    Who did that song?

    Yes they did, and it's even on the same album as Love Reign O'er Me and The Real Me. That would be Quadrophenia.

    After I saw PJ play at VH1 Rock Honors, I turned to my friend and said "I would pay ANYTHING to see it if Pearl Jam would play Quad in its entirety".

    Of course, I'm One was a huge highlight for me last night. Here is a version that Ed performed with Pete Townshend in 1999 :

    I'm One is an awesome WHO song from QUADROPHENIA:


    Every year is the same
    And I feel it again,
    I'm a loser - no chance to win.
    Leaves start falling,
    Come down is calling,
    Loneliness starts sinking in.


    But I'm one.
    I am one.
    And I can see
    That this is me,
    And I will be,
    You'll all see
    I'm the one.


    Where do you get
    Those blue blue jeans?
    Faded patched secret so tight.
    Where do you get
    That walk oh so lean?
    Your shoes and your shirts
    All just right.
    But I'm one etc.


    I got a Gibson
    Without a case
    But I can't get that even tanned look on my face.
    Ill fitting clothes
    I blend in the crowd,
    Fingers so clumsy
    Voice too loud.


    But I'm one.
    I was alone and far away when I heard the band start playing!

    ...I was always a DeadHead, but when I first heard Winston Rodney, aka the Burning Spear, sing, I became a SpearHead too!
