Best Pearl Jam live songs

beyndtstng

Ok here is the situation for me. I will be driving my mom from California all the way to Kansas (for those of you who don't know its that rectangular state in the middle of the country ) which is about a 2000 mile trip. I have myself one of those iPod shuffles (yea I know a noob iPod but I'm broke lol) and frankly I just can't get enough of Pearl Jam especially the live versions of the songs. My favorite type of live version of any song is when the band gives the crowd the chance to sing the song on their own. For this reason my favorite song ever is Black from the Benaroya performance, gives me chills everytime I hear it.

I'm sure this has been asked before but I since I'm stuck on dial-up out here in California its difficult to even use the search feature in the forums (dial up gives me nightmares). I was wondering if all you Pearl Jam experts could tell me which live performance of the following songs fits the criteria above (crowd sings etc). If it is still a great version and the crowd does not sing I would love to hear it too. Here are the songs I am looking for, feel free to add one if its not listed here. I am aware of the Live of Two Legs album (actually own it) but I have found some of the best versions of these songs are from bootlegs from the band like Black from Benaroya. I am leaving Thursday morning so I have a couple of days, I will cross my fingers you guys see this message. Thanks for your time. If you could tell me the concert and the year it was performed that would be perfect.

Personally, I'm not a big fan of getting the crowd to sing a verse/chorus here and there. Just strikes of laziness to me.

I paid to see and hear the band play, not a room full of drunken douches scream out of tune... /rant

I think as PEARL JAM fans we should be proud to sing along during songs like the ones listed in this thread and we should also be aware of the ones not to sing along with the ones we just listen too ie. Man of the Hour, Nothing as it seems and others like that lets start the thread of songs not to sing along too at a show something we can all agree on! I wish, I remember Kitchener 2005, Eddie says something to the effect of, <after awesome sing a long> Thats what really scares people is a room full of people doing something so positive together, shows a greater power is at work here tonight. Thats not what he really said but it was something special like that, get the bootleg kitchner 09/11/2005 it was a good sing a long show

hey man,
The Gorge or vancouver in Sept 2005 had awesome sing alongs of Even Flow after the song broke down for a bit and then picked back up and everyone sang the chorus.
As well, the 2000 show in Vancouver had the crowd singing the whole beginning of Betterman before the song speeds up.
Hope it helps. I'd say the Van show was a bit better in 2005 for Even Flow.

My suggestion, PUT YOUR MOM ON A PLANE! Then go buy all the live versions of those songs you can possibly find. Sing to them all!

the VA Beach version from August 3rd is far better IMHO...1st show since roskilde, 1st performance of "its OK," way longer jam = better version.
