The best post-Backspacer setlist/performance combination? I'm willing to say yes.
I don't listen to any post-backspacer bootlegs, but it's pretty cool that this one would be ranked as one of the better ones as I was there. I vividly remember not believing my ears when Matt broke out that ridiculous roll in Habit. I was speechless. I didn't know PJ had a cool moment like that left in them.
This was just on Sirius XM. I dont know. Ed is pretty brutal for most of it.
I've grown accustomed the fact that Ed's voice has changed and that's just how he sounds now.
I was also thinking whilst listening that Ed's voice doesnt have to be that bad. He could easily tone everything down and still deliver a wonderful performance. The guy doesn't give his voice a break. Everything turns into a sing along, he doesnt leave any space for the instruments anymore and fills the non lyric sections by dragging out words and syllables and adding yea yea yea's. He is continually out of breath because of this.
This is mostly a side point but.....
Its really unfortunate. he just needs to settle the fuck down and concentrate and delivering a succinct performance.
In any case, I think i've heard better Performances than the Hamilton show.

BUT 5H IS NEVER INCORRECT I'M GOING TO BAN YOU FROM THE INTERNET FOREVER FOR SPEAKING ILL OF ALL THE HARD WORK CARYN ROSE DID!
Hi, I've been reading RM off and on for years and I want you to know that I finally made an account so I could tell you at this post. I read 5H and had an account on their message board (MFC, I think it was called) and between some of their show reviews (endless crying), elite attitude (they were there for the "Breath" sign campaign and you weren't), and banning people for simply disagreeing with some of their opinions, that place was what the kids call "cray."
I randomly picked one from the 2006 tour and I think they're playing the whole ST album O__O
The show has been pretty amazing so far starting with huge hits Go, Corduroy, Animal, Elderly woman, then into ST.....Its great hearing them play a live album like this at a time when Eddie could still sing.
I remember those first half a dozen songs being really well played
A bit sloppy but passionate versions. I remember being stunned that the main set for the first 12 tracks was mostly pre 95 material excepting Got Some and Fixer. It felt like the band had an agenda and Light Years explained that.
