Pearl Jam - It's Okay [rock]

"Daughter" is definitely one of Pearl Jam's more recognizable songs and it has been a regular on my playlists almost since I began using playlists at all. Recently I learned of Pearl Jam's 2011 live album, which was a recording from a Toronto show, entitled 9.11.2011 Toronto, Canada, and gave it a listen promptly afterwards.

Apparently in live shows, for at least the past decade, Pearl Jam plays "It's Okay", originally by former punk band Dead Moon, following "Daughter". Having never been exposed to Pearl Jam live before, I had never heard this. The effect was immediately apparent: a story of domestic violence implied by "Daughter" juxtaposed with a message of explicit love and acceptance in "It's Okay". Combine that with the crowd interaction and the actual chord transition makes the whole ordeal a very uplifting one (the crowd definitely knows what's up when those initial chords are strung).

Anyway, here's fan-recording of the 2011 show with what I presume is the album recording dubbed on top. The video begins with the tail-end of "Daughter", which is rather ominous, actually.
