Wrong. Gone is the worst song on the album by far. The studio version is so, so bad. It's not much better live, but that acoustic guitar in the intro is terrible. I think they rushed it so that it would make the cut for the record.

I judge songs on how they are live and gone is one of the worst. Total momentum killer.

I'm pretty dumbfounded that so many people say that the whole album is one of their least (if not complete least) favorite PJ albums. I also cannot fathom the dislike for Big Wave. That is a bad ass rock and roll song. I've always been drawn to the loud and fast rockers. In my opinion the Avocado album is a killer rock and roll record. There is little to no experimentation or weirdness but rather it seems like they jsut went in the studio and said "Fuck it! Let's rock!"
Oh, one last thing, anybody who doesn't like Inside Job needs to have their music fan credentials reexamined. That song is EPIC! It is easily one of my favorite PJ songs to see performed live.

porch is epic. go is epic. corduroy is epic. inside job is a bore live. ever look around and watch the crowd during this song? yeah about 95% of the crowd is bored as hell. sorry but this song never translated well live.
Great record. Comatose is a beast (and I LOVE Ed's vocals on it!). WWS, Life Wasted, Severed Hand all great PJ songs. Inside Job musically is a masterpiece. It's not even close to one of my favorite songs but it's very good and very well written. I love Gone too. This is a great record to play loud on vinyl!!!

Right on, man. I like you. Great examples of what are epic live songs. I'll add Present Tense, Given To Fly and maybe even Life Wasted. Inside Job and Gone....zzzzzzzz. Like you said, Inside Job kills the crowd. Same with Gone. I think Gone is the most frustrating because it actually has potential but it got rushed.
And to the dude who said that credentials should be reexamined if a fan doesn't like Inside Job...very original. Never heard that before. Saying that shortly after defending Big Wave is brilliant. It's like the band was thinking, "We've got this politically charged record, but what it needs is a generic power chord crunchy tune about surfing" while tracking the record together.
I'd probably agree on Inside Job live at a concert unless it was in the encore or as an opener. Awesome album closer the way it builds. It just gets you pumping by the end when Ed belts out those yeahs.
As for Gone, yeah don't care to hear it live, but I like the song. It lacks the emotional depth and feeling that a slow Pearl Jam song needs to be great live.
Sorry, I'm on the Big Wave train. Good album song as a quick rocker to scream along with, but doesn't bring it live.
I think I must be the only person that doesn't like Inside Job. Not a fan studio or live. I do like Avocado as a whole though....it just doesn't age for me. I do dig Life Wasted, Severed Hand, Marker, and WWS live.

I love Marker as well. I think "What went wrong? Walking tightrope high, over moral ground" is one of my all time favourite Ed lines.
And I love this too:

Yes. Awesome lyrics.
Love the back & forth between Mike & Stone as well. Plus, it may be one of my favorite drum tracks from Matt with PJ.

Yes, this. First thing I thought. Great drumming and guitar work.

Oh wow. You must be so deep and heavy and politically brooding. You should definitely make your case to the band for subjecting you to their "generic" rock. How dare they stray away from tortured political angst for even one song.
I like the record - great songs (sans Gone - super weak for EV, I believe), but it was very poorly mixed. I'd listen to it more if it weren't for the mix/production/whatever it is.
