SHAKE A LEG¡ .. no end up flat on your arse and shake two legs cuz its Pearl Jam's LIVE ON TWO LEGS whOO hOO¡ =) there's juz sumthin' 'bout listenin' to live music isnt there just¿ wells I reckon so's anywayz =þ so this be Pearl Jam's first live album .. there was talk of this bein' a two disc .. but unlucky for you and unlucky for me .. it only ended up being one disc bOOoo =( nOt that i'ma cOmplainin' tOo much here¡ =) cuz it's hell better than being a NO live disc eh¿ i think it was somethin' 'bout not havin' enough time to select what tracks to complete it or sumthin' .. i dunno BUT as far as i know .. all these tracks are indeedy from different concert venues from their '98 US Yield tour .. right from Feb. through to Sept. '98 .. perty wicked huh¿ *s*
I know I was spewin' BIG TIME when they came on over to Perth and i missed out *bleh* but if they be 'round again .. I'MA THERE ALREADY¡ there ain't nothin' that's gOnna hOld me back .. hail, rain or WIND .. i'll get there somehow¡ *lOl* .. that's how it goes isn't it¿ ;)
But this i thought, was a rOckin' cd with choice tracks chosen for it .. can't ask for anythin' mOre¡ with moments like the explosive "Go" to the rawness of "Do the Evolution" to the more tender moments of "Black" .. it's juz GREAT¡ and don't you juz lurv the Neil Young cover¿ *G*
Cute pic of Eddie there too's with alls the other faces you see heh heh *s* rOck on is all's i can say¡ whOO hOO¡ I recKon it's grOOvy how tHe sTretcH oUt their soNgs and thRow in tHe odd biT liKe in "Daughter" .. waY kewL ..
CORDUROY [live]
vAbbruzzese, Ament, Gossard, McCready, Vedderv
The waiting drove me mad
You're finally here and I'm a mess
I take your entrance back
Can't let you roam inside my head
I don't want to take what you can give
I would rather starve than eat your bread
I would rather run but I can't walk
Guess I'll lie alone just like before
I'll take the varmints path
Oh and I must refuse your test
Push me and I will resist
This behavior's not unique
I don't want to hear from those who know
They can buy but can't put on my clothes
I don't want to limp for them to walk
Never would have known of me before
I don't want to be held in their debt
I'll pay it off in blood let I be wed
I'm already cut up and half dead
We'll end up alone like we began yea
Everything has chains absolutely nothing's changed
Take my hand not my picture spilled my teacher
I don't want to take what you can give
I would rather starve than eat your breast
All the things that others want for me
Can't buy what I want because it's free
Can't be what they want because I
I ain't susposed to be just fun
Yea by to be tried or be a judge
I figure I'll be damned all alone like I began
GIVEN TO FLY [live] Could have tuned in tuned in but he tuned out
HAIL, HAIL [live] Ah is there room for both of us ah both of us apart
DAUGHTER/RITFW/WMA [live] Alone listless breakfast table in an otherwise empty room I see a girl of the night with a baby in her hand
ELDERY WOMAN BEHIND THE COUNTER IN A SMALL TOWN [live] "This one's called... longest title in the Pearl Jam catalog "Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town." 1 2 3 4 2 3"
UNTITLED [live] Got a car I got some gas
MFC [live] Sliding out of reverse into drive
GO [live]
Oh please don't go out on me don't go on me now
RED MOSQUITO [live] Watched out the window with a red mosquito
EVEN FLOW [live] Freezing rests his head on a pillow made of concrete again
OF HE GOES [live] Know a man his face seemed pulled and tense
NOTHINGMAN [live] Once divided there's nothing left to subtract DO THE EVOLUTION [live] "That's an old song this is a new song. It's evolution baby. See ya all .."
BETTERMAN [live] Waiting watching the clock it's four o'clock it's got to stop
BLACK [live] Yeah oh yeah
vVedder, McCreadyv
A bad time nothing could save him
Alone in a corridor waiting locked out
He got up out of there ran for hundreds of miles
Made it to the ocean had a smoke in a tree
The wind rose up set him down on his knee
A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw
Deliver him wings hey look at me now
Arms wide open with the sea as his floor
Oh now now oh he's flying whole high wide oh
Floated back down cause he wanted to share
This key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere
But first he was stripped and then he was stabbed
By faceless men well fuckers he still stands
And he still gets his love he just gives it away
The love he receives is the love that is saved
And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky
A human being that was given to fly
He's flying whole high why oh-he's flying oh he's whole oh
vGossard, Ament, Vedder, McCreadyv
Are we bound out of obligation is that all we've got
I kiss the earth and then I get to thinking
I don't want to think I want to feel
Oh how do I feel and fucking how do I
If you're the only one and I'll never be enough yeah
Hail hail the lucky ones I refer to those in love yeah
I swore I'd love you til the day I die oh and beyond
Oh are we going to the same place if so can I come
It's egg rolling thick and heavy all the past we carry
Oh I could be new you underestimate me
If you're the only one will I never be enough yeah
Hail hail the lucky ones I refer to those in love yeah sure
I sometimes realize that I could only be as good as you'll let me
Oh are you woman enough to be my man bandaged hand in hand
I find it on the run in a race that can't be won yeah
Hail hail the lucky ones I refer to those in love yeah
If you're my only one I want to be your one
I want to be the one enough you win enough you won yea-ooh
"Well, we're making up for lost time here. Uh, thanks for waiting"
vAbbruzzese, Ament, Gossard, McCready, Vedderv
Young girl violence center of her own attention no no
Mother reads aloud child tries to understand it
Tries to make her proud yea
The shades go down into her head
Painted room can't deny there's something wrong
Don't call me daughter not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me
She holds the hand that holds her down
She will rise above ooh woh
Don't call me daughter not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter not fit to be
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me
The shades go down
Woh
Under an old street light oh next to a garbage can
Now she's put her kid away she's going to get a hit
She hates her life and what she's done with it
That's one more kid that will never go to school
Never get to fall in love never get to be cool
That's one more kid that will never go to school
Never get to fall in love never get to be cool oh
He won the lotery when he was born
A big hand slaped the white male american
Do no wrong so clean cut
Dirty his hands it comes right off
Police man
Ooohhh ..
"All right"
vAbbruzzese, Ament, Gossard, McCready, Vedderv
I seem to recognize your face
Haunting familiar yet I can't seem to place it
Cannot find the candle of thought to light your name
Lifetimes are catching up with me
All these changes taking place
I wish I'd seen the place
But no one's ever taken me
Hearts and thoughts they fade fade away
I swear I recognize your breath
Memories like fingerprints are slowly raising
Me you wouldn't recall for I'm not my former
It's hard when your stuck upon the shelf
I changed by not changing at all
Small town predicts my fate
Perhaps that's what no one wants to see
I just want to scream hello
Oh my god its been too long never dreamed you'd return
But now here you are and here I am
Oh hearts and thoughts they fade away
Hearts and thoughts they fade fade away
Hearts and thoughts they fade away
Hearts and thoughts they fade
Fade away
"Pretty good singing there"
vAment, Cameron, Gossard, McCready, Vedderv
Oh let's get out of here
Get out of here fast
Ah everyone's confused
So I stay in my room
If I go I don't want to go alone
I hope you got this message
Oh your not home
I could be there in ten minutes or so
Oh I got my things
We'll make it up as we go along
Oh with you I could never be alone
Never be alone
vVedderv
This wheel will be turning right
Then straight off in the sunset she'll ride
She can remember a time denied stood by
The side of the road now she out on her own
Out on her own and line high
There's no leaving here ask I'm an ear
She's disappeared now
They said that timing was everything
Made him want to be everywhere
There's a lot to be said for nowhere
There's no leaving here ask I'm an ear
He's disappeared now
There's no leaving here ask I'm an ear
Fuck it we'll disappear now oh
vAbbruzzese, Ament, Gossard, McCready, Vedderv
Never acted up before don't go on me now
I swear I never took it for granted just thought of it now
Suppose I abused you just passing it on
Go fuck
Once fastened servile now your getting sharp
Moving oh so swiftly with such disarm
I pulled the covers over him shoulda' pulled the alarm
Turned to my nemesis a fool no fucking god
Go fuck jump time please
Don't go on me
Ooh
Time fuck burn true aggression fuck burn jump
Please please please
Don't go on me
Don't you want me don't go on me
Don't go on me woh
vPearl Jam, Vedderv
I was not allowed to leave the room
I saw the sun go down and now it's coming up
Somewhere in the time between
I was bitten must have been the devil
He was just paying me a little visit
Reminding me of his presence
And letting me know he's a waiting ohh yea
Red man's your neighbor call it behaviour
While you're climbing up slippery hills
Two steps ahead of him punctures in your neck
Hovering just above your bed
I was bitten must have been the devil
He was just paying me a little visit
Reminding me of his presence
And letting me know he's a waiting
Always waiting ohh yea
If I had known then what I know now
vVedder, Gossardv
Oh Feeling maybe he'll see a little better set a days ooh yeah
Oh hand out faces that he sees time again ain't that familiar
Ooh
Oh dark grin he can't help when his happy looks insane ooh
Even flow thoughts arrive like butterflies yea
Oh he don't know so he chases them away-yea oh
Oh someday yea he'll begin his life again
Life again life again
Kneeling looking through the paper though he doesn't know to read
Oh praying now to something that has never showed him anything never will
Oh feeling understands the weather of the winters on its way yea
Oh ceilings few and far between all the legal halls of shame yeah
Even flow thoughts arrive like butterflies yea
Oh he don't know so he chases them away yea
Oh someday yea he'll begin his life again yea
Oh whispering hands gently lead him away
Lead him away him away yeah
Woo ah-yeah let me introduce you to Michael
Even flow thoughts arrive like butterflies yea
Oh he don't know so he chases them away-yea oh
Someday yea he'll begin his life again yeah ah
Whispering hands gently lead him away
Lead him away him away yeah
Woo uh huh yea yeah yeah gonna fuck it up again wooo
"Uh, this is uh, a nice little ditty"
vVedderv
Like he's riding on a motorbike in the strongest winds
So I approach with tact suggest that he should relax
But he's always moving much too fast
Said he'll see me on the flipside
On this trip he's taking for a ride
He's been taking too much on
There he goes with his perfectly unkept clothes
And there he goes
He's yet to come back but I seen his picture
It doesn't look the same up on the rack
Oh we go way back
I wonder about his insides
It's like his thoughts are too big for his size
He's been taken where I don't know
There he goes with his perfectly unkept hope
And there he goes
Oh and now I rub my eyes for he has returned
It seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned
For he still smiles and he's still strong
Nothing's changed but the surrounding bullshit that has grown
Oh and now he's home and we're laughing like we always did
My same old same old friend
Until a quarter to ten I saw the strain creep in
He seems distracted and I know just what is going to happen next
Before his first step he is off again
Here we go
vAment, Vedderv
Some words when spoken can't be taken back
Walks on his own with thoughts he can't help thinking
Future's above but in the past he's slow and sinking
Caught a bolt of lightning cursed the day he let it go
Nothingman
Isn't it something Nothingman
She once believed in every story he had to tell
One day she stiffened yea took the other side
Empty stares from each corner of a shared prison cell
One just escapes one's left inside oh well
And he who forgets will be destined to remember oh oh oh
Nothingman
Yea isn't it something Nothingman
Oh she don't want him
Oh she won't feed him after he's flown away
Oh into the sun yea into the sun
Burn burn oh burn
Nothingman
Oh isn't it something Nothingman oh
Nothingman
Oh coulda' been something Nothingman
Oh ohh ohh
vVedder, Gossardv
Woo woo
I'm ahead I'm a man
Oh I'm the first mammal to wear pants yea
I am at peace with my lust
I can kill cause in god I trust yea
It's evolution baby yea
I'm a piece I'm the man
Buying stocks on the day of the crash yea
On the loose I'm a truck
All the rolling hills I'll flatten 'em out yea
It's heard behavior uh huh
It's evolution baby yea yea
Admire me admire my home
Admire my son he's my clone
Yeah yea
This land is mine this land is free
I'll do what I want yet irresponsibly
It's evolution baby yea
I'm a thief I'm a liar
There's my church I sing in the choir
Hall-le-lu-jah
Admire me admire my home
Admire my son he's my clone
Yea yea an appetite for nightly feast
Those ignorant Indians got nothing on me
Nothing why because
It's evolution baby yea
I am ahead I am advanced

I crawled the earth but now I'm high
2010 watch it go to fire
It's evolution baby yea
A wohh hoo
It's evolution baby yea
Do the evolution
Come on
vVedderv
Tell him take no more she practices her speech
As he opens the door she rolls over pretends to sleep as he looks her over
She lies and says she's in love with him can't find a better man
She dreams in color she dreams in red can't find a better man
Can't find a better man
Ohh
Talking to herself there's no one else who needs to know she tells herself oh
Memories back when she was bold and strong and waiting for the world to come along
Swears she knew it now she swears he's gone
She lies and says she's in love with him can't find a better man
She dreams in color she dreams in red can't find a better man
She lies and says she still loves him can't find a better man
She dreams in color she dreams in red can't find a better man
Can't find a better mam
Yeah
She loved him nah she don't want to leave this way
She feeds him na that's why she'll be back again
Can't find a better man can't find a better man
Can't find a better man
Ohh ohh
Uh huh
"Thanks"
vVedder, Gossardv
Sheets of empty canvas untouched sheets of clay yea
Laid spread out before me as her body once did yea
All five horizons revolved around her soul
As the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
Ooh and all I taught her was everything that's all
Ooh I know she gave me all that she wore yea
And now my bitter hands shade beneath the clouds
Of what was everything
All the pictures have all been washed in black tattooed everything
I take a walk outside I'm surrounded by some kids at play
Oh I can feel their laughter oh so why do I sear
Ooh and twisted thoughts that spin around my head yea
I'm spinning oh I'm spinning
How quick the sun can drop away
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
Of what was everything
All the pictures have all been washed in black tattooed everything
All the love gone bad turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see all that I am all I'll be yeah
Uh huh uh huh ooh
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life I hope you'll be a star
In somebody else's sky but why why why can't it be can't it be mine
Oh ohh yea oh
Do do do do do do do
Yeaa yeaa
