    Kick Out The Jams is a LEGENDARY song "motherfucker"
    i know that word is extremely very overabused in this forum by many .. but this is not the case
    MC5 man

    I've tried...I really have tried to like KOTJ but it just never grabbed me....I always find EV's repeated "It's time....It's time....It's time...." entertaining, however. And the song is leaps and bounds better than Last Kiss.

    Crazy Mary was always my least favorite cover but lately I love it. It hit me much later in life. I absolutely love it on the boots now.
  3. I'm sort of the opposite when it comes to "Crazy Mary"...it's one of the few songs that I prefer the studio version over live performances and if I were to pick a favourite live version it would be the rawer (or is it "more raw?") versions from the 2000 tour.

    I just slapped Boom in the face, didn't I?
  4. And even though Kick Jams is a much more rocking song I prefer Last Kiss live ( IF I HAD to pick one) simply because I'm a sucker for crowd singalongs. But these 2 are definitely bottom for me as far as covers. I wish they would bring back Soldier of Love once in a while. That could be a "sing to the back" song

    Wow! I love when Ed sings it live now with more energy. Some great versions out there too...... MSG 1 2010, Gorge 2006 n2 to name a few.
  6. Another thing about "Mary" - I often forget that it's a cover. Unlike most of the other tributes they play, I don't think I've ever listened to the original Victoria Williams version (is there one?) Also, I still have a hard time considering Chloe/Crown and Hunger Strike covers since multiple band members were in on the writing of both of those songs.

    I agree, it's def a cover that they've made their own. I seriously doubt many people would know that song without PJ... Same can't be said for Baba

    I'll take you advice and have a listen to those version (in April, of course). Don't get me wrong, I like Crazy Mary - it's one of my favourite covers - but I can think of at least 70 songs I'd rather hear at a show.

    Yes but if that spot HAD to be filled with a cover song CM is always welcome as well as BAba. 2 of my favorite covers they do. Of course i would always prefer originals ..
  10. Originally posted by clover68:in my opinion it's a pity i haven't found any Pearl Jam topic, but maybe i'm too myope..
    so i seize the occasion of the release of Eddie Vedder single, "Longing to belong", which can be listened here.
    i haven't had the opportunity to give it a listen yet but it seems it's just Eddie and ukulele

    I just saw the "9999" on the post count....
    Look what you started "2 years ago" (it'd be closer to three, actually), Ronnie.

    Good lord, we are fanatics.

    Aside from the previously mentioned songs, Baba beats them all.

    Although I do like the Cincinnati 2000 performance of "The Kids Are Alright" and the 1995 Soldier Field rendition of "Let My Love Open The Door."
