Le groupe est étonnant et très énergique dans une salle incroyablement chaude. Mike est dans le coup et est actif avec le public en face de lui. Eddie raconte que la dernière fois qu’ils étaient à Prague, il avait regardé un film et il faisait énormément froid et se demande comment font les tchèques pour supporter un tel froid. Cette fois, Ed dit "ici, il fait plus chaud que dans le cul du diable !" et ajoute que tout le monde a du courage d’être ici, il lève une bouteille de vin et porte un toast à tout le monde. Mike feint de se boucher les oreilles quand Stone joue. Durant One, Eddie court partout sur la scène, se tient sur des haut-parleurs et est très enthousiaste avec le public. Yellow Ledbetter est joué avec sous toutes les lumières de la salle et tout le monde chante, tout le monde est aussi en sueur. Eddie prend des polaroïds du public lors de sa sortie de scène, se marre et semble vraiment heureux. Il dit que, jusqu’ici, c’est leur meilleur concert de leur nouvelle tournée. Sleight of Hand est jouée pour la première fois live.

Of The Girl Ecrit par: Gossard Album: Binaural Date: 16 mai 2000 Oh he deals em off, off the top, ties em off Fills it up, with his past, gets carried away Oh half his life, a hand me down, wasted away Of he fills it up, with the love, of a girl Oh he left it alone, drilled the pain, with money to buy How he makes his getaway How he makes his getaway Oh he chose a path, heavy the fall, quarter to four Fills his night, with the thought, of a girl How he makes his getaway How he makes his getaway How he makes his getaway |

Grievance Ecrit par: Vedder Album: Binaural Date: 16 mai 2000 Have a drink they're buying. Bottom of bottle of denial. Big eye, big eye watching me. Have to wonder what it sees. Sin. Progress laced with ramifications. Freedom's big punch. Oh. Pull the innocent from a crowd. Raise those sticks them bring them down. If they fail to obey. Ah, if they fail to obey. Yeah yeah. For every tool they lend us a loss of independence. I pledge my grievance to the flag. Cause you don't give blood then take it back again. Oh we're all deserving something more. Progress. Taste it. Invest it all. Champagne breakfast for everyone. Everyone. Break the innocent when they're proud. Raise those stakes then bring them down. If they fail to obey. Yeah, ha, if they fail to obey. Pledge your grievance to the flag. Cause, don't give blood then take it back again. Oh, we're all deserving something more. Have a, have a drink, drink. Have a, have a drink, drink. I want to breathe part of the scene. I want to taste everyone I see. I want to run when I'm up high. I want to run to the sea. I want life to be. I just want to be. I will feel alive as long as I am free. |

Given To Fly Musique: McCready Paroles: Vedder Album: Yield Date: 3 février 1998 He could have tuned in, tuned in, but he tuned out. A bad time nothing could save him. Alone in a corridor, waiting, locked out. He got up outta there ran for hundreds of miles. He made it to the ocean, had a smoke in a tree. The wind rose up set him down on his knee. A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw. Deliver him wings, "Hey look at me now!" Arms wide open with the sea as his floor oh, oh, oh... He's flying, whole! High! wide! oh... He floated back down cause he wanted to share. This key to the locks, on the chains, he saw everywhere. But first he was stripped, and then he was stabbed by faceless men. Well fuckers, he still stands. And he still gets his love he just gives it away. The love he receives is the love that is saved. And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky. A human being that was given to fly... Flying! whole... High! flying! whole... He's flying! woah... High... woah... oh... |

Red Mosquito Musique: Vedder, Gossard, Ament, McCready, Irons Paroles: Vedder Album: No Code Date: 27 août 1996 Watched from the window with a red mosquito. I was not allowed to leave the room. I saw the sun go down and now it's coming up. Somewhere in the time between I was bitten. Must have been the devil. He was just paying me a little visit. Reminding me of his presence. Letting me know he's a-waiting. Ohh... Red man's your neighbor. Call it behavior. While you're climbing up slippery hills. Two steps ahead of him. Punctures in your neck. Hovering just above your bed. (x2) I was bitten must have been the devil. He was just paying me a little visit. Reminding me of his presence. And letting me know he's a-waiting. He's a-waiting ohh there. Yeah. If I had known then what I know now... (x4) |

Pilate Musique: Ament Paroles: Ament Album: Yield Date: 3 février 1998 Talk of circles, and punching out. Looking in, drawing circles down. Falling up, then south, marking ground. Talking out of turn, drawing circles down. Like Pilate I have a dog. Walks me out of town. Still one's a crowd. Making angels in the dirt. Looking up, looking all around. Like Pilate I have a dog. Obeys, listens, kisses, loves. Stunned by my own reflection. It's looking back, sees me too clearly, and I swore I'd never go there again. Not unlike a friend that politely drags you down. You down... Like Pilate I have a dog. Obeys, listens, kisses, loves. |

Alive Musique: Gossard Paroles: Vedder Album: Ten Date: 27 août 1991 "Son," she said, "Have I got a little story for you. What you thought was your daddy was nothing but a... While you were sitting home alone at age thirteen your real daddy was dying. Sorry you didn't see him but I'm glad we talked." Oh, I... Oh, I'm still alive. Hey, I... Oh, I'm still alive. Hey, I... Oh, I'm still alive. Hey, ooh. Oh, she walks slowly across a young man's room. She said, "I'm ready for you." Why I can't remember anything to this very day? 'Cept the look. The look. Oh, you know where. Now I can't see I just stare. I... I'm still alive. Hey I... But, I'm still alive. Hey I... Boy, I'm still alive. Hey I... Oh, I'm still alive. Yeah. Ooh yeah. Yeah yeah yeah. Oh.

Present Tense Musique: McCready Paroles: Vedder Album: No Code Date: 27 août 1996 Do you see the way that tree bends? Does it inspire> Leaning out to catch the sun's rays. A lesson to be applied. Are you getting something out of this all encompassing trip? You can spend your time alone redigesting past regrets, ohh, or you can come to terms and realize you're the only one who can forgive yourself. Oh. Makes much more sense to live in the present tense. Have you ideas on how this life ends? Checked your hands and studied the lines. Have you the belief that the road ahead ascends off into the light? Seems that needlessly it's getting harder to find an approach and a way to live. Are we getting something out of this all encompassing trip. You can spend your time alone redigesting past regrets, ohh, or you can come to terms and realize you're the only one who cannot forgive yourself. Oh, ohh. Makes more sense to live in the present tense. |

Habit Ecrit par: Vedder Album: No Code Date: 27 août 1996 See it happen to a couple of friends. Seen it happen and the message it sends. Takeing off for what's an obvious fall. Just to see what all the fuss is about. It's not your way. Not your way. It's not your way. Another habit says it's in love with you. Another habit says it's long overdue. Another habit like an unwanted friend. I'm so happy with my righteous self. It's not your way. Not your way. It's not your way. Never thought you'd habit. (x3) I never thought you... Never thought you. Never thought you'd habit. (x3) I never thought you... Never never thought you. Never thought you'd habit. (x6) Speaking as a child of the 90's... Never thought you'd habit. (x3) I never thought you... Never thought you. Never thought you'd habit. (x3) I never thought you... Never never thought you. Never... Never me. Never you. Never me. |

MFC Ecrit par: Vedder Album: Yield Date: 3 février 1998 Sliding out of reverse into drive. This wheel will be turning right, then straight. Off in the sunset she'll ride. She can remember a time, denied. Stood by the side of the road. Spilled like wine now. She's out on her own and line high. There's no leaving here. Ask I'm an ear. She's disappeared now. They said that timing was everything. Made him want to be everywhere. There's a lot to be said for nowhere. There's no leaving here. Ask I'm an ear. He's disappeared now. There's no leaving here. Ask I'm an ear. Fuck it. We'll disappear now. |

I Got Shit Ecrit par: Vedder Album: Merkinball Date: 5 décembre 1995 My lips are shaking my nails are bit off. Been a month since I've heard myself talk. All the advantage this life's got on me. Picture a cup in the middle of the sea.. And I fight back in my mind. Never lets me right out. I got memories. I got shit so much it don't show. Oh, I walked the lie when you held me in that night. I walked the line when you held my hand that night. On empty shell seem so easy to crack. Got all these questions. Don't know who I could even ask. So I'll just lie alone and wait for the dream where I'm not ugly and your looking at me. And I stay in bed. Oh, in a little while I'll see you. If just once I could feel love, oh, stare back at me. Yeah. But I walked the lie when you held me in that night. Oh, I walked the lie when you held my hand that night. Oh, I walked the lie when you held me close that night. I paid the price. Never held you in real life. My lips are shaking... |

Wishlist Ecrit par: Vedder Album: Yield Date: 3 février 1998 I wish I was a neutron bomb, for once I could go off. I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on. I wish I was a sentimental ornament you hung on the Christmas tree. I wish I was the star that went on top. I wish I was the evidence, I wish I was the clouds. Or 50 million hands upraised and open toward the sky. I wish I was a sailor with someone who waited for me. I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me. I wish I was a messenger, and all the news was good. I wish I was the full moon shining off a Camaro's hood. I wish I was an alien at home behind the sun. I wish I was the souvenir you kept your house key on. I wish I was the pedal brake that you depended on. I wish I was the verb "to trust" and never let you down. I wish I was a radio song the one that you turned up. |

Insignificance Ecrit par: Vedder Album: Binaural Date: 16 mai 2000 All in all it's no one's fault. Excuses turn to carbon walls. Blame it all on chemical intercourse. The swallowed seeds of arrogance breeding in the thoughts of ten-thousand fools that fight irrelevance. The full moon is dead skin. The one down here's wearing thin. So set up the ten pins as the human tide rolls in. Like a ball that's spinning. Bombs dropping down overhead. On the ground. It's instilled to want to live. Bombs dropping down. Please forgive our hometown in our insignificance. "Turn the jukebox up," he said. Dancing in irreverence. Play C-3. Let the song protest. The plates began to shift. Perfect lefts come rolling in. I was alone and far away, hey. When I heard the band start playing. On the lip they take off. Bombs dropping down overhead. Underground. It's instilled to want to live. Bombs dropping down. Please forgive our hometown in our insignificance. |

Rearviewmirror Musique: Vedder, Gossard, Ament, McCready, Abruzzese Paroles: Vedder Album: Vs Date: 19 octobre 1993 I took a drive today. Time to emancipate. I guess it was the beatings, made me wise. But I'm not about to give thanks or apologize. I couldn't breathe. Holding me down. Hand on my face. Pushed to the ground. Enmity gauged. United by fear. Forced to endure what I could not forgive. I seem to look away. The wounds in the mirror waved. It wasn't my surface. Most defiled. Head at your feet. Fool to your crown. Fist on my plate. Swallowed it down. Enmity gauged. United by fear. Tried to endure what I could not forgive. Yeah. Saw things... (x4) ...clearer. (x2) Oh, once you were in my Rearviewmirror. I gathered speed from you fucking with me. Once and for all I'm far away. Hard to believe. Finally the shades are raised. Hey, yea. Saw things so much clearer once you, once you... Rearviewmirror. Saw things so much clearer once you, once you... Rearviewmirror. Saw things so much clearer once you, once you... Rearviewmirror. Saw things so much clearer once you... Oh yeah. |

Sleight Of Hand Musique: Ament Paroles: Vedder Album: Binaural Date: 16 mai 2000 Routine was the theme. He'd wake up wash and pour himself into uniform. Something he hadn't imagined being. As the merging traffic passed he found himself staring down at his own hands. Not remembering the change. Not recalling the plan. Was it? He was okay but wondering about wandering. Was his age by consequence or was he moved by sleight of hand? Mondays were made to fall. Lost on a road he knew by heart. It was like a book he read in his sleep. Endlessly. Sometimes he hid in the radio watching other pull into their homes. While he was drifting. On a line of his own. Off the line of the side. Bye the by. As dirt turned to sand. As if moved by sleight of hand. When he reached the shore of his clip on world he resurfaced to the norm. Organized his few things. His coat and keys. And he knew realizations would have to wait. Till he had more time. More time. A time to dream to himself. He waves goodbye to his self. I'll see you on the other side. Another man moved by sleight of hand. |

Light Years Musique: Vedder, Gossard, McCready Paroles: Vedder Album: Binaural Date: 16 mai 2000 I've used hammers made out of wood. I have played games with pieces and rules. I undeciphered tricks at the bar. But now you're gone. I haven't figured out why. I've come up with riddles and jokes about war. I figured out numbers and what they're for. I've understood feelings and I've understood words but how could you be taken away? And wherever you've gone and wherever we might go. It don't seem fair. Today just disappeared. Your lights reflected now. Reflected from afar. We were but stones. Your light made us stars. With heavy breath awakened regrets. Back pages and days alone that could have been spent together but we were miles apart. Every inch between us becomes light years now. No time to be void or save up on life. Oh, you got to spend it all. And wherever you've gone and wherever we might go. It don't seem fair. You seem to like it here. Your lights reflected now. Reflected from afar. We were but stones. Your light made us stars. And wherever you've gone and wherever we might go. It don't seem fair. Today just disappeared. Your lights reflected now. Reflected from afar. We were by stones. Your light made us stars. |

Timeless Melody Ecript par: The Las A melody always finds me Whenever the thought reminds me Breakin' the chain inside my head A melody chord unwinds me The rhythm of life unties me Brushin' the silent time away If you look with your mind Do you know what you will find Open your mind A even the words they fail me Oh quite and still they sail me I never say what I want to say It's only away believe me If only the world could see me Promise I'd send the word away If you look with your eyes Do you know what you will find Open your mind A melody always finds me Whenever the thought reminds me A breaking the chain inside my head A melody chord unwinds me The rhythm of life unties me Bustin' the silent time away If you look with your mind Do you know what you will find Open your mind Open your mind |

I can kill cause in god I trust. It's evolution baby. I'm a piece of the man. I buy stocks on the day of the crash. On the loose. I'm a truck. All the rolling hills I'll flatten 'em out.

Black Musique: Gossard Paroles: Vedder Album: Ten Date: 27 août 1991 Sheets of empty canvas. Untouched sheets of clay were laid spread out before me as her body once did. All five horizons revolved around her soul. As the earth to the sun. Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn. Ooh, and all I taught her was everything. Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore. And now my bitter hands shade beneath the clouds of what was everything. All the pictures have all been washed in black. Tattooed every day. I take a walk outside. I'm surrounded by some kids at play. Oh, I can feel their laughter. Oh, so why do I sear? Ooh, and twisted thoughts that spin around my head. I'm spinning. Oh, I'm spinning. How quick the sun can drop away. And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass of what was everything. All the pictures have all been washed in black. Tattooed everything. All the love gone bad turned my world to black. Tattooed all I see. All that I am. All I'll be. Yeah. Uh huh... Uh huh... Ooh. I know someday you'll have a beautiful life. I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky but why, why, why can't it be, oh, can't it be mine? Oh... Ohh yeah oh. Do do do do do do do |
