    It's a kick-ass song and the Otis Redding version is even better. Listen to it and maybe you can even try to play it, it's a pretty easy song to play and a real nice one to sing (and whistle). ;)

    I love this song and like both versions equally, however, when I'm really down, I put on the one done by Pearl Jam and I start to feel much better

    Great thread. I didn't even know they covered it till i stumbled on it on kazaa. Great cover.

    one of my favorite covers they do! i used to drive around in my car and listen to that song all of the time. it reminds me of high school, when i first heard it after they played the Atlanta show over the radio. Damn, what a great cover.

    i wish i had a car now just so i can drive around and listen to it.

    I've got a version where Mr. V sings
    "Sittin' in the dock of the bay", which
    makes me love it even more

    Wow, thanks for that video link..I've had this song on bootleg forever and always wished there was a video for it...Never realized Eddie couldn't whistle and had Cropper do it

    Well, i have to say - first i heard PJ version of this song, and, of course i loved it. and than i heard Otis Redding -it's cool and more fragile. But, U know... maybe if i listened Otis first i had would preferf his version, but I can not change it, always when I listen "sittin' on the dock" with Otis (i.e. in commercial of one of of car) i remember the PJ cover - i feel deeper emotions.
    Not 10c member? Have sth to say? write to me - I'll put it on the forum

    I really do like the PJ version of this song. The link is to the only public performance of the song so I dont think we will hear it anytime soon but you never know.
