What an amazing song. I have not listened to Vitalogy in a long while so it was great to get reacquainted with this great record. But when Tremor Christ came on, it just mezmerized me. Great song, great lyrics. I have been lucky to see this song once in Raleigh, NC back in 1998. I would love to see it reemerge.

    If I opened it now would you not understand?

    One of the greatest song in the entire catalogue. Really hope to see it live one day, hopefully in London next month.

    People asked for it in Dublin which I were at, then they played it in Belfast the next night :/

    One of my favorite songs.

    Top notch song on what is IMHO their best album. Wish they'd pull it out more often live.

    Sometimes I just listen to this song...
  • BobbakBobbak Posts: 87
    it's a good song, definitely not one of the favourite songs on the album but I won't skip it when I listen to songs on random.

    A lyrical masterpiece.

    Ransom paid the devil...he whispers pleasing words...
    Triumphant are the angels if they can... get there first...

    This song brings back so much feeling and emotion from a particular time. I love it.

    Great song. I was pretty stoked when they played it in Boise. I don't think I've seen it live since and that was a while back now.

    love it. the entire VITALOGY album & tour are probably my faves. the imagery of the lyrics & vibe of the music for Tremor Christ is a "swirling kaleidescope of sound & story". then again, the entire album is an emotional rollercoaster. a masterpiece.

    I remember first time hearing Vitalogy on a local radio station in Nashville when I was in college. It was very cool. They played the entire record from start to finish. This was the same radio station that played the Atlanta 1994 show live. This was my first recording of PJ live. I wore that tape out. I believe I still have it but unfortunately I do not have a tape player to play it.

    Tremor Christ is such a simple, but hard hitting song. I always love the end when the music stops and it is Ed singing "turns the bow back, tows and drops the ine... puts his faith in love and tremor christ".

    Freakin amazing song!

    Will never forget the first encore of Camden 1, Sept. 1 , 2000 , when PJ bracketed an amazing version of Tremor Christ with Breath and Once.

    Couldn't agree with this statement more... :D
    one of my all time faves, and live has been downright majestic...
    hope it gets played with more regularity in the future.
    fun note: my very first PJ show was at the Aladdin in Vegas in 93, and I am 99% sure it was the first time it was played live. When Vitalogy came out and this track came on I had the most insane deja vu...it wasn't until years later once I got a boot of that show did it all come together. :D

    I love this song, and have not had the chance to hear it live. I really hope they do it at Wrigley. I might make a sign for it, but I will probably be too far away from the stage... :lol:
