It is a favorite for many, including Matt Cameron (who was Soundgarden’s drummer at the time). I distinctly remember hearing the chorus for “Evenflow” and thinking that’s HUGE. So hooky, it’s got a really rad Zeppelin huge rock feel to it. Although we’ve played it a couple of thousand times since I’ve been in the group I think that’s the quintessential Pearl Jam song. Even though it gets played out, the nuts and bolts of that song are just amazing. Fun Fact: For their first album, Pearl Jam was very efficient in the studio, getting most songs done in just a few takes. However, “Even Flow” was an exception, requiring between 50 and 100 takes. Pearl Jam was a band with itinerant drummers, and Dave Krusen, who was their stickman at the time, had a hard time with this…
