    In hiding bootlegger?!?!
    Dave, you think you'd like dte more if you didn't see it 4587 times in a row?

    Verses are great on In Hiding but the chorus not so much. Great song but amongst this list it is the last song I would listen to.
    Vocals are fantastic.

    This is the first time the song I voted didn´t get eliminated, so let´s try again.
    By the way, some weird choices for this round. In Hiding? :confused:

    I vote for songs based on the record version. Sure ATY is more boring live than In Hiding, but on the record I would rather listen to ATY. Got a Beatles feel to it, and I love playing it on guitar more than In Hiding.

    Brain Of J.
    I'm still in shock that No Way got dumped early...

    It was between Brain of J and DTE to go this round for me

    You´re right, and I see your point. It`s just that I can´t quite leave aside the live version of the songs, and they might be defining my votes.

    Low Light
    Still can't understand why it was as an opener at Wrigley

    Given the results last round, I didn't see the hit that Brain of J is taking coming at all.

    MFC was probably my third favorite on the album, brain of j just behind it and that looks in trouble

    Brain of J. is one of the best openers on any PJ album imo

    No need for strategic voting since it's pretty clear which 3 are heading out, though I'm baffled by the votes for Brain of J.

    Same. Faithful is good, just not at the level of these others for me. All Those Yesterdays would probably be next on the block, but that's where it gets very tough. I love that song. Such a strong Beatles vibe to it. That one and Low Light are so representative of what Yield really is to me. It marks the time when they really started to become the band they were going to be for the decades to come.

    But this album wouldn't feel quite like Pearl Jam to me without Brain of J.

    Prediction: In Hiding loses to Given to Fly in the championship round. Does anyone doubt this outcome?

    As has been stated already, really surprised to see BoJ with 2x the votes of DTE. I honestly love them both and thought for sure people would be voting it out just because they're sick of hearing it live, much like Even Flow got bounced too early. Glad to see it hanging tough though because it's the last heavy rocker on the album and a good song with better lyrics than BoJ.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Brain of J. Damn. Another one of my all time favorites. Thought it would have a better chance. I guess the PJ I love isn't quite the same as the majority
