    It's a kick-ass song and the Otis Redding version is even better. Listen to it and maybe you can even try to play it, it's a pretty easy song to play and a real nice one to sing (and whistle). ;)

    I love this song and like both versions equally, however, when I'm really down, I put on the one done by Pearl Jam and I start to feel much better

    Great thread. I didn't even know they covered it till i stumbled on it on kazaa. Great cover.

    one of my favorite covers they do! i used to drive around in my car and listen to that song all of the time. it reminds me of high school, when i first heard it after they played the Atlanta show over the radio. Damn, what a great cover.

    i wish i had a car now just so i can drive around and listen to it.

    I've got a version where Mr. V sings
    "Sittin' in the dock of the bay", which
    makes me love it even more

    Well, i have to say - first i heard PJ version of this song, and, of course i loved it. and than i heard Otis Redding -it's cool and more fragile. But, U know... maybe if i listened Otis first i had would preferf his version, but I can not change it, always when I listen "sittin' on the dock" with Otis (i.e. in commercial of one of of car) i remember the PJ cover - i feel deeper emotions.
    Not 10c member? Have sth to say? write to me - I'll put it on the forum

    I really do like the PJ version of this song. The link is to the only public performance of the song so I dont think we will hear it anytime soon but you never know.
