"Why Go" is the fourth song off Pearl Jam's debut album Ten. The song was played live from its debut in 1990 up until 1995 where it was dropped. The song made its appearance again in 2003 twice. The first time that year in Bristow, the song missed most of the odd bars of 9/8 giving it a straighter feel. Also, the full band started the song without the Bass/Drums intro. Before the song was played, lead singer Eddie Vedder admitted "We don't know if it's going to be all right, playing this song is going to be like trying to drive a car when we're twelve." [1] The song has since returned to Pearl Jam set lists and has been played many times during the 2006 tour. [2]
