Somebody needs to make a covers section and make topics for all of PJ's frequent covers. There's a topic for every album song, but their live standards deserve topics too.
ANYWAYS.
I hate this song.
Ive been to 5 PJ concerts and have gotten Chloe/Crown of Thorns twice. I should probably feel blessed but I do not. I like Chloe but Crown of Thorns is supposed to be this epic song and it does absolutely NOTHING for me. I hate it when it comes up live. I just hate it. It is one of my absolute least favorites.

You do realize the sentimental significance though, right? Right?

MLB's Chloe/Crown is wonderful. I've always liked PJ's rendition and the sentimental value is substantial. Ed has always tried to pay due respect to the song and its writer and I'm sure it is one of the more meaningful songs (to them) that they perform. 3.5 or 4 stars.

Agreed.

I wish it was only done once.

Nah, it's a cool tribute. I'm glad they play it occasionally.

Love Crown of Thorns. When they belted it out at Reading it was pretty exciting.

Wish Ed wouldn't sing Chloe in his falsetto, but otherwise this is usually a great live tune. Minus Boom's organ solo of course.

Of course. Obviously.
