Campfire songs

edited April 2013 in The Porch
As any "folk singer" worth their salt can tell you, the real test of a song's worth is found around a camp fire. :D It's the songs any second rate guitar picker can manage to play late at night long after the party is over.... It's the ones anybody can sing and call their own... It's Amazing Grace, It's Free Fallin', it's Careless Love, it's Knockin on Heaven's Door, it's......?

Which PJ songs will live on by the sacred fire? (where we should all be instead of sitting in front of the computer) :D

    Songs with lots of chord changes can be "jam busters". Actually, I'm not sure what PJ song could be as easy to play and sing along with as as say, Rockin in the free world...

    I honestly don't think there are many Pearl Jam song that would work well around a campfire- maybe Long Road- but I think it would be very cool if PJ did an album of original campfire songs and called the LP...

    Although not PJ... they always do a mean version of Throw Your Arms Around Me. A classic for a camp-fire!

    Indifference is an easy song to play, it was the first PJ song I learnt. Betterman and Daughter for the popularity, and relative ease to play.

    Yes! A bunch of people yelling these lyrics (or what they think are the lyrics) at the top of their lungs without a care in the world would be a great time.
