when they played this at the show, the crowd went wild. it was a crazy kind of energy because they had been playing for so long, you just weren't sure when it was going to end. but once the song started, you didn't even care, it was all in the moment.
words cant' describe the beauty of this song so i won't try.
"Time is on the side of the oppressed today, it's against the oppressor. Truth is on the side of the oppressed today, it's against the oppressor. You don't need anything else."-Malcolm X
Im listening to the song now (MSG). PJ does such a beautiful job, it definately gives me the chills everytime I hear it. One of the few songs that can actually make me cry.
never seen pj live as they dont come to uk often but i heard a bootleg and eddie says "this is a song they (jeff and stone) wrote before mike and I met them. its called crown of thorns" and the crowd went fucking mental. must have been awesome. my favourite song ever
"I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"
They played it in Chicago and I'm the first to post about it here? Freakin' unbelievable!
I feel we are in a special fraternity of sorts. PJFWSCOTIP. Pearl Jam Fans Who've Seen Crown Of Thorns In Person. Maybe we can have a secret handshake or something?
...so i'll just lie alone and wait for the dream, where i'm not ugly and you're looking at me...
yeah this was amazing in chicago. definately the hilight of the night. when eddie starting talking about matt and soundgarden, for some reason i thought the next song was going to be crown of thorns, don't know why, but i'm sure glad that i'm right
I'm hoping I get to hear it once during the European leg of the tour. I love this song and would probably be in tears if they did play it. The only thing I get emotional over is music :rolleyes:

i've seen it 3 out of the 7 times its been played. i'm feeling guilty now.
I died. I died and you just stood there. I died and you watched. I died and you walked by and said no. I'm dead.
you ever heard the story of mr. faded glory?
say he who rides a pony must someday fall
i been talkin' to my alter
life is what you make it
and if you make it death well then rest your soul away
away away yeah child
it's a broken kind of feeling
she'd have to tie me to the ceiling
a bad moon's a comin' better say your prayers
i wanna tell her that i love her
but does it really matter?
i just can't stand to see you dragging down
again
so i'm singing
this is my kinda love it's the kind that moves on
it's unkind and leaves me alone
yes it does
i uses to treat you like a lady
now you're a substitute teacher
this bottle's not a pretty, not a pretty sight
i owe the man some money so i'm turnin over honey
you see mr. faded glory is once again doin' time
this is my kinda love
it's the kind that moves on
it's unkind and leaves me alone
yes it does
like a crown of thorns it's all who you know
so don't burn your bridges woman cause someday, yeah
kick it!
baby i said com' on, com' on, com' on, com' on yeah i said baby
don't burn your bridges woman
It will be played live again, if the band feels it that night, it will happen:) so stoneygstring, you'll get it someday i know i freaked out when I first heard this song at MSG I :eek: Special night!

I was listening to MLB this morning and damn, this song always does it!
And seriously, hearing the Jeff interview and him talking about how emotional this song gets him and how it's been hard for him to play over the years?!! Awwww.:( But I love how he said that he felt that change in Chicago..and feels like maybe they can play it more now.:) Remember with smiles.
I'm SO beyond ready for this magical beauty on LEG 2 PJ.

Hey all,
I ran across this thread after writing down and posting memories to my web site concerning the conception of the lyrics to "Crown of Thorns" and "Chloe Dancer."
Wow, I just want to say, I've never seen a thread that is over 2 years old. Nice.
San Fran 92, San Fran 93, Berkeley 93, Indio 93, Fairfax 94, DC 95, San Fran 95, DC 95, Va Beach 98, Columbia 98, Dc 98, Va Beach 00, Columbia 00, Philly 03, Bristow 03, Chicago 06, Chicago 06, Dc 06, DC 08
I am listening to the MLB version right now and I have tears in my eyes. It is one of the most beautiful and gut wrenching songs I have ever heard. At the Vegas show (just the other day) I swear I could hear the intro to this music coming from somewhere (I think one of the guitar techs was playing it). I nearly exploded because I thought that the song was going to be played that night, but it wasn't. Hopefully someday I will have the pleasure of hearing Crown of Thorns live.
On the MSG DVD there is a part where Jeff and Stone are jamming in front of Matt and Jeff looks up at Stone and just smiles. *sigh* That part always gets me.

"Playing a song that hits you on that deep emotional level and being able to match that with what you're playing on the drums - that can just lift you and the song to another level." -- Matt Cameron
I agree Lydia, bring this on, along w/Chloe Dancer. It makes for such a great combination:)
Truly one of the BEST songs Andy Wood wrote and one of the BEST songs PJ has EVER covered!
Hmm -- maybe I should honor the longivity of the thread and offer some insights to the lyrical interpetations.
Andy and Chloe. Glimmer Twins of the mystical kind.
Chloe just like me, only beautiful
A couple of years of difference
Chloe is a moniker of someone Andy never really met in person. He met her through me. She was 17 and he was 20. They were both Goats, both were short and packed a powerful punch. Both liked to climb the walls and kick the ceiling with their feet. Andy was the pretty one -- in a masculine way, and Chloe was the beautiful one in a feminine way.
Chloe danced the tables in the french quarter
That line was not about New Orleans or the Big Easy as some may have speculated. She was not a hooker or a prostitute. The line was about me dancing with her in spirit afterwards.
But those lessons never learned
Those lessons never learned === was because she died when she was 17. I was her lover before she died. I was mourning her loss when I met Andy. Andy felt a deep, mystical, and spiritual bond with her == even through he never met her in person.
Time spent laying by her side
It was not her in person as much as it was her spirit coming through me. I felt her alive in my heart at all times --- even today.
The songs "Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns" are themselves sort of "twins" to one another.
He romantized meeting her in person ..... but that .... and other dreams I carried in my mind --- were never going to be possible. I had to bury apart of her in my mind == and Andy helped me do that.
