

No need to be void,... or save up on life... You got to spend it all.....
I will say that LBC had me sobbing at Alpine. Seriously sobbing. I've had a tough year and I just lost it during that song. A lot of PJ songs make me emotional, but I've never had a reaction like that. The lyrics, the venue, the moment just washed over me and I lost control. Ahhh....the power of PJ.

I think I should listen more Riot Act because I can't decide which one is the best, there are so many great songs like;
Save You
Ghost
Can't Keep
All Or None
Bushleaguer
Thumbing My Way
CAN'T KEEP CRAZY MARY IN MY TREE NO WAY NOT FOR YOU. ALL THOSE YESTERDAY JEREMY is ALONE, SAD with RATS & BUGS it's HARD TO IMAGINE a JEREMY a BETTER MAN.
LIFE WASTED, BLOOD on the PORCH, LAST KISS is a WISHLIST DEEP DOWN NOTHING AS IT SEEMS WHY GO COME BACK ALIVE SPIN THE BLACK CIRCLE and SMILE.

Riot Act was the first PJ album I ever got-it remains among my very favorites, not only because I love Thumbing and I am Mine, but because it has so many other gems on it! :thumbup:
easily the most underrated song not just from the album but from the band.
was in college and it was POURING like all hell in NYC, and i had like 30 minutes to drive to a tower records in between classes to pick it up. the rain caused several accidents on the road, and flat out ran out of time. no way was i making it back to campus in time.
ditched class, smoked a joint, and spun riot act
DEGENERATE FUK
This place is dead
"THERE ARE NO CLIQUES, ONLY THOSE WHO DON'T JOIN THE FUN" - Empty circa 2015
"Kfsbho&$thncds" - F Me In the Brain - circa 2015
but there is nothing better than Arc live at the EV solos shows.
If their was ever a split amongst Pearl Jam fans, it would be Riot Act fans versus NON-Riot Act fans...we would be outnumbered 9 to 1 but we would still kick some major butt!
It's a disease and they're all GREEN!

Cant keep, save you, cropduster, 1/2 full, I am mine-all great songs.
I happen to really like LBC, but I cant break the association between that song and Issac the bartendter, julie, gopher and the doc.

You're right. You are a monster! You are sick! Get help!
At least, I am not a fuck-up! A lying fuck-up!
