If stranded on a desert island

and you had a solar powered waterproof CD player and you could have only 3 Pearl Jam CDs which 3 would you choose? Bonus if you could only have 1 bootleg as well, so you get 4 CDs and get to be Tom Hanks in Cast Away for 4 years, by the way you have a fishing net as well as a cave for shelter and plenty of fruit trees, so you won't starve, so this is simply for your entertainment while you are stranded

Bootleg: Madison Square Garden 05.21.2010

I meant No Code, although I love Riot Act would never rank it above No Code, so I had to edit that

    1.definitely Ten- because I'd be a smartass and sing Can't Go Home.. Stuck out here.. No one visits!
    But also cause I'd totally need Alive at that point..
    2. No Code- because I'd have to remind myself go stay calm and deal with the here and now. So I's HAVE to have Present Tense. Also Red Misquito.. Again, cause I'm a guck yard and am really good at entertaining myself!!
    3. Avocado.- for the songs Life Wasted and Inside Job to keep me sane and to back up Alive, Present Tense and then the Smart ass. Side of me would have to have Marker in the Sand, and I would make one! And the two words would be Save Me!
    Bootleg would be The Boston experiment!! Would need all the extra PJ I could get!!

    1- no code - I couldn't live without hearing "in my tree"
    2 - vs - the raw energy flow of this album would motivate me to keep surviving
    3 - yield - I could write all day about reasons I'd have to have this

    Bonus CD - msg 2 10' - there was a lot of emotion in that building that night and it would keep me grounded

    If "into the wild" counted as a PJ album id throw that in too. Not just for the title, but the whole album has a "keep you sane" attitude

    I'll go with Mansfield 2003 for the bootleg.

    I would for sure try to sneak in my iPod in some way to have the access to the full catalogue.

    With the solar panel alone you could cook things, and power other devices.

    You can use the Cd's as signaling devices, and also to gather water, etc.

    I would use the "music" to save me.

    okay MacGayver :lol: I tried to provide enough to live on, just because I knew someone would take the easy way out, obviously if you have plenty of fruit trees, there must be wood and if there are rocks you should be able to start a fire, but go without Pearl Jam if you must, I personally would go crazy after about a week
