Tell me your thoughts on this number.

I actually love it as an opener, however, I will always take Oceans as the opener as it has been 2 times in WPB.

I was blasting OTG at my house and it got me thinking: This is such an underrated song on an underrated album.

Despite being seemingly a fan favourite, I've never cared for this song. Bores me to tears.

I'd be a little disappointed if this opened a show I was at, I have to admit.

Saw it in Manchester Uk in 2000 as an opener & they kinda screwed it up but it's a great song.

My first show ever, 8/29/00, was openned with this. I always liked the song but at the time was a bit disappointed. Listening to the boot now though i love it. I also saw it acoustic at 7/11/03 which was a pretty damned good version.

It can be hit or miss. Sometimes it is seriously rockin. Mike rips on it sometimes.

I'd love to see this as an opener. One of my favourites off Binaural :thumbsup:

It's my favorite Pearl Jam song. Loved it the first time I listened to Binaural. Got to see it live at my hometown St. Paul show in 2003.

I quite like the lone 06 performance in SF. Faster tempo and Mike rips it. The one on the VFC vid is good, too, save for Ed's half-assed vocals.

i actually like comeback, plus of the girl is a great opener, that's where it should be brought back.

I reckon it would make a good first song on the encore.

You also saw it when we were with Idlewild-June 2 2003 in Irvine, LA, ya big tool!
Actually, outta all the shows I've been to, the only other time I saw it was Brisbane, February 9 2003.
Just listened to the LA version-fucking cracking-and straight into Last Exit, too :bammer:

I'll take Of the Girl in any show at anytime....it is just a filthy good song. McCready's original echoing licks are what make the song for me.

The thing is they don't really know how to end it.

They need to write up a new little chord progression for the end section and end it in a minor chord

Love this song and when they are on it really pulses. On the ending, I would rather them let it space out and before the noise is over break in with Save You or something like that.
