    I think Crazy Mary is the finest example of Pearl Jam or Ed making a cover their own. But of course, he's best when performing his own material.
    Using the word "methinks" in your message board posts doesn't make you look smart.

    so....the question is...

    ...is he better interpreting his own words, or the words of others?

    can't disagree with this, but...
    do we listen for rarities just b/c ed sings them?

    Do you think many of us wouldn't have bought those old school bootlegs back in the day for 40 bucks a pop if we didn't want to hear those rare tracks.

    I.E.

    *Doors induction
    *kids are alright
    *redemption song
    *sheraton gibson
    *baba
    *won't back down

    I think those were all on new songs III... if not its on one of those other boots i bought back then

    looking at things these days...

    as much as we long him, could he have written any of the songs above? at the same time, how many people could have written alive or black.,...
    ...but if they'd paid attention....was evenfllpw out of the rhelm of possibiliy?

    i dunno any know....

    I can't agree with Crown of thorns. He does well and and it's a decent version but it's not as good as the MLB original.

    Generally speaking though the band and Ed do amazing covers. Crazy Mary is definitely the finest example of he band making a cover their own.

    Every cover he does or PJ is better then original.

    CAN'T KEEP CRAZY MARY IN MY TREE NO WAY NOT FOR YOU. ALL THOSE YESTERDAY JEREMY is ALONE, SAD with RATS & BUGS it's HARD TO IMAGINE a JEREMY a BETTER MAN.

    Can't agree with Rocking in the free world. That song is just Neil Young all the way!

    Beisdes, I have seen bands cover this song way better than pj, especially later performances has been a bit dull.

    They COMPLETELY butchered I Believe In Miracles and should never do it again.
