i'd really like for this song to pop up in the sets again. its a fun song.

I enjoyed it more than I did Last Kiss personally.

i wish they'd replace that one with this.

I would really like to hear this one live.

agreed

This is probably my favorite Pearl Jam cover.

I first heard it at the 9-10 garden show in 98 and it was a ton of fun, especially with the hand clapping part. A real festive way to end the show.

cha cha cha

Forget about Solider of Love... what about Last Solider??

way overrated, imo.

doth we disagree southp?!?

Well, to be quite honest I could care less what type of Soldier we're talking about. Be it the last one or the one in love, if they're going to play an obscure Xmas single let's hear Strangest Tribe.

fuck me in the brain

p.s. Side note... when they finally got around to playing Hard to Imagine after all those years at Montreal '98 I was the only dork standing on his seat with excitement. Security had to come by to ask me to get down. Funny thing is that I never really loved that song, as obsessive-fans we just want to go home with a little piece of obscurity.

it sounded so good at the vic man, SO GOOD... made a hti believer out of me

what took so long? that song is great

I always mildly enjoyed it, but the demo versions were never enough to justify me buying Chicago Cab for what I thought was a pristine/definitive version. The LD version sounded like the demo version, so my enthusiasm didn't increase. When I heard how good it sounded though, and the vibe and groove of the song, and Matt playing it REALLY fucking well giving it so much power... man...

i also prefer this to last kiss
it was a nice little ditty to hear at Boston 2000

i would love to hear Last Soldier, which i think is way better than man of the hour, gone, soon forget etc... but no matter what setlist i get this year, i cant complain because i have seen so many songs which i never dreamed of hearing PJ play: leash, alone, ive got a feeling, crown of thorns, HTI etc

having been lucky enough to be there for the 3 boston '03 shows, the 2 boston '04 shows, and Philly '05, ive been able to hear so many rarities/obscurities

let's stay on topic kids.

Lay down your arms and surrender to me
Oh lay down your arms and love me peacefully
Use your arms for squeezing and pleasing the one that loves you so

Oh there ain't no reason for you to declare war on the one who loves you so
So forget the other boys because my love is real
Come off your battlefield

Lay down your arms and surrender to me
Yeah lay down your arms and love me peacefully
Use your arms for squeezing and pleasing that's the way it's got to be

The welcomes you're using are hurting me bad
But someday you're going to retreat
Cause my love baby is the truest you've ever had
A soldier of love that's hard to beat

Lay down your arms and surrender to me
Lay down your arms and love me peacefully, yeah...
Use your arms to hold me tight...baby i don't wanna fight no more
Use your arms to hold me tight...baby i don't wanna fight no more

Oh baby, lay down your arms
Oh baby, lay down your arms
Oh baby, lay down your arms
Oh baby, lay down your arms
Please baby lay down your arms
