November Hotel

I know there has been previous discussion about the boys covering Mad Season tunes. But I'm just watching the live at the Moore DVD and this would be an awesome (almost perfect) song for them to do. I know Eddie's feelings about the album and maybe not wanting to cover any of the songs but he wouldn't have to sing anything. It's a such a great piece of music and it kicks ass!!

With the slow build I think it would be a really good transition song coming out of the slower tunes of a first encore.
it's a fragile thing, this life we lead.

    Great song one of my favorites. Would love to hear PJ play it live!

    Maybe Pearl Jam could cover this & release this on this year's Christmas single.

    Ed will have to play the saxophone parts.

    Hopefully he's up to the task. That is some jazzy sax playing on there. Especially the live version. . .

    what are Eddie's feelings on the album? I've always wondered why they have never covered Mad Season.
    Darwinspeed, all.

  • Amazing song live. Mike was incredible. Stabbing amps and everything. Was there 3 guitar solos? Not sure PJ could match this one. So intense. Crazy times for this band. Layne, enough said.

    Exactly!! Good example!

    I've heard it said that Eddie has always felt that the album was basically perfect and couldn't be contended with on any level as far as he was concerned. I don't think I'd really enjoy him covering Layne's vocals anyway. Not really similar at all. Just seems like that's why this one is such a good fit. Plus I can really hear PJ in this particular piece of music.

    It is super intense. That Moore show is ridiculously good. I think it's just Mike and Layne playing on it though. So I think Stone could do Layne's part and Mike could just wail away per usual. . .

    November Hotel is an insturmental. How would Ed cover it?

    No I disagree.... I'd prefer the boys would do All Alone (Ed of course) into November Hotel (no Ed).... Wishfull thinking that will never happen

    That's not a bad idea either. Minimal vocals on All Alone and it would smooth the transition even more.

    Just not sure if Ed would want to do any sort of vocals but he could. All Alone almost has an Arc feel to it for me. . .

    Yeah, it does kind of have an arc feel to it I agree.
