Binaural 25th Anniversary

False_Belief · May 2022

I was 18 and took the CD to a house party ( 😂 ) the week it was released. Someone ended up throwing a full bottle of Bud directly at my head, which is fair tbh.

I've always enjoyed this version - the overdrive at the end of this take I don't think has ever been duplicated live elsewhere.

I agree with you, this is my favorite version. No doubt. Followed by the Bellingham, Washington one.

Fantastic album!

Happy birthday l! Had a blast on that tour… saw 8 shows and loved them all.

I’m surprised that Insignificance has not been resurrected for this tour considering the situation in Ukraine. One of many lost gems of the PJ catalog… only played 8 times in the last 10 years. 🥲

At first I just thought it was OK. Nothing special. It's really grown on me over the years and now it's fantastic. First show was the Binaural tour. I had always loved PJ from day 1 in 92. Going to that show and the release of all the boots right at the same time turned my love into a full blown obsession.
Favorite song off it has always been Parting Ways. Magnificent song that is incredible live. Benaroya Hall 2003, Grand Rapids 2006, and Toronto 2016 are standout live versions. Love the one from Lubbock, TX 2000 that is on the Touring Band 2000 DVD. Now there is a good way to celebrate Binaurals birthday. Watch that DVD in its entirety.

Such an underrated album. One of my favorites

same....Yield, Binaural, Riot Act are my trifecta but it took me several years to figure out how great Binaural and RA were.

I associate this day with Binaural without having to be reminded, which makes me happy. Binaural was a special record in my life, because as I am a little younger than some of y'all, I really "discovered"/ fell in love with Pearl Jam because of Yield, do Binaural was really the first record I got to anticipate and look forward to. I was a freshman in high school at the time, and feel like I almost sort of remember the excitement of the day. I also got to see PJ for the first time on the Binaural tour, and like the album, my first show opened with Breakerfall. Still a pretty solid record to listen to and enjoy from start to finish, in my opinion.

Pretty cool. Imagine this as the album opener right into "Breakerfall."

I think I was a junior in high school, but your story sounds exactly like mine lol. I think my first show Saratoga NY opened with Breakerfall too. I think after getting this album I really dove into all their other albums, which I bought in reverse order back to 10, completely by random choice too.

Good album.
I don't like the first 3 songs but love the rest of the album.

Some strong memories here. Was living on the east coast but was staying in California mostly to clear my head from a break up. Bought Binaural out there so I always associate it with that period of my life. Still remember my first listen. Also remember standing on some cliff somewhere in Cali listening to Insignificance a dozen times when I first heard it on the NAIS single.

I will die of the hill of they messed up the track list on this one. They should have stuck with the original. And how was Sad left off? Top 20 song in the catalogue and would have been the best song on the album (next to grievance of course).
