This is "Even Flow" caught live, but the song belongs to Ten, Pearl Jam's 1991 debut, where Stone Gossard wrote the music and Eddie Vedder the words, and Epic sent it out as the album's second single in March 1992. On Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks it got as high as number three.

The studio version was a sore spot inside the band. Jeff Ament rated it a great song stuck with the weakest take on that first record, the leftover of roughly a hundred tries that never quite landed, and drummer Dave Krusen admitted he was still green back then and the track wobbled too much. The song later turned up on the 2004 hits set Rearviewmirror, with a remix on the 2009 reissue of Ten. Small wonder the band gave it another run on stage.
