PJ just keep getting better,love this song so much.........well i actually love all of BackSpacer , Just breathe is my fave.....hearing it live in Melbourne was magical
Hold on to the thread....The currents will shift....Glide me towards you....
Yeah I think the majority of BS songs (if not all) come across so much better live than the previous record too.
Ed stuffed the lyrics to Amongst the Waves nearly everytime on the Aus/NZ tour from memory
Especially in Adelaide
Amongst the Waves live in Brisbane sounds a bit average ..
Da Fixa was great live though. It had me pogo'ing.

Check out the beginning of Got Some. Ed makes some classic noises especially the Grrrr.....may be the best one on tour. Adel or Perth he made a weird arsed sound too
Amongst the Waves was ruined for me in Brisbane because at that time some spaced out dude told us he was going to jump the front barrier and get on stage and kept asking Dallas to give him a foothold over. Kept saying he'd done it before and that the security were useless and that he was going to get on stage and dance with Ed. We spent 5 minutes talking him out of it then he disappeared. A few minutes after that we saw him on the other side of the barrier being dragged off by security.

Amongst The Waves and Unthought Known are classic PJ songs
My favorites on the album for sure.

I absolutely love the 'I can see the light coming through the clouds in rays' part @ 3:07-- I always get that 'holy shit' feeling in your gut during that line!

ATW doesnt hold a candle to older PJ songs in the same vein, and is unbelievably paint-by-the-numbers. a real dissappointment. With the cheesy surfing lyrics, it just doesnt have the weight of a truly great epic like GTF or Alive.

Agreed.
I'd add The End to that list also
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
All those yesterdays
All those yesterdays
All those paper plates
Speed of Sound, Just Breathe....
That's ridiculous, terrible opinion. It is a wrong opinion. You are wrong.

Speed of Sound
sorry. IMO
The only good part IMO of ATW is the Solo in the middle.
