    yea, don't you?

    not many singers out there can decide.. "hmm.. i think i'll sing this one in a completely different, goofy, dorky voice" and pull it off as well as eddie.

    For me its probably Breakerfall just because that song has some pretty brutal parts and it was made when Ed's voice easily sounded the best. Oh and Ed NAILED it in Hartford, which i've seaid a million times already.


    Oh fuck....duh.... DO THE EVOLUTION. I cant believe no one said that yet.

    I dont think there are any set lyrics. And trust me, I dont want to hear it either. I wouldnt mind it if they opened up with it or played the song at a different spot in the set list. But it looks like that will be the closing song for some time to come. There is no sign that they will stop playing it. I personally wish they would, but thats my own fault because ive been to 30 shows. Ill never get on somebody for wanting to hear it. To each their own.

    "and the slower tempo gave vocalist Eddie Vedder a chance to hold back and show the gentle side of his rich, sonorous voice, thus creating a greater contrast when he kicked up the intensity."

    The older live version of Masters of War and Porch Unplugged are two pretty solid showcases of what he can do (and his voice wasn't even 100% for that Unplugged).
