Ending of Wishlist

What always strikes me is that on the album version the volume is simply turned down when Eddie is still singing. It's not something common for a Pearl Jam song. Is there a full version available somewhere?

    At the end it just says I wish it was a radio that you couldn't turn off, But I don't think that something else is said

    It's ended in various different ways live. I like the ending 'I wish I wish, I wish I wish, I guess it nevers stops'

    True, but because the volume is down at the precise moment... It doesn't sounds like an end of the song though.

    I love the ending in 2009 Rotterdam


    I wish i wasn't such a traveling man, I settle down in Rotterdam.
    Enjoy my freedom and the people of the city.
    Enjoy my freedom and the wings on my feet.
    Enjoy my freedom and the wisdom I'd might meet..

    Hejejeheeejeee...

    The ending of the song always amused me, because even as you turn it up, it fades away. Very witty.

    Sometimes I figure that bands really don't know how to end recorded songs. There's only a few way to end songs. A fade, a cold ending (very abrupt), mixing into the next track (think Pink Floyd), or a sustained/sting of a note.

    If you're looking for a recorded version that doesn't fade out I know for a fact that Single Video Theory has a version akin to the album and you can hear very clearly, "I was I was a radio song, The one you couldn't turn off."

    I also believe if you go to Gremmie.net you can get an audio copy. It's my favorite ending to that song.

    If you want a live version with that ending check out Virginia Beach 2000.

    Enjoy is sweet

    Mansfield '03 was the greatest and most butchered version I've ever seen in my PJ concert career. Eddie got lost in the song, asked the audience for forgiveness, and then ripped into the Buzzcocks "Why Can't I Touch It". It absolutely leveled the crowd and turned into a big sing-a-long. All the while the mirrorball was spinning lights through the crowd. Amazing. I'll never forget it.
    I love to turn you on

    I love the Buffalo 2003 version of the end of Wishlist. At the end Eddie sings:
    "I wish that I was a disease, a disease called love and peace
    and I wish that I could spread, to every person in the land
    and I know that eventually, and I hope that eventually
    and I feel, I feel, feel; that it wont happen without you and me
    it'll take you and me, it'll take you and me
    and more than me, it'll take you
    and more than me, it starts with two
    and then becomes ten; and then becomes ten thousand
    and then becomes ten million; and then becomes ... the truth
    the truth, the future, and the truth
    send home those troops, come on troops
    seek more troops"
    2013 : London, Buffalo

    Lately, I've been loving the live Wishlist tags. Two performances jump out at me: Borgata 2 2005 and Cincinnati 2006.

    Does anyone else have any beautiful versions to share?

    Re: The album version fading out, instead of actually ending

    "I guess it never stops."
