    General Comment:I was fortunate to be there for the performance of this at Little Rock in '03. VERY powerful song live, never experienced anything like it.

    General Comment:Now that the meaning has been revealed, it's fair to say that it makes a great opener to "Love Boat Captain" on the Madison Square Garden DVD.

    "Lost nine friends we'll never know, three years ago today..."

    General Comment:Eery song. It doesn't take words for Ed Vedder's voice to get to you. Recently, after listening to this song and thinking about Columbus-area Pearl Jam fan Brian Shaffer, who's been missing now for 5 months (since April 1st), I realize how important Pearl Jam views their fans.

    I cannot even fathom what it must have been like that night, to have to bear witness to that kind of horror of nine people dying, or know what's happened to Brian Randal Shaffer.

    General Comment:also, on the 2003 tour they performed the song only nine times (for 9 victims), with eddie using a mixing deck, he sang the nine separate vocal tracks on stage& then played back them mixed together.pretty cool.

    General Comment:I think it is beautiful, and even more so now I know that there is such a concrete meaning behind it.

    General Comment:Eddie said in an interview with rolling stone that the "chanting" is the way that he could express his feelings towards the people who died in the denmark tragedy.
