what is your favorite line from a song that Ed has improvised live?

I'm partial to the line from comatose, the studio version is "...if its illegal to be in love"

hartford this year he sings "...if its illegal for us to fuck"
The North is to South what the clock is to time
There's east and there's west and there's everywhere life
I know I was born and I know that I'll die
The in between is mine
I am mine

    only love can break your heart
    but only love can brake your fall

    Not really a big change, and im not even sure if Ed sung it first, but i like when they play RITFW and he says 'Never get to fall in love, Never get to be YOU' (you instead of cool).

    Given to Fly: Made it to the ocean smoked a joint in a tree.

    That always brings a smile to my face.

    I know there's a live version of Evolution where he sings "I'm the first man to shit my pants." Always loved your sense of humor Eddie!!

    I'd have to say EV singing "Buy me some peanuts and crack" at Wrigley. He's always stirring shit.

    On a side note, I saw PJ at the UMB Pavilion just outside of St. Louis in 2000(?) and he announced that the Cardinals had just beaten the Mets in the MLB playoffs. The crowd erupts...until Eddie says, "Just kidding. The Mets won." Classic stuff.

    In Berlin 2006 during Daughter/W.M.A Eddie sang:

    He won the lottery when he was born
    Big hand slapped a white male American
    Do no wrong, so clean cut...
    Now our president is a big fuck up
    President
    President



    Cool stuff...
    It's not a crime to free your mind.

    Gorge 06, saturday....either 06 or the first show, can't remember now...

    "made to the river had a smoke on a cliff" during Given to Fly.

    or, during Wash

    "this planet...is burning...like my mind in ways" when it was 110 outside.

    but the Hawaii 06 version of Wishlist takes the cake I think.

    During Yellow Ledbetter at Melbourne 1 last year, security tried to boot out a bloke for smoking.

    Ed stopped singing to make sure they didn't throw him out, lit up a smoke of his own, then went on and changed the lyrics of YL to:

    Hey Mr Security Man, I know you're just trying to do your job,
    but we're all friends here, and we're about to leave for home.
    Ohhhh, yeah hey.............

    At Boston II this year (I'm sure he's done it at other places to) in Leash he says "Delight in the truth" instead of delight in our youth.
    And before his first step... He's off again...

    In Love Boat Captain at the start of a show:

    "First comes love, then comes pain. Let the show begin,..."

    instead of

    "First comes love, then comes pain. Let the games begin,..."
    Oh he fills it up with the love of a girl...
