I still love this song, can't believe they haven't played it live since 1998. Now that 'Leash' is done with I hope they bring this one out.

    I can honestly say I don't care too much for this song. I couldn't believe this was the song they chose to release from No Code. Worst song on that album in my opinion.

    They have a knack for releasing lame songs as singles. It's no surprise that they haven't had a bonafide "hit" since 1994. "WWS" is the exception, although "Unemployable" could have been a HUGE hit if they knew what they were doing.

    I hate slagging any piece of art off, but Who you Are was / is an awfully awful song. Its right up there with Sweet Lew and Nothings As It Seems for me as the 3 worst PJ songs. THe only bad 3 Pj songs.

    ?????? This is why I don't like other peoples opinions. They don't make any sense at all. Have you listened to that song? Or did you hear it on the radio when it came out and since then you just skip over it? Give it repeated listens until it is your favorite song of all time!!

    'Who You Are' has great lyrics. I remember when I saw them play it live in Toronto 98 and it sounded perfect. Would really like for them to bring it back out.

    I like "Who You Are", listen to the 1996 show from Germany, the show that was broadcasted on the radio. I think Stone really shines on this song, but this is more of a Jack Irons song and since he departed, I don't think it will get much play time.

    Who you are is one of my ALL TIME favourites...I have been dying to hear it for years. I was hoping they'd bust it out on the last tour but no dice. I think this is the perfect tour to resurrect it!!!

    I cant believe all of the dissing of WHO YOU ARE.

    It is my favorite song of all time. I dont understand how people dont like it.

    Im praying to see this song live one day

    I love the song, but I don't care if they don't play it. It'd be nice though.

    I have listened to it repeatedly, I do know all the words, and I've heard it Live (Randall's Island '96). It's not terrible, I just like most other PJ songs better than this one. Everyone's entitled to their opinion, at least I'm being honest.

    Pearl Jam has one of the most dedicated following of fans. Plays huge Arenas 2 nights in a row. Like 20 million records sold.

    Yeah, they don't know what they are doing.
