    I don't get what the deal is, I though Ed looked and sounded great.

    There were a couple of instance when he sounded a little hoarse. But only a couple. People here make it sound like he was William Hung or some bullshit.

    As far as looked ... yeah, he looked fine. I don't know what people are talking about in that regard. Maybe some people haven't seen him since '92? I dunno.

    I am confused about why people are saying how he looked - I actually thought his arms looked bigger like he has been lifting or something (but I could just be delusional) so I don't get the references to him not looking good. I'm a guy so I don't really care how Ed looks as long as he is healthy and singing with PJ.

    2009 Eddie definitely looks like he could kick 2006 Eddie's ass.

    It looked gooooood! :P

    I think Stone is looking so so young and 'fresh' recently - it must be the hair!

    Mike was looking good too - hell they were all looking good to me!

    i felt a little "old"
    not because Pearl Jam is aging gracefully
    but because i recognized the patch on ed's t-shirt as being Felix the Cat
    a cartoon a used to watch when i was MUCH MUCH younger
    :lol::lol::lol::lol:



    I was thinking the same exact thing.
    I can't believe someone else noticed that. :lol:

    I also agree that Ed seems to have put on some weight. It was my first impression watching their performance last night, but he is turning 45 yrs old later this year and has kids now. Is it me or is he starting to look more and more like Russell Crowe?
    Every time a new tour starts up, it's the same conversation. Every time. Check him out by the time the tour is over. He'll be back down by 20 lbs. I guarantee it.

    I Agree. I think he looked hot.
    If you listen to the song in the mp3 version that someone had on the web last night. You'll see it sounds a lot better than what was on television. I don't know what the problem was with the audio.

    Ed is rarely in top form whenever they appear on a chat show before the album is released and before the tour starts.

    It usually takes him a few shows to get back into the swing of it and then he's on fire.

    Agreed. I couldn't understand why people were ripping on him so bad last night, it was lame. As a musician I know how hard it would be to jump on stage cold after a quick rehearsal earlier and then tear into a song that aggressive. Also consider the band hasn't played at all together live this year.
    I bet the vocals on the new album and on tour will be rock solid. I'm also certain Ed will get back out surfing and do some conditioning for the upcoming tour.

    Ed always sounds a bit off when they haven't been on the road in a while. Anyone who's been to a show knows not to take those TV appearences for anything. Ed ALWAYS sounds amazing when he gets going & the songs don't even get to show their true colors till you hear them live. So many different things appear when you hear a song in person. I can tell this new song is gonna be so hard hitting and energetic live! These guys ROCK & they always will!!!

    It sucked watching ed last night..lol i realized that we are all getting old.....
    The band was rocking for sure......, but ed looked and sounded about the same as mick Jagger.
    It reminded me of when i saw robert Plant solo, and he tried to sing some older hard rocking zepplin tunes.
    He just couldnt do it....still entertaining though....

    But i still have hope,,,,cause i remember PJ when they were last on saturday night live. Ed's voice sounded off, and could not keep up with the band. Then when i saw a few shows that tour....well HE WAS FCKING AMAZING LIVE.

    So lets hope it was the tempo of the new song, and tv sound that made subpar.


    I swear to god some of the posters on here are slower than a gas less lawn mower... TV SHOWS ALWAYS HAVE SHITTY MIXES... fuck.. ed sounded great in 08, doubt it changed that much .. think before you post people

    2009 Eddie definitely looks like he could kick 2006 Eddie's ass.

    1993 Eddie would get drunk on a case of Heineken then proceed to kick both their asses, then criticize Dave Abbruzzese for something he didn't do.

    Well, they get older (we all have to face this...) but they are still Pearl Jam. And one should not judge from one performance, especially not from one on TV.
    You can spend your time alone, re-digesting past regrets,
    Or you can come to terms and realize
    You're the only one who can't forgive yourself

    This thread is why rags like "People" magazine sell millions of copies... Some are a little too obsessed how thin & young the band looks. What's that got to do with their music...Its pretty disrespectful, IMO.
