    I dig the club, the song not that much, I'm ok with the new version, I didn't bitch about being in the album, of course I would have prefer another song, but I'm ok with this one, though I prefer/love the ukulele version better...
    ... I am not in the business of being liked anymore ...

    Not fair to use this since those 5 plus Of He Goes make up the greatest side to any album in recorded music history 8-)

    But now that it has been mentioned, that 5 song run on Lightning Bolt is pretty darn amazing.

    I didn't listen to the stream before the physical copy came out, yet I read all the hate, so I was expecting something bad. I was very pleasantly surprised when I finally heard it though. I really like the little offbeat kick drum Matt puts in there, gives it a different feel than the uke version. Nice breezy, catchy little ditty.

    They should release as a single. Great single for the holidays too. Love Mike's guitar work on it.

    I like both versions but I do prefer Ed's version better. I guess it's because he's singing about being alone and I feel it suits the song better to have him perform it alone.

    Was I the only member of the club there last night? At least in the pit it seemed, as I seemed to be the only one who got really excited when I knew it was coming!

    It's not often you get to here a debut song, so I enjoyed every second!

    Thank you Ed and the guys for that special gift!

    I'm definitely in this club! I think it's a really great, lovely little song. I also think it'd make a great single which I could see being as popular with the non fans as Last Kiss became.
    All my favourite singers have stolen all of my best lines.

    This was such a pleasure to hear live last night in San Diego. Count me in!

    Not a big fan of the song to be honest, it's taking time to grow on me, however I think that's mainly due to the fact I wasn't a big fan of it on ukulele songs either.

    I really don't like it, I mean I am not happy this is on the record...period.
    It would be much better as a B side single

    I think I may have posted on here before, but I am so hoping to hear "Sleeping by Myself" in Seattle! I love this version every bit as much as the uke version.

    Couldn't think of a better way to celebrate my 2,000 post, then posting about this song!! :D

    Happy as hell to get it on Thursday...even happier to hear My Father's Son on Sunday...but my two teensy weensy disappointments were that I heard SBM again, but no Let The Records Play...and I saw Why Go twice (LOVE IT), but no Deep? So in LA they played Ten and LB in their entirety...minus Deep and LTRP.

    I guess I have to have something to root for in the future, so it's not entirely bad news!

    THANK YOU PEARL JAM!!!

    I'm finally ready to join your little club, if you'll have me. I admit that I really did not get the full band version on LB initially. I never skip it, I just prefer the sad and lonely feel that the single uke gives to the hopelessness of the lyrics. However just watched the YouTube of the San Diego performance and I'm now a convert. I love it! The roughness of the live performance is what I needed for this song. Hope I get to see it some day!

    It was weird for me, it was so instant. Already knowing it from the UKE record I "knew it" but the addition of the full band just adds that certain something to proceedings.

    I think people might think I'm fronting a bit here but I am genuinely putting the record on at sleeping by myself and letting it play to the end a hundred times more than the full album.
    Nothing wrong with the other 9 songs, just a bit addicted right now.

    You are so welcome btw :D
