Sleight of Hand

I've always like this song, but in the past week or 2 I started loving it and I don't know why. I was wondering if anyone else loves this song as much as I do.

    I fucking love this song. It's the perfect song to listen to in your car driving at night when it's raining.

    Instintly was my favorite song on Binaural, and is in my top five ALL TIME Pearl Jam songs. I love how dark and moody it is. I just seemed to connect to the song right away. Its actually the same kind of reaction that I had when I first listened to YOU ARE.

    I loved it from the very first time I got the chance to hear it! It's my second favourite on Binaural though... (NAIS is no.1)
    a couple of months ago I used to listen to it just before sleep..like everyday for quite a long period of time..

    On the bootleg Mass 11 2003, the 1st CD is acoustic. Sleight of Hand is my favorite...the acoustic guitars are surreal. Anyone know who is playing? Does McCready do acoustic, is it Gossard or both?

    One of my favorites of all time. When they did it acoustically at Mansfield in 2003, it truly did send shivers up my spine. It's also a great example of Ed's poetic use of the "F" word. There was a thread a while back about that and I think that version of Sleight of Hand illustrates that beautifully. "Trapped on a road he fucking knew by heart".

    I can listen to that song any day, any time.
