I just can't get past this guy's voice sounding like Elmer Fudd.


WTF, perhaps the most lame comment I have ever read on RP post.

 
OMG, perhaps the best comment I have ever read on RP post!






Insert obligatory "I hate Pearl Jam" comment, here.

  I am with you.  Most live recordings seem unable to resist mixing in too much of the crowd.

Love Pearl Jam - but, and it is Rare, though there are some exceptions, that a Live performance can be as satisfying on the ears to me, and this one follows suit.

That's what they do........at every show.   For this.......and Betterman.......and many many other songs. 

The feeling in the audience for this band is one I've never experienced - and I've been going to live rock shows for 35 years.

Sorry - You can not love PJ and think this beautiful and somewhat different (unplugged and slower) version of this masterpiece is BORING.

Just saw PJ live - what a great show.  Eddie likes interacting with the crowd and invites them to sing many of the songs.

<<Black>> is for me one of the most powerful songs I've ever heard. This version is absolutely amazing and this song will never die!
"I know someday you..." Thank you Pearl Jam for this!!!

Love this song.  The studio version is so powerful—this version seems insipid to me until the audience jumps in and carries the thing through.

If you ever wrote a masterpiece, which I sincerely doubt you have, you would love it if your adoring audiences sang it to you.
 
Especially a home-town audience....

Great song, great performance. BUT....

Getting the audience to sing that particular part really really ups the whiny-ass quotient beyond a tolerable level. I can handle it when its the band singing it, but not the audience.

Nobody loves their band like a PJ audience does. 

We sing like this at every show.

Nobody loves their audience like PJ does.

They play with fire and love this now ancient song every time.

Normally I do not care much for recordings of live performances — BUT this is amazing!  This song and DCD "American Dreaming" and Madrugada "Majesty" — I will make exceptions for.
