"Alone" is a Pearl Jam song which originally appeared as a B-side on the "Go" single. "Alone" was originally a Ten outtake. The Ten take, however, was not used for the "Go" single. Instead, another take recorded in 1992 with drummer Dave Abbruzzese was used. Abbruzzese gets writing credit for this song because it wasn't published until 1993 (when all members were getting equal credit), even though it was written a year before he joined the band and was originally recorded with drummer Dave Krusen. A different version of "Alone" can be found on the Lost Dogs album. The music from this version is from the original Ten sessions (thus featuring Dave Krusen on drums) and is shorter than the "Go" single version. This version also has new vocals and slightly different lyrics.[1] After the band's April 17, 1994 show at the Paramount Theater, the song was not played for over ten years. The song finally made a return appearance at the band's September 29, 2004 show in Boston. A live performance of "Alone" can be found on the Live at the Gorge 05/06 box set.
