    I love Binaural overall, but Rival is a song that I think really misses the mark on several levels. For instance, it strikes me as really weird to see Ed dancing around during this song given the content of the lyrics. The mood of the music seems to contrast starkly with the subject matter being addressed. I'm confused by this one because I feel like they nailed everything incredibly well with a song like Jeremy and then tank on a song like Rival.

    Certainly in my top 10 I hope to hear live. Love that opening riff combo between the drum intro and when the guitar first comes in. Interesting, well written lyrics too. Been listening to many live versions from 2000 here lately, so far Milan 00 has one of the best versions of Rival. Hope that link works.

    I have a Rival license plate, too....but a NY one
    One man stands alone awaiting
    for her to come home
    eyes upon the horizon
    in the dark before the
    darkness leaves the dawn

    Rival is one of my absolute favorite Pearl Jam songs. It bums me out that they don't play it really. I love the quirky bluesy riff, it reminds me of Deep and Half Full, two of my other favorites.

    I'm glad a thread got made about Rival.
    That is my favorite song on Binaural and it's one I still haven't seen live...

    Heard this gem 13 years ago in Camden.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    This is one of my favorites from Binaural. I was stoked to see it in San Diego 2000. :D
