I never loved Pearl Jam but I remember watching this when it first aired and being floored. The performance wasn't long after 9/11, amazing song, heartfelt performance, a little out of tune, abrupt ending "I'll stand over your grave till I'm sure that you're dead"... All adds to the mystique. Throw on top of that the fact that the song is over 40 years old & it's still relevant today. Yeah, just one of those times the tide turned in my mind.
