Credits say it's a Dave A/Gossard song. Anyone know if Dave A had the original riff or if he chopped up Stone's riff to make the 5/4. Either way Dave is responsible for an absolute monster gem of a track.

That we consider this and Go as the killer openers, speaks volumes. The guy brought so much energy that the album tracks of Vs and Vitalogy are the definitive versions more often than not.

This track makes me want to run and jump around.

I thought the official credit was for the whole band?...

(That said, I'm sure the credits in the Vs/Vitalogy era aren't entirely accurate.)

The ever trusty Wiki says Abbruzzese/Gossard. I wouldn't think that Dave A would get any credit unless it was necessary.

Just checked ASCAP, the official credit is Abbruzzese/Ament/Gossard/McCready/Vedder.

That's the case for all of their 1993-1994 material (except Better Man, Satan's Bed and Nothingman), even if that doesn't reflect the reality of who actually wrote the song. We know Spin the Black Circle was Stone, for instance, and Ed for RVM and Small Town (among others).

All the songs in that period are credited to the whole band. But most songs are brought in by individual members, I'm pretty sure it's something like this:

Go - (Dave, Stone)
Animal- (Stone)
Daughter (Stone)
Glorified G (Mike)
Dissident (Stone)
WMA (Jeff..jammy song.. all contributed)
Blood (Dave, Stone)
RVM (Ed)
Rats (Jeff, Stone)
Small Town (Ed)
Leash (Stone, Jeff)
Indifference (Stone/all members?)

Last Exit (Stone)
STBC (Stone)
NFY (Ed)
Tremor Christ (Stone/all)
Nothingman (Jeff)
Whipping (Ed)
Corduroy (Ed)
Bugs (Ed)
Satans Bed (Stone)
Betterman (Ed)
Immortality (Ed)

Agreed - I think those credits are pretty spot-on, as far as I've either guessed or has been hinted at in interviews.

I'm not entirely convinced Abbruzzese had a hand in Last Exit, I don't recall ever hearing anything to suggest that anywhere apart from that Wiki entry (which could've been entered by anyone). A Wiki listing isn't any more official than any of our guesses.

Wiki cites the Pearl Jam 20 book as a source for that claim, pp 58–61

So someone should check that, 'cause I never read the book.

Those pages fall in the TotD/Ten part of the book, had a quick skim and it's nothing relevant.

I checked the index and looked up the three occasions Last Exit is mentioned in the text, its authorship isn't addressed anywhere.

The Vs credits on Wiki are similarly screwy:

Quote:
1. "Go" Dave Abbruzzese [4] 3:12
2. "Animal" Stone Gossard [47] 2:49
3. "Daughter" Gossard [48] 3:55
4. "Glorified G" Gossard, Mike McCready [49] 3:26
5. "Dissident" Gossard, McCready, Jeff Ament [50] 3:35
6. "W.M.A." Abbruzzese, Ament [4] 5:59
7. "Blood" Gossard, McCready [2] 2:50
8. "Rearviewmirror" Vedder [6] 4:44
9. "Rats" Ament [51] 4:15
10. "Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town" Vedder [51] 3:15
11. "Leash" Gossard, McCready [2] 3:09
12. "Indifference" Ament, Gossard [6] 5:02

The reference for Jeff being the author of Rats directs to a 2006 Vedder interview that doesn't mention the song at all. I'm also sceptical that Abbruzzese is responsible for Go alone, as far as I'm aware he only wrote the main verse riff, Stone wrote the remainder. Since Leash is so prominently driven by Jeff's bass, I've always presumed he was the author (or, at least, the co-author), etc.

So, my point is that I wouldn't put any stock in the credits as recorded on Wikipedia. The only official credits for the Vs/Vitalogy material (with three exceptions) is for the entire band, the rest is just fan speculation (admittedly, some of it fairly persuasive - Ed songs are clearly Ed songs, for instance).
