Rumoured for inclusion on the bands forthcoming tenth album Lightning Bolt, Of the Earth was first performed live in 2010. The song was demoed during the self titled Avocado sessions, and its easy to hear how it would fit with those tracks. Despite early reservations from some fans as to its quality, it has gone on to claim cult status with bootleg collectors. Its difficult to see how it can live up to live recordings, with Mike McCready even stating Eddie Vedder is not sure of the song appearing on the new album for precisely this reason. However, unlike Last Soldier, this one will probably taste just as good in live form for fans.
