i’ve been listening to the chicago (victoria?) show alot lately…and really glad about it…the set list so rewarding…and the outro of undone made me go back to lost dogs…just awesome…and i’ve had that pendulum lyric in my head for a couple months now…coming to me at unexpected moments….overall, a truly beautiful, and overlooked, gem of a pearl jam song…

I really enjoy Riot Act too, Susan. I think the tunes are mostly very good; they’re not conventionally arranged, musically speaking, but who cares?

This tune is another one of the reasons that I wonder about the Riot Act outtakes. I’m probably one of the few people around who really enjoys Riot Act. Some of the tunes aren’t very good, but the band plays the hell out of them, and the thing works as a whole for me, but songs like UNDONE make me wonder what the other outtakes sound like. The lyrics are full of Eddie-isms, but in truth I really don’t care what the lyrics to this song are. The song as a whole gets under my skin. There’s a freedom and a sense of movement to it that you don’t feel on Riot Act. That feeling of exhilaration and hope that DOWN and UNDONE have in common are the reasons that, I guess, they weren’t included. Too bad.
