best live lyric change

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

    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).

    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...

    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.

    I've heard it at least twice, most recently on the Jones Beach boot (#40 from 2000) in the car this morning on the way to work.

    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...

    For me it's footsteps from the 7-11-03 Mansfield Mass. show. Instead of singing let me continue to blame you he changes it to let me continue I need to continue theres questions I need from you let me to continue to ask you.
    Seems the more you make
    equals the loneliness you get
  • Mr PyjamaMr Pyjama Posts: 253
    I'm not sure of the show, but in a DTE, instead of the "if this is a church let's sing in the choir" he sings: "I'm George Bush and my son is an asshole!"

    That's great.
    Situations get fucked up and turned around sooner or later...
