that's a nice performance of Thin Air, but it captures (for me, anyway) how curiously flat and devoid of emotion I find that song.
I wasn't there for Bugs (I picked the wrong night for that stand of shows), but what an experience that sounds like it was. I'm going to support Bugs. That was a moment in a way the Thin Air performance is not. Plus Ed is really selling the shit out of that performance.

Bugs is delightfully weird. It's not a great song, but it's unique and bizarre. Thin Air trends far more towards the generic, and I've never been excited to see it on a setlist.

I really like both of these songs. I'm voting for Thin Air, but I think I could have voted for Bugs if it wasn't performed by Party Time Pearl Jam.

Thin Air though Ed does quite well on that version of Bugs.

I attended both shows. I’m voting Bugs - not the most spot on performance but astonishing bravery to pull that one off.
