I love it. One of the calmest songs I've heard in a while, that is happy. Are there any other versions performed like this other than the 3/18/05 version?

I am not familar with 05 version you are referring to but I am guessing that by "calm" you mean it is a slowed down version as compared to the full band renditions from 2000 and 2003 that are "fast"

The song has only been played a handful of times (less than 20?). The best "slow" version I know of is the 11/16/93 New Orleans performance. It is the one with Ed solo and he prefaces it by saying "this song is for someone who is here tonight and they know who they are.."

It is a really sweet version.

I usually understand acronyms - what the hell is this one (and I a am sure that when someone answers I'll say 'oh yeah').

I had the same question.

i got a boot long ago from a "secret" fan club show, moore theater in seattle where ed opens encore #1 with it (solo) and it's a great version.

he sure does like to throw curse words in though, doesn't he... (i know i'll go out of my fucking mind)

I'm not a fan of the two letter acronyms, unless they were mentioned in full beforehand.

Same thing on the New Orleans recording but it adds an emotional punch to the end of the song in my opinion. Very rock n roll.

Sydney '03 is the best slow version I’ve ever heard. Incredible sound quality as well. Get it now.

Thanks. No wonder I had no clue. Pearl Jam acronyms are ok, but other band acronyms that they cover are less clear.
