    Only played 20 times total.

    Only played TWICE since July 3rd 2003. :shock: :shock:

    Last played, 10-27-2009 Philly, 05-17-2010 Boston.

    Please play Rival. In any city this year! Philly or Hartford would be great!!

    Ill be there with my sign :)


    My second PJ show ever was July 3rd, 2003 in Mansfield. I didn't realize how rare of a song it would become at the time, but since that show is probably the best sounding boot I can think of, I listen to Rival often. I can't get enough of it, easily a top 10 PJ song for me. I remember a few years back (I'm guessing just prior to the 2010 tour) where Matt Cameron mentioned they wanted to play more of their songs that have odd timing/off beats that require more rehearsing, specifically mentioning Rival. They didn't really follow through on that promise, playing it just the one time in Boston. The 5 boroughs on NYC have never heard the song live :D

    The fact that this song had been player only twice in ten years is beyond me.

    As a drummer this song is great.. Musically it's awesome and I would really love to see it live this year.

    Please play rival in 2013. :)

    Rival has always been the one song that i really want to hear when I go to a live show. Its brutally awesome.

    I was lucky enough to see it in Boston 2010 but im still craving more.

    No people it's being played in Baltimore, get it right! Also Getaway will debut 4th song into the set after Pendulum>Wash>Breakerfall.
  • Warms my heart to see this post today. I was walking around in the Natural History Museum in London earlier listening to Binaural and this is my 2nd favorite song behind "Insignificance."

    As a close media observer, its stunning to read 2013 media reviews of Lightning Bolt saying how crap it is, and yet waxing nostalgic for Pearl Jam's more "experimental" days on Binaural. I remember when that record came out, no one gave a FUCK in the media. Especially for how weird it was.

    Binaural sounds brilliant these days, especially a true gem like "Rival." Here's to 2013, Lightning Bolt, 23 years of PJ, and hoping for a "Rival" bust out on this tour!

    Haha yeah funny how that works isn't it? To the media's credit though Binaural took forever to grow on me, now it's by far my favorite.

    An AMAZING Rival.
    Ed starts in "This ones called Rival..."

    Plagued by some kind of intermittent electrical problem the guitar cuts in and out right before the solo...Stone just shreds right on through it.

    Fingers crossed. I'd still love to hear it live. Berlin or Stockholm would be nice, PJ :shifty: :wave:
  • A great song, awesome lyrics n the chorus, Stone is ingenious.

    Fall 2014!!! Moline preferably since I'll be there.

    I would choosed Stockholm !
  • I hope it gets played this tour. It's one of those tracks you forget about because it can get buried in the vastness of their catalogue. I had PJ songs on shuffle recently and this song came on and it was like fuck yeah!

    I still enjoy the Katowice 2000 live version when Eddie starts to say something, but is interrupted by the start of the song. I like the way he sings it, too. I love the guitar solo!

    Just listened to this from Kansas City 2000 and man did it fucking rock, they should go back to playing it that way and play it several times on the fall tour. Please pearl jam this song is awesome.

    The funny thing about this is both shows were on my concert radar but I couldn't make either work. Still have not seen Rival live as a result.

  • One of the better songs off Binaural. Weird vibe. It should have stayed at track 5 like it was on the original track listing. It deserved to b more prominent on the album. It's too far back.

    I was listening to Binaural just a few days ago and when Rival hit, I immediately remembered how freakin awesome it is!
