Good news, fans of excellent music!

Unemployable was performed in Pittsburgh in its recorded key for the first time since the 2006 tour.

Good ol' stumbley Ed.

They should do an ep where everythings dirty and chaotic and it doesn't matter whether ed comes in late or not, everything can be all raw and distorted and messy, and ed can sound like shit, none of this over-produced over-thought cleaned up shit, the kids'll love it, they can call it gru- oh wait.

Is eds mike louder this tour, or is the crowds recording equipment just getting better?

Immediately loved this song. Manages to sound unlike anything else they've done really, save maybe Down.

I read the beginning of this song borrows or rips off a Cream song can't remember which one.

I kind of get sort of a Pink Floyd-ish vibe from the verse riff, something from their earlier, simpler stuff.
But Cream is a good call too, I mean, style wise.

3.5-4 stars from me. It's one of the highlights off that album. Except for the 'oh oh ohs', they always threw me off. These pass for fioritures in modern music by popsies like Shania Twain and such.
