Song of the day......Pearl Jam with "Corduroy"

Today's song of the day is from one of my favorite bands, Pearl Jam. I've seen them over ten times live, and would love to see them again some day. Today's song is off of their Vitalogy album that was released back in 1994. In the summer of '95 Pearl Jam went on tour to promote that album and played two sold out shows at Red Rocks. I was lucky enough to go to the 2nd show with my best friend, and it inspired me to want to play music. It was, and still is, one of the greatest rock concerts that I have ever been a part of. It was just a magical evening and the band had an amazing set list, and you could tell the band was playing lights out minutes into the show. To me, Pearl Jam, personifies what a live band should be about. They bring so much emotion into their live shows that it is just amazing to me. Great band. Check out "Corduroy" in this video from the concert that I was at back in 1995. Love the riff that starts this off, and it's return at the break near the end of this song.
