It's a beautiful song about a son remembering his "larger than life" father. Written for the movie Big Fish. I'll definitely borrow a line or two when the time comes for my dad. The tidal wave line is my father. Man, it's a little dusty in here, huh?
That tone Eddie sings with in this performance is the tone he sang with the whole 03 tour. Sounded amazing. That was their peak of live shows in my opinion.
I was at this show. Tim burton asked them to write a song for his movie BIg Fish. This is the performance where they debuted it. Great song, great performance
Thanks for this reaction. I was surprised a mellow track like this got into the 8s. This is another very lyrically dominant song. As many of the commenters have noted, this was written on Tim Burton’s request for the soundtrack of the movie Big Fish. If you’ve never seen it, you are missing out. It’s in my top 10. It’s very entertaining. It’s incredibly memorable.
Pearl Jam do have a song called 'a whale song' which is obviously about whale, and I believe that's where Mike start experimenting with the whale sound all over the song. It sung by Jack Irons their drummer on that period with Eddie on back up vocal. ruclips.net/video/uhGSY2sxwTU/видео.html
CORRECT David, it IS Cameron on the kit! Even when Soundgarden reformed Cameron would stay with PJ on tour, Chamberlain I was told would go on tour in place of Cameron for Soundgarden when they reformed.
What a great concert. Sadly, those days i was just a college student without money to travel to pearl jam abroad. About the whale sounds, I guess the same. But no so much as in “Estranged” by Guns N’ Roses or Charly García’s “Los Dinosaurios”. I wonder why you did not mentioned some harmonies made by Matt
My favorite live track... if not my favorite pj track... the way they do it live seems to vary greatly... if not show to show... then tour to tour. Plus the fact that it was written for the big fish film... (i think tim burton?).... adds that depth. Its lyrically as solid as anything theyve done
I do believe that is a volume knob and a delay pedal with the feedback turned down. Pick the note with the volume turned down, then swell the volume knob, and you get the pure note without the pick attack and that tone then delays. It’s harder than it looks or sounds because you pick the note at a weird point so you can do the swell in time. Or it’s an elbow.

Imho, the best live show I've heard from them. Amazing set.
This whole show is sublime. Eddie’s voice in every song was incredible.
Literally watch this show a few times a month at night lol.
@@ryankessler9528 it’s so perfect to relax to 😊
Such a beautiful song. It reminds me so much of my father. Thank you for this review.

A Top 5 for me on more mellower PJ tunes!

Kind of like what Alex does on the Rush song Xanadu in the opening, or La Villa...using the volume knob....love that.
Sounds like a steel guitar with bottleneck cylinder etc on the frets
That sound sounds like a sho bud lap steel guitar.
Comes then goes 9.3 😂
Still waiting for new PJ album reviews .... waiting for Stevie. Won't tell,scared of fear, the album start to finish is Amazing
Ooh great. More Pearl Jam 🙄
