how long has ed been doing this start-low-then-work-up-higher method of reaching the high notes? trather than coming in direct on the note (and missing it) he starts low and then gradually ups the note so he can't miss, because he just stops once he gets to the note

i feel like i have only seen this tonight for the first time

how long has this tic / trick been part of his 'hiding the fact i can't sing anymore' arsenal?

[96583UP]

still in shock at how awful the drums / tempo were on that GTF and they are already in evenflow and it's possibly more terrible

Matt Cameron should be able to do this well. He has so much control with SG.

it's just always astonishing how badly he plays with PJ

[Norah]

Ed really likes to Mariah it up on Low Light too.

[VinylGuy]

Low Light was pretty cool in Padova because he sang it in his low voice mostly. But he did that annoying ALL I FEEEEEEEELL EEEEEESSSS CAAAALM.

[96583UP]

so much to say about this horrendous version of Daughter

1) Too Fast
2) Ed's bizarre 'notfitto' speedy early delivery lyric quirk
3) Near zero-build up into the jam
4) Whatever that mangled pathetic attempt at an anti-trump improv was
5) That horrible transition from WMA jam into It's OK

[stompbox]

OMG 'made it to Fenway' lyric in GTF

Mccready needs a special guitar pedal that plays a laugh track for ed’s Old man jokes and in song references.

[gardenparty]

Yeah that it’s okay transition was the pits

[Monkey_Driven]

Amongst the Waves...ugh.

[mikejasond]

Tuned down do the evolution? :O

[96583UP]

here I am thinking 'Got Some' is their best track of the night so far

maybe they need to figure out first and then embrace who they are each evening

tonight they are suck-ass spritz-rock PJ

and that's fine

they just should stick to the Matt Cameron albums then and let their TigerBeat side ring free

quit bastardizing the Daves' and Jack albums

save those for another night when you actually have something to say

[Monkey_Driven]

What's crazy is I thought they sounded great for night one in Chicago.

[Norah]

i ham a patriot

Sounded weird

i thought they did too actually

it seems they peaked there and SafeCo 2 and now are doing a somewhat flimsy victory lap

It's almost as if taking a two week break between shows are leading to some consistency issues. I think that's the biggest difference between modern live PJ and the classic era. The consistency. They're still capable of great shows, but some real stinkers too.

I’ve found this to be true of almost every 90s band that’s still going, for obvious reasons. I’d say their batting average is still fairly high. That could be rose colored glasses, I grant you, since the one show I caught this year seems to have been the best one (Safeco II) Guess I lucked out.

[Bi_3]

Anything me. Who requests just breathe should just stop all the thibgs

[gardenparty]

Not mikes best show here

[96583UP]

Tremor Christ

Black intro sounded kinda botched, mjd

[Bi_3]

I would really like if they did the Red Rocks Jeremy.

Never thought I would say this but you have a better chance of hearing “Evil Little Goat” than that.

Yeah, I was trying to think about what rarity I would actually really want and that’s it.

Tremor Christ is what I would choose, Brother if it has to a Lost Dog. More likely we’ll get Sad, OTE, or Undone.

I have won.
