From the boot I heard of the first show in Florida, it seems Ed's voice is missing. In my opinion, he's either hit or miss, and latley he's been miss. I heard he did a great job during his solo tour, but now he's back with the band, and, I don't know, maybe he just can't hear himself that well. I wanted to see what people that have seen the shows so far think of his current voice. I'm going to Mansfield 2, so hopefully he'll have all the bugs worked out by then.

I think that Ed's best in the last ten years was from San Diego up through to Athens on the '06 tour, so nothing can compare to then in my opinion but he sounds great this year from what i'm hearing.
Might be better than it was in 2005....Which was amazing.

I'll have a better opinion after my first show tomorrow night in Camden.
I said the exact same thing. And the Bonnaroo aud boot sounds awesome.
The same was said in 95 96 98 00 03 04 05 06 07..............
Me too and I agree....sounds good to me
Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin' at me
Obviously, you are exaggerating your critical opinion when you say his voice is missing.
There's a constant ringing in my ears
Sense of humor's void and numb
And I'm bored to tears.......
Ed's voice doesn't sound good?
He sounds great. Bonnaroo sounds fantastic and so does WPB.
If you think he sounds anything other than awesome, you obviously haven't been to a live show this tour.
every tour i always fear that this will be the time when they start to lose it, but so far, it hasn't happened.
Have you heard the audience recordings yet?
To me, I hear this when I listen to 2006 boots:
1. He has zero lung capacity on alot of songs. He sounds out of breath alot lately.
2. He doesn't seem to really hold notes or pronunciate too well anymore. What I mean is when he goes from a word like "Meeeeaaahhhhhzzzz". Just sounds wierd and doesn't seem like the Ed of previous tours (i.e., on point and concise with his delivery).
3. Screaming. This is one that anyone would expect to dwindle with age and why not? He still has some good screams and yells in his pipes.
4. Ed is alot more active on stage now, dancing and playing guitar. I think that really fucks with his focus these days.
Because, based on the kind of crappy you tube videos I've seen from this tour, his voice kind of sounds, you know, better than ever.
for the least they could possibly do

Given to Fly___..
As she slams the door in his drunken face
And now he stands outside
And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
And his tears fall and burn the garden green
columbia, as has been said, i was actually surprised how great he sounded. better than i expected, even.
next day, in vabch, not so much. before jeremy, he actually said "the voice is kinda going i might need your help with this one". true, he might have been encouraging a sing-along, but he actually said his voice was giving out on him that night.
ebay isn't evil people are
The South is Much Obliged
Thought that was good....
Sounds great to me!
