sometimes they drop an album and there will be a song that i find "eh"...but then i see them do it live and it's like "whoa!!!!"

The 2 songs that come to mind, for me, are....

Severed Hand - i hated the "yeahhhhhhh" parts when it first came out...but when i saw this live it was 10x better than the album version.....I love this song now!

You Are - the album version is not a bad song...in fact it's a great tune...but it wasn't till i heard Stone's riff live that i really fell for this song...Riot Act so awesome & it has become one of my top PJ albums!...so underrated!!!!

PJ may be the only band on the planet that can make a song sound even better live than it did in the studio.....such amazing musicians!


* EDIT: ARC

holy fuck!! how could i forget Arc?!?!

I never liked that shit till i went to an Ed solo show and was totally blown away by Arc...if you have never seen Ed do this live you'd never understand because their are no words that can articulate all the emotions that came over me when i heard it live...Ed sings from his soul when he does Arc!

    I loved You Are and Severed Hand both studio and live. I guess for me it was hearing Inside Job live that made me love it.
    fuck 'em if they can't take a joke

    first one that comes to mind is Arc

    waste of time/space on cd, live was cool. I wonder how it would sound in a big venue

    Not quite the same because I haven't actually seen any of them performed live yet but Sleight Of Hand only hit home after years of listening to boots and it was an 06 show in Switzerland I think when I finally got it. Speed Of Sound and Supersonic will have to be seen live before making judgement I think because I don't like the studio or boot versions I've heard :(

    The Fixer.

    First time I heard it I thought it was lame and very un-Pearl Jam-ish. Then saw it live in Chicago before the album came out and liked it a lot better. I think seeing the energy of the band onstage helped sway my opinion. It grew on me and I realized it's a fun song and I like it more now.

    Much of Backspacer is better live, and Life Wasted and Evacuation were both much better as well. But no song went from plain to outstanding more than Push Me, Pull Me.
