I'm planning on adding Gigaton and Dark Matter discs to my 'Definitive Live' compilation after the conclusion of the 2024 tour. I still need to get around to doing a Covers disc too.

In the meantime you'll have to buy Stip and B's new book which contains my recommendations for the best Gigaton performances to date :)

i just checked this thread random and saw this..thank you sir.
and keep up all the great work.!

They were all uploaded to YouTube for the live March Madness a couple of years ago if you want to just listen online?

It's good to be reminded that there are all sorts in this world and that just because I like things a certain way it doesn't mean that way is best for everyone.

Thanks for the refresher dime, always appreciated.

The “Be Humble” tag might be as good as “Oh Great Ocean” is after One Tree Hill.

It unequivocally does...

At the same time, it relies heavily on autotune. Does this impact your appreciation of the album at all?

it would bother me if it sounded bad, but it sounds great and sounds authentic. i think it would be cooler if he could still get there unassisted but the dude is 60 years old and sounding like the best version of himself rather than using technology to sound like a 60 year trying to sound 25 is find with me. makes for a great listening experience which is what I care about

when youre driving, do you squint and turn down the radio and sush the kids when youre trying to find the right turn?

Yellow Moon is the song where autotune jumps out to me.
“earth vibraaaate”
“moooon changing shape”
“round we goooo”
“no one knoooows”
It sounds like a slight unnatural wobble in his voice when he holds the longer notes.

I don’t really notice it otherwise. What’s the earliest example of Ed using it? Backspacer?
