    I just listened to the TMR version of this song.

    I need a cigarette.

    I don't smoke.

    Wow.

    Wrigley 2016 was great, too. Listen to that one, you may need two cigarettes...

    Yup. It’ll do that to ya. The last 3 or so minutes of it are insane. Simply amazing. Some of my favorite PJ work of all time.

    Am I the only one that loves the fact this song only exists Live?    I think it's damn cool to have a song that gets played but has never had a studio release.  It kind of makes it mythic.
    Nope, I fee the same way. 

    I also wouldn’t replace a single song on Gigaton with it either. I think that album is pretty perfect front to back, and their best release in 20 years.

    OTE blows anything away they have made in the last three records, at least, in my opinion.
    Love the Third Man performance, it is amazing.
    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    Saw the live debut of this song in Dublin in 2010, good tune. Not really sure about its mythical status at this stage, but it's definitely a song I wouldnt mind hearing live again.

    Anyone know how many times they've recorded a studio version? It's been in contention for a few albums but Mike said Ed believes they've yet to capture the perfect version. I hope we one day get a studio recording. Superb song.

    It was amazing to see live at Wrigley 2016!   I don't really care about a studio version though.  I'm good with hearing the live versions.

    Yes!  Studio version please. 

    Honestly it’s one of my favorite things they’ve ever done. I’ve somehow been lucky enough to see it live twice and it was absolute fire both times!!!!

    This is the version recorded during the Backspacer sessions? Absolutely fantastic. More lyrics than the live versions.

    It is a studio version. Apparently from Backspacer sessions. Has some extra lyrics/vocals in the middle but I kinda understand why they were left off the live versions. It’s good (it’s obviously a good song) but not really any better than the live versions on nugs

    Of The Earth should have been in place of Sleeping By Myself on Lightning Bolt imo. I think the band has been quoted that it will never be on an album and just a cool song that they play live every once and awhile. Seems like people love this song or hate it. 
    Agreed!  Personally, I would get rid of "Sleeping By Myself" and "Let the Records Play" on Lightning Bolt... man, those songs back-to-back are rough and completely deflates that album.  Fill that hole with a 7 or 8 minute "Of the Earth" with a big jam session.  

    I agree with others in this thread that it would have fit great with Gigaton, but I don't feel like anything on that album is as weak as "Sleeping By Myself" and "Let the Records Play".  Yes, I'll even defend "Buckle Up"!

    This song is almost a decade old and way overhyped. Stop wishing for it to be on the next studio album.
    "True Love Waits" is a song by the English rock band Radiohead. Radiohead worked on it for over two decades before releasing it on their ninth album, A Moon Shaped Pool (2016).

    There's always time to get that definitive album version!  Also, disagree with it being overhyped.  I think it's a unique PJ song, not many others like it in the catalog.  And I love the idea of it being an extended studio track... hell, have Jack White guest on the studio version and capture that Third Man Records magic as a studio cut.
