But c'mon, the best moment in Backspacer? 6/12 in Philly when we realized we were the first ones to hear "The End."
That was amazing - if I remember correctly people didn't even clap for about 2-3 seconds after the song was over b\c everyone was pretty much stunned - it was a really noticeable pin drop kind of feeling - I know I was thinking - "Oh my God , what did I just experience?!?!" Hearing it that way for the first time was so special - one of my most memorable concert moments ever!
I love the line "dream of dreams of other men, you'll be no one's rival"
WHAT A LYRIC !

I love the chord progression and drums on Johnny Guitar when Ed sings the "First 30 years or more I loved her so..." and "Cause for years I had been hoping..."
It's catchy, yet has that weird (but not too weird) Matt Cameron tempo thing going on.
So this life is sacrifice...

"did i say that i need you, ohhhh! did I say that I want you. if i didnt im a fool, you see..."

"gems and rhinestones"
is def. a climax of the album.

Haven't heard anyone mention this: For me it might very well be the 0:27 mark in The End. Second verse, when the instruments all come. It's magical, and makes me want to weep and jump up and down at the same time. There's something really... theatrical about it that I really appreciate.

yeah thats what i was talking about. that song rocks.
Never been compelled to post before but this album has made me do it! Dunno about the rest of ya, but when I first heard Mike's solo in Amongst the Waves I thought it a little too understated. Then about the fifth time in it occurred to me that it was perfect. If he'd ripped into it McHendrix style it would have ruined it. The first 3-5 seconds give me shivers of anticipation. (There, kept it on-topic. ) Definitely one for the 'less is more' category.

That one ain't too shabby, either.
for the least they could possibly do
the jam in the middle of supersonic.
