edited September 2006 in Given To Fly (live)
Has not been played during the Euro tour and just twice in 2006, 5/20/06 Cleveland, and 6/1/06 Jersey. This song has always been a staple of the set-list throughout the years, being played at least every 4th or 5th show. Looks like it's being overlooked. The great drum solo at the end of the song has been replaced by Matt's extended solo during "Even Flow". Hoping it gets played at the Greece show for old times sakes.

    I don't know... I really want to hear this song live

    My "missing list" is:

    Immortaliy - Smile - Off he goes - Hard to imagine - All or none

    Imagine an encore like that!!!
    :D

    This song needs to be played, it's almost a classic. I think they'll play it in Greece

    Maybe at the Athens show, the band will let someone else do the set-list? A roadie, or a friend of the band. We all know if this happens, we won't be seeing the standard set, but other less played songs, "Immortality" being one.
    One can only hope.

    it will be the first time i'll see Pearl jam (that's because i live in greece) and the songs i REALLY want to hear are black, do the evolution, given to fly, smile and immortality. i'm pretty sure they'll play the first 3 ones, but the other 2... i'll have my fingers crossed. especially smile would be awesome to hear!

    Speaking of other versions, does anyone remember back in the early 95 shows, there was a little pre-cursor to "Immortality". Sort of like Romanza to Betterman, Ed would play a little snippet and sometimes toss in lyrics, "had to fly, had to fly"..... Can't think of the show, maybe Missoula 95.

    Best Version is Soldier Field 1995 hands down the coolest solo ever on this song.
