The entire performance was acoustic and this version really shows how versatile Gossard’s guitar style is. Having only been played six times from 2003 to 2014, the most popular version of this song comes from the band’s 2003 Benaroya Hall performance. “If he’s truly out of sight, is he truly out of mind?”Īfter being left off Binaural, Fatal has become a sought after song to hear live. (In the video, you can see Gossard dance around the 1:50 mark.)

In 2013, the band performed the song on the second night of their Alpine Valley run in Wisconsin. Gossard normally stays still through most of his performances, but has been known to bust a move when the moment is right. Since 1994, it has only been played 32 times. Satan’s Bed is one of the lesser played songs from Pearl Jam’s extensive catalogue. “Who made up the myth that we were born to be covered in bliss? Who set the standard, born to be rich?”

Whether it is geeky lyrics, powerful riffs, or loud solos, Gossard brings an element to Pearl Jam that brings their well rounded sound a more quirky, but serene undertone. Gossard is celebrating his 50th birthday today, and Alternative Nation has compiled a list of our favorite Stone songs and moments to celebrate. Aside from Pearl Jam, he has been a guitarist in other prominent Seattle bands like Green River, Mother Love Bone, Temple of the Dog, and Brad.

It is no secret: Stone Gossard is one of the greatest guitarists of all time.
