I agree mate. It's so detrimental to the vibe of the song.

I agree, but he's been doing that live since '96.

Haven't listened, just looking at the run time and my immediate thought is "he was able to perform astral weeks and present tense in the time it should take to perform just astral weeks?"

Radio producer folk always watching the run time:)

I'm biased but he did a good job on it..id be first to say if he fucked it up, honestly.

I wouldnt have posted it if he fucked it up in fact.

I'll listen, but the desk I'm at right now strips out one channel, instead of summing the two into a mono feed, so it would suck here.

well he was reading the lyrics but he nailed it...he talked Ed into playing it in South America, that recording is rough, but it's 'there'..think it's the first time ed had attempted it solo..worth hearing

I have a soundboard from last nights show in Charleston if anyone wants it..this wasnt played, or maybe it was, i havent checked..

Agree on the 'not aging well' and also on the cursing.

Love the Letterman 06 version though - excellent.

I'm not sure. At least 3 of those would be in it, though.

Present Tense
Sleight of Hand
Immortality

Maybe No Way as well, but I'd have to give it some more thought. No Way used to be my number 1 Pearl Jam song.
