    times change. the band's changed. i guess that is why they tiltled it, "Lost DOGS", instead of 'lost PUPPIES.' they wanted the songs to grow up..... i love all these tracks. glad they were released.....

    really? how do you know that? i like to think of myself as an audiophile, paying attention to sound and all that. to me the Lost Dogs one sounded like a newly recorded version or that they brought up the sound on the guitars and ed sang fresh lyrics.

    There are slight lyrical differences between the two versions (40 shades of grey for the Vitalogy session and "using only grey" for vs.) They're actually the same musical track, just with different vocal sessions.

    now we're questioning the bands decision making process?

    its pearl jam.

    and you're questioning the thought process behind it?

    its rock n fuckin roll, man.

    groove on it

    or move a long.

    Nah ..I'll stick to the Jeremy B-side version of Footsteps..works for me...

    Chicago Cab version = Vitalogy sessions outtake
    Lost Dogs version = Vs. sessions outtake
    I thought it was the other way around?

    Chicago Cab version is WAAYYY better than the Lost Dogs version.

    Same with "U"... the B-side version on Wishlist is way better than the version on Lost dogs... you can tell that with HTI, U, and Alone, Eddie's voice just isn't as strong as it used to be.... it's still awesome, tho, obviously...

    I skip Footsteps on Lost Dogs cause I can't stand the harmonica..it totally ruins the intamacy of the lyrics with the acoustic from the Jeremy B-side..like a man barring his soul from a prison cell..what the fuck do we neeed a harmonica added for??

    This is where I am too. The Lost Dogs version doesn't exist in my universe:)

    I prefer pretty much all the original recordings to the lost dogs versions.. Even 'Hold on' that resurfaced on that outtake demo!

    An exception may be 'U'.
    I will swallow poison

    Can anyone hook me up with an mp3 of the Chicago Cab version of Hard To Imagine? I have never heard it!

    Thanks...

    HTI, Down, & In Hiding are the 3 most under-appreciated songs of this band.
