    For me, I like both songs, but it's gotta be Satans Bed baby!!!

    If I can share a story for a moment, Pearl Jam Australian Tour, Adelaide, Night 2...

    Coming up to the Australian leg of this world tour (2006), I had noticed it was played a few times during the US and Europe legs. I had never heard this song played live, but I fucken wanted to hehe

    Having my tickets for the Oz shows, I decided to swing the odds in my favour, so I sought to create a sign, requesting this awesome song.

    My best chance was Adelaide 2, as my 10C tickets wouldnt guarantee me front row. My Adelaide 2 ticket was bought through the public sale, and I scored fromt row in between Mike and Ed.

    My mission:

    Went to the local hardware and newsagent. Bought black and red thick marking pens, a ruler, scissors and a drop sheet. Went back to the hotel and cut up a spare pillow case.

    After a few sketches, i was ready to fill in the sheet. A masterpiece if you ask me...

    The Show:

    I waitied until the encores, I didnt want to go to early, just in case Ed forgot that he had seen it (drinking problem ;)).

    I managed to show it at the end of Crazy Mary, towards the end of Encore 1. Ed saw it while standing to the side of the stage. His head went back with a chuckle and smiled. Mike saw it at the end of his solo, and looked at me as if to say "what, you think I make any decisions??" and when Jeff saw it, he smiled, leant back into his Jeff stance, and played 1 line of the chorus!! We were going nuts!!

    During the break between encore 1 and 2, the roadie came out, scribbled out a song on the setlists on the stage, and wrote a different song in...

    When the guys came out, Ed said "gonna take care of a couple of requests, this one is from last night" and proceeded to play I Believe in Miracles.

    When that finished, my heart was racing, everyone around was cheering in anticipation. Then it started...

    Matt on the drums, Ed looks right at me, pionts at me and says:

    'AND REQUEST NUMBER 2 (he yelled it)'

    At which point we lost our motha-fuckin minds!!!

    Just had to share this experience, was truly amazing.

    Here is the link to the sign, basic, yet effective hehe

    Satan's Bed imo, although I love Gods' Dice

    Agree with you buddy, love em both but Satans Bed wins.

    At least the band still remembers how to play and sing God's Dice. Can't say the same for the other one. ;)

    Any time that more Binaural can make it into the setlist, it's a good night.

    I think the real battle should be Satan's Bed VS. Tremor Christ

    Tremor Christ, but both should be brought back into regular rotation.

    Satan's Bed is an overall better song, but the drumming on God's Dice is much better; Satan's Bed can't touch it. Both are great though.
    My first PJ show to witness was at Bonnaroo. How is that for lucky?

    Love both but gotta go with Satan's on this one... I just have this weird thing about songs that mock the whole idea... including Ben Folds' Satan is my Master
    BUAH HAHAHAHA
    Up here so high I start to shake...
    Up here so high the sky I scrape...
    I'm so high I hold just one breath here within my chest...
    Just like my innocence...
