That version of Why Go from Lollapalooza 07 is one of the most intense renditions of any Pearl Jam song I have ever heard. The crowd and the band appear to be going balls to walls apeshit. Just that intro of the drums and overall first 1:30 seconds seem to be the craziest shit the band has done in a along time. Mind you I'm drunk and just had an intense conversation with a girl I love deeply and am leaving very soon, but GOD DAMN. What a song.

    Why Go is one of my favourite songs!
    I dont think it has anything to do with the drink ;)

    it has nothing to do with the drink...I was there and it was very intense..the most balls to the wall I've ever seen them...Corduroy following it is pretty damn crazy too

    Listening to that version of Why Go always makes me smile. Always. It brings back SO many great memories..especially the intense energy from hundreds of people waiting alllll day in the blistering sun. I love it.

    The energy at that place when they opened with that shit was balls to the walls. It didn't really slow down for four songs when they played Small Town. For a greatest hits set list that show was fucken sick.

    I was at that show and have it on my ipod. I still get goosebumps everytime Why Go comes on shuffle...takes me right back to that night. I thought that was a great show with a lot of energy, but I didn't think they sounded that great from a technical aspect. They definitely rocked, but McCready seemed to be having guitar problems and Ed's voice was a little off..like he was out of breat the whole time. I think it was mostly due to the fact that they were using festival gear (speakers/setup) instead of their own stuff and it was about 100 degrees outside.

    It's that camera shot on the dvd that makes it look so intense. The shot is from behind the stage so you can see the song start and because its still light outside you can see the whole crowd jumping up and down to the drum intro. It looks frickin' sick!

    I've never seen that, but based on that description, I MUST.

    the lolla version of why go is good, but check out the version from san fran #3. holy freakin' God! if any of the new fans want to know what pj was like back in the day, here's your window. it's like pj circa '93 - '94. mike's solo is insane.

    It was awesome but it sucked at the same time for the people who were in the first couple of rows, I was getting pushed and shoved around, guess it comes with the territory. Is there a place to watch the pro shot stuff from the show, or a torrent or anything?
    32 shows and counting...

    Yea, it definitely set the stage for the first set, which seemed to be nothing but drunk guys trying to mosh and/or crowd surf back where I was. An unforgettable night in that respect...one I enjoyed, but not one I'd love to relive all the time.

    I, too, have Lolla on my IPod. I can't tell you how many times I'll be at the gym when that comes on and I get an amazing rush thinking back about that night.

    Best booze there was the bottles of wine they put in the sport bottles by the way...of course, I'd downed like two of them before MMJ was done with their set. It was a fun, fun night...I might have to relive it on my drive to work later.
