    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!

    Rival.

    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 :)

    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!

    Rival...one more reason why Boston 2010 is one of my favorite shows.

    Rival needs to be played in Cincy!
    One man stands alone awaiting
    for her to come home
    eyes upon the horizon
    in the dark before the
    darkness leaves the dawn

    What's the deal with this tune? IT needs to get played at least once a tour. Although, they have a lot of songs that get played only once a tour.

    Yeah, I would say odds are it's just been forgotten lately. BUT LET'S FUCKING CHANGE THAT! PLAY RIVAL!!!

    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

    And also in Detroit, please! This songs needs to be unearthed. It is so good. And still valid as a message...
    Please, Pearl Jam, consider a Benaroya Hall vinyl reissue! http://community.pearljam.com/discussion/148993/please-pearl-jam-consider-a-vinyl-benaroya-hall-re-issue

    Just a reminder that Rival is awesome, I've heard it 3 times in the last 24 hrs and it just gets better. Gotta say love Eds 'woohoo', especially live.

    P.S. Feel free to play it in Denver :)
