Immortality gives him the most trouble - at least it did during the 2000 tour!

Although Immortality has some outstanding lyrics.

Indeed it does - EV just keeps screwing them up (in 2000).

Wait, are both correct? Ok, I now have to google it and understand the difference. Thanks!

second song from Moonlander

I've listened to a lot of live versions of "Better Man" but I think overall, the "tight" versions from 2000 might be the best. Sure, there are a few classic performances since (Mexico 2003, Boston 2008, MSG 2010, and Lima 2011 come to mind) but these provide a refreshing alternative to the current live form of the song.

What do you mean by "tight"?

My favorite Better Man is the one from Arnhem 2006 - but of course I haven't listened to as many versions as you have!

Tight in a good way...and, yes, there are some very good version from 2006. In many of the 2000 versions, EV sings the entire first first - you can hear the crowd singing too but not on their own.

Also, the music doesn't slow down during the "Save It For Later" tags which keeps the energy going. I can appreciate the build up in the more recent versions but these 2000 versions are definitely worth a listen. Two I might recommend are Mansfield 1 and Pittsburgh (which Ed recommended to me).

Good boy, good boy
The No Woman, No Cry snippet is amazing in that version.

Just random but I always wonder why in the Pearl Jam thread a couple of lines of another song is called a tag, while when we talk about U2 we call it a snippet

It is the same thing, right?

Yes it is - I say snippet regarding to every artist, including PJ

Matt - for me the crowd singing is a PLUS, not a low!
