The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
If it's just a replay of this 15th anniversary thing, then prepare to be disappointed. It's nowhere near as good or insightful as the Vs one. Mainly due to the lack of Stone.
I am not one for having exceptional taste, but I think of the 11 Pearl Jam albums, 9 of them make my list of great albums. This one is way up there on that list. And I love NAIS and thought it was one of the best songs I ever heard when they debuted it in 1999 at Bridge School.

Every live NAIS >>>>> studio NAIS
There’s a certain way the acoustic guitar from Bridge School paired up with Mike’s electric leads that makes the performance. When they took the acoustic riff and used electric guitar to essentially emulate it, I didn’t like it as much though I do not think it ruins the song - I just think the acoustic pairing is better.

I'm the opposite. There is an incredible claustrophobic atmosphere to the studio NAIS that just can't be reproduced live. Binaural is actually a record where I prefer a bunch of the songs live (which is unusual for me). I generally prefer Of the Girl, Light Years, Grievance, and Parting Ways live. But certainly not NAIS, although at least it's still good live. I think Insignificance, an excellent studio track, just gets destroyed live. It's never not felt flat, and it loses the calibrated intensity of the Binaural version

I can actually refine my thinking on this a bit more: NAIS live outdoors > NAIS live indoors >>> NAIS studio
For me NAIS soars when it has room to...uh, soar. I'm sure we all have our own visceral PJ connections, and NAIS at an outdoor show is one of them. In that setting, it's one of those "This isn't their best song, but right this second you could convince me it is" sort of thing.
Just going to complete this exercise, because I don't think there's another album that more clearly sorts itself into songs I strongly prefer live vs. on the record.
Breakerfall – live (but both are fine) God's Dice – studio (a lower-tier song for me regardless) Evacuation – studio (please don't play this live) Light Years – studio (I feel this loses some intimacy the way NAIS loses some of its claustrophobia) NAIS – live (still great either way) Thin Air – studio (fine either way) Insignificance – studio (I'm on, or nearly am on, team "this is the best PJ studio recording"; it truly does get destroyed live) Of the Girl – studio (I think) Grievance – live (by a ton) Rival – studio (moderate preference) Parting Ways – studio (moderate preference) Soon Forget – please don't play live ever again Parting Ways – live (not fully convinced of this, good either way)
I loooove Breakerfall-Gods Dice-Evacuation....Ed´s restrained voice, the guitars mixing with eachother...the overall groove and of course, Matt Cameron.
