I have heard stories of people requesting it before shows and Ed telling them that his voice just isn't up to it. That would also explain why such an amazing and beautiful song has become a rarity.

Thanks PJ for that in Hartford, it was amazing, and Ed's words leading in.
I too cringe when I hear him do certain songs. For me, I don't need to hear him scream or strain his voice. It is just very beautiful and I would be fine with letting some of the songs like that go rare to insure his voice stays so. Can times be a changin now? Really its ok maybe its time.
I believe on this tour Comatose and Life Wasted were both tuned down from their original tunings. That ususally is a good indication that the singer can't sing in that key anymore. Which is a HUGE bummer imo. I liked the grittier slightly more pissed off Ed. And I'm having a hard to dealing with the idea that Ed can't get there vocally anymore. It's bothersome. Later
