I'm listening Black right now. I must admit, after hearing all those songs of Pearl Jam, I'm pretty sure that Black is Pearl Jam's greatest song in the PJ catalogue - A MASTERPIECE:D Those lyrics, the music, Mike's solo's unbelievable!!

:D:D:D:D

    quite possibly
    "I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"

    I agree:it is a masterpiece...
    En mi vida,
    el oscuro me mantiene
    cuando yo te vi
    en la lluvia me prometiste tu sangre

    Estrella de la mañana
    Samael te persigo a ti
    y si me quedo sin alas
    ademas me muero por ti

    I totally agree! There is no song in the world that evokes the emotion from me, on a consistent basis that Black does.

    I'm pretty sure I've posted this exact sentence at least 15 times on this board!

    I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star
    In somebody else's sky, but why
    Why, why can't it be, why can't it be mine

    It is so sad and beautifull, my all time favourite line....
    Beavis : Is this Pearl Jam?
    Butt-head: This guy makes faces like Eddie Vedder.
    Beavis: No, Eddie Vedder makes faces like this guy.
    Butt-head: I heard these guys, like, came first and Pearl Jam ripped them off.
    Beavis: No, Pearl Jam came first.
    Butt-head: Well, they both suck.

    My favorite line also, especially when he sings "I f***ing know you will be a star" (I think its on Live at Benaroya)...so full of angst!

    Definitely a masterpiece if the time and mood is right. Otherwise, it really doesn't do that much for me.

    black is the most amazing song, its so full of emotion. the first time i heard it live when i saw pearl jam in barcelona it was so amazingly moving, tears were coming out of my eyes. the people next to me and around me and everywhere were so moved too, you could see other people crying. and we sang the song with him for like 10 minutes and it was just eddie going "we belong, we belong together"

    when it was over the crowd went absofukinlutely insane. i was almost crushed people rushed the stage and rushed forward and everything

    black is the most amazing song everrrrr! :]

    I wasn't in attendance but the best version I've ever heard was Ottawa 05. Eddie tossed on the most amazing tag at the end I've ever heard....simply beautiful!!

    Best version of Black. The end of the song always gives me goose bumps.

    uhhh the solo? Theres a ridiculously weak solo in this track....the song on the album, is fairly thin, but when played live with a fantastic solo, it is a masterpiece i agree...and when the vocals are more impressive.
