I haven't heard this song in a while, but I had it on in the car this morning and fell in love with it all over...

Thats what I love about Pearl Jam songs.. You can take a break from some songs that you are in love with.... then fall in love all over again.

Any thoughts?

    one of my favorite concert-openers, but unfortunately it seemed to disappear from setlists a while ago.

    I haven't heard this one in a while either, but I remember loving it as a show opener.
    Is it so wrong to think that love can keep us safe?

    Yeah, I love the urgency in Ed's voice on this tune. One of my very favorite PJ show openers, GREAT SONG!!!

    Great tune! Ed always said that he likes to play that song on the uke but I LOVE the studio version. Great Album and concert opener!!

    I really think this is a very underrated song on a very underrated album. However, I'm not so sure if the song translates well live. I've never seen it live, but when I hear it on bootlegs, I never think it has that drive and intensity like it does on RA.

    Overall though, a very good song.

    Yep, underrated. I haven't listened to it on bootlegs much except for Benaroya and that is an awesome piece of work! :cool:
