    I've seen it twice:

    In Albany it was a bit sluggish, and seemed to just chug along. I thought it kind of fell flat.

    In Boston it had a lot more energy to it. I'm not sure how to explain that, since it was sung largely the same, but it had more "bounce" to it. The chorus hit a bit harder, Mike's guitar was stronger at the end, it was just better.
    It is time to admit that we used to rock like hurricanes. It is time to run for the hills and go round and round. It is time for us to shout at the devil. We've got the right to choose it, there ain't no way we'll lose it, and we're not gonna take it anymore.

    it's good live. I was surprised that only Stone and Mike play guitar on this song though. I swear I'm hearing 3 guitars on the album.

    yeah i know. But in the history of Pearl Jam i dont' remember Mike or Stone ever really dubbing duel guitar tracks. If a third is needed, Ed usually plays.
