For me, it's the best album opener since Brain Of J. and don't get me wrong, I love Breakerfall, Can't Keep, Life Wasted and GSMF...but Getaway is just so amazing. The subject matter, the lyrics, the music...it's all perfect.

Is it so wrong to think that love can keep us safe?

This.
However it is impossible for me to say how it ranks amongst all of Pearl Jams album opening tracks - they are all so good!

Personally speaking, yes...but I still love those tunes as well.
Thanks for the great explanation!!!

Live I think it hasn't really been fully realized though, at LA1 I didn't even know they were playing it until Ed started singing the verse.
Like someone's already said, getaway - mind your manners - my fathers son is such a great sequence.
Ha ha- I just wrote a post about my dad loving this album. However, the way he describes it is along the lines of "Those first three songs are hard for me to get into, but the rest of it is incredible."
Even still?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQ3rshXmPNQ
Yeah, do not like that song. Saw it live in Missoula. Not impressed seeing it live either. Was just waiting for it to be over (that Letterman performance IS a really great performance though! Much better than when I saw it! They were on fire for that one). It's in my bottom 10 PJ songs actually. Wasted Reprise is much better though.
Listened to album in full last night after a 4 week break and its still the standout for me.
I know its the wrong thread but gee LB single makes me cringe. I liked the original live version but the album version..... its just terrible IMHO.
I wasn't so hot on Sirens live at the show either though. Bit of a mood killer IMO. Sounded fine, but I dunno. Just didn't seem quite right.
Nah lightening bolt the song......don't know what it is but I just cant stand it.
Like the album a lot and Sirens is OK but not the worldbeater I was expecting (or some made out to be.
But YEP Getaway....love the rhythm and the lyrics.
Alpine Valley Resort is etched in my brain!!!
I agree.......as an album opener, it sure gets your attention!
It's a great song no matter where it is on the album.
