As an old timer who doesn't get too psyched for Jeremy at shows any longer ( Ed phones it in at times IMO, seem to have zero enjoyment in singing it).  After reading the recent Jeremy stories and watching the video for the first time in who knows how long.....

Damn that song is good, and that video is simply a masterpiece of the genre.


Let's give an amazing song some love in honor of Trevor Wilson.

    Made me fall in love with PJ in 92.  Still a top 5 PJ song for me

    The opening bass has popped every crowd that has ever heard it.

    I still for some reason consider myself lucky when I hear it live. Like it's "semi rare". Love the version from Verona 2006.

    Can we give it some love in honor of Jeremy Wade Delle, too?

    It's sad really, that it became so overexposed in Eddie's mind. Every time I have seen it played live or heard it on a boot it gets a great crowd reaction. So I guess maybe we should be happy it didn't become overplayed like Evenflow.

    I've seen five shows since 2011.

    No Jeremy. Not once. 

    (I believe it was on the Buffalo 2013 setlist but omitted).

    Love it.  Nothing better than seeing Jeff under the spotlight to start the song =)

    I spent junior high arguing that it was the greatest song of all time... probably the most important stance I've ever taken. 

    The song will always be special to me. Heard it first in Milwaukee in 2014... chills.

    Sad to hear of Trevor's passing. He sounds like an incredibly interesting man.

    Great song.  When I first got Ten the three songs I listened to the most were Even Flow, Jeremy and Black.   Can only have love for one of the first songs that really got me into Pearl Jam.

    A song that drew many of us 90's kids into the band...

    Jeremy is by far and away my favorite song to see performed live.  To be there when this is played, along with the crowd interaction, It's an experience all in it's own.

    I've seen Even Flow and Alive live so often that they've lost some of their magic.   Jeremy was the song that got me into PJ, and they don't play it live nearly as often.   I think it's helped keep the magic alive in that song.    It's weird the radio seems the same way.   All I hear is Even Flow and Alive but they rarely play Jeremy.    I get pretty stoked every time I hear Jeremy live and given how horribly my memory can be, it's one of the few songs in existence I can sing front to back knowing all the words :)

    I will always remember hearing the song in concert in 98 and when the big crescendo of the crowd singing at the end hit it was so loud it made me dizzy for a second and I thought right then that I would never hear something that powerful again and I have not. 
    RIP Jeremy and Trevor.
