I've seen Pearl Jam perform Baba live a couple of times and I have a few
different MP3s of the song. I've also seen 3EB play it on TV. Pearl
Jam does a decent job, considering that they don't have a keyboardist or
a backing tape to really play the song true to it's original flavor.
Personally though, I really like their version. On the other hand, 3EB
totally sucked when I saw them play it! The performance had no passion
or feeling.
