    Would be nice, had the pleasure of hearing them open with it at Camden 2 in 2000.

    Probably my favorite from Binaural.

    I love this song (and Can't Keep) as an opener, but I would also love to hear it as an encore with a nice, lenghty jam. Someday...

    Errgh.. "Can't Keep" is probably my least favorite PJ song. I like 99% of their catalogue, but for some reason I could never get into that one.

    Sorry to hear that.

    I hold this to be their best opening song for any album.

    Further, the 1st 3 tracks of Riot Act are the best place 3 songs of any album, that is not named 10.

    I never get tired of Can't Keep.

    The drums and Eddie voice, both build like the biggest of waves and then explode.

    "I want a last breath
    I don't let out"

    Being a swimmer I can so relate to these lyrics.

    Great concert in Toronto last night......the special night they put on for us with the opening acts member not being able to get across the boarder, was amazing. Each guy definitely had a different sound compared to the Pearl Jam sound but it was great to hear. I pitty anyone who missed Eddie's pre-show performance.

    Now getting to the concert was another issue (crazy temporary fences everywhere for the CNE). There was about 10-15 of us trying to get out to start walking east instead of west towards the amphitheatre.

    Good times.

    Great minds think alike. I feel the same way, I just looooooooove those 2 songs! Heard Can't Keep as an opener (Melb 3 '03) and it was great. Have yet to hear OTG and it's the song I most want to hear of theirs live, with Release opening one of the shows (am going to 4 Australian shows). That would be unbelievable! :D
