    Yes! Pearl Jam obviously knows what their best songs are, unlike their fans.

    How did it sound? The 2003 performances were pretty under-rehearsed.

    This actually makes this the 5th must-have boot in a row. They're no longer pricks for not playing Evacuation, they're pricks for making me spend so much damn money. :p

    i remember ed being quoted as saying the song is very hard to sing, and im guessing thats why we dont see it often


    evacuation is a great song, love the changes of tempo

    Here here.

    As a drummer, I find this song as one of my favorites to jam along with. The time signature changes and off beat fills are pretty tasty.

    good job

    I doubt that’s true, but one can dream.

    Now that it’s dusted off we need it played in D.C.

    Evacuation D.C. `08

    Make it happen!

    Haters need not apply :p

    I agree. From a guitar point of view it is very fun to play. Its a good rocker. The solo at the end is awesome as well. I love any song Matt comes up with

    Was never a HUGE fan of this song, but it was very good last night. And surprisingly the crowd was pretty into.

    The only good part about that song for me is switching the words and shouting Ejaculation! :)

    Dang, great bump! How did you find this? I wanted to bump this the other day after Chicago was announced and couldn’t find it. Searched pricks and this one did not come up.

    Play Evacuation In Chicago You Pricks

    And dare I suggest a little rehearsal this time around. Almost got it in D.C. last year but…

    I love this song and I'm so glad they played it in VA Beach (and an aborted version in D.C.) last year!

    Took me years to like this song, but that bridge is just so great. Rest of the song is still kinda just average PJ but it sounds great in the context of the album.

    I don't know what it is about this song. The fuzztone riff at the beginning sounds a bit "Nah-nah-ne-nah-nah", the lyrics and vocal delivery are a bit like Rik from the Young Ones writing a schoolboy ode to the Seattle Riots, and then, come the bridge, we get this Police odyssey, before returning to nah-nah-ne-nah-nah. I'd rather one of the hits that they've played ten million times before, thank you.
