I knew it was coming but man, they edited the fuck out of that shit.

Especially Letterman's speech and Ed's speech (where the best part was him talking about Letterman). Oh and Stone's thank you rundown completely cut!!

Luckily we got to hear what every member of Yes got to say about their career though. And Lenny Kravitz with his halfass Prince "tribute" and... and... who else can I talk shit about?

Anyway, if you haven't already, go to YouTube and watch the videos from that night.

Ugh. Lame. Dammit.

Can you post a link (links?) to a good, full video of the entire PJ portion through to the finale?

Jeez Eddie sounded HORRIBLE <_<

Pretty good on the beginning of betterman, but Given to Fly was HORRENDOUS.

The guy just can't sing anymore.

But holy heck Yes was AMAZING O_O. Ive never heard them live before but the singer was pretty old and he sounded better than the studio version to me, I thought that live Roundabout was astonishingly good, and this is a song that came out 20 years before PJ had their first album. They stole the show IMO.

Nah, Ed sounded good other than a few high notes in Given to Fly. Very few vocal tics.

This kind of exchange is in so many PJ threads lately. Ed sounded good. Ed sounded like shit. Ed sounded decent. Ed sounded terrible.

I think you guys really need to watch the HBO version before you compliment Eddie's vocals

I found this one on youtube:



Given to Fly was the worst, but I find moments of Better Man pretty rough too.

It's like he can barely stay in tune for two words.

This song used to be a HIGHLIGHT. I watched the pinkpop 2000 video and his voice was so powerful/beautiful, it makes this song something special. He no longer sounds good. He is not a good singer right now.

3:20-3:32 :shock:
3:53-4:15 isn't AWFUL, but it just hurts me because that part used to sound amazing and now sounds like nothing.

And omg, 5:34-6:00 I feel like somebody's senile grandpa is up on stage trying to be Eddie Vedder. <_<. its just...uncomfortable.

6:29-6:34 :shake:

And then he groans like a dying animal for a while to end it.

But I will say his energy onstage is great. Hes exciting to watch. The band sounds good. I love him rocking at the end. They're a great touring band, its just a shame that he literally cannot sing anymore <_<

Thanks for posting that video. I didn't think it was anywhere near as bad as you guys had made out. Keep in mind that the vocal mix on this broadcast is horrible - making his voice sound more 'thin' that usual. Also - his voice has always taken a few shows to warm up, so being a bit off for a one-off show like this is to be expected these days.
