why a faux master as opposed to a faux mix

Remixing implies the use of individual tracks; I'd say there are anywhere from 24 to 50 tracks on Got Some. A faux master just uses stereo stems, which is far more creatively limiting, and in this case probably means 8-10 stereo tracks that have already been mixed and mastered.

This song is a great frickin jam. Love Matt Cameron on this, a Backspacer gem.

I'll explain further:

Once the recording industry shifted to a digital production and delivery model, the record labels began mixing albums by committee; that is, they'd hire someone to do a mix, then share the mix with the entire band, management team, and A&R department, because it was so easy to just email the mix out. With so many opinions to be considered, engineers took up the habit of printing stereo "stems," two-track mix-downs that would typically look like this for a song like Got Some:

Drums + Percussion
Bass
Rhythm Guitars
Lead guitars
Keys
Vocals

That way, if one of the A&R guys said "Could I hear it with the vox a little louder?", it didn't require a full remix; the engineer could simply bring the vocal stems up 1 or dBs, a process that would take all of five minutes to edit and deliver. Whereas remixing a song like Got Some would probably have a track layout that looks something like this:

kick drum (in)
kick drum (out)
rack tom 1 (top)
rack tom 1 (bottom)
rack tom 2 (top)
rack tom 2 (bottom)
floor tom 1 (top)
floor tom 1 (bottom)
floor tom 2 (top)
floor tom 2 (bottom)
snare (top)
snare (bottom)
overhead left
over head right
Room mic 1
Room mic 2
Room mic 3

And that's just the drum setup. You get the idea.

Fat Ed and Mike is WAY too high in the mix but it's fun.

The one and only time they performed the song in its original key, if I’m not mistaken.

I feel like if you didn't ever listen to Pearl Jam and just watched this clip you'd think they were horrible. I feel like you guys are lowering your standards because you've watched everything they've ever done.

Ha, Ed looks better now that he did then.

I remember being really excited for Backspacer about that performance. Those were the days...

I really like Stone' headbanging around the 2:00 mark, and then again at the end.

I dunno what you guys are hearing, Eddie is barely audible and he sounds awful even if he was heard.

The tolerance of a lead singer who can't sing his own songs is so weird.

Yeah, the mix of that performance was bad.

Loved the energy though.

I love how EV goes to stand on the drum stage so he doesn't look so short next to Conan.
