I would actually break down in tears if I ever heard the band play this song live...

River of deceit by Mad Season.

I have always thought it would not only be a KILLER song to throw into a setlist as an encore, but also a very nice, touching, classy tribute to Layne.

It makes a lot of sense if you think about it. Mike wrote the music, so it's as much *his* as it was *Layne's*, and the band already pays tribute to Andy and MLB with Crown of thorns...

Can you imagine a second encore with Crown of Thorns, AND then Mike starts playing that beutiful intro to River of deceit? The place would fucking ERUPT!

Just a thought...

    I too would love to see that....maybe Bonnaroo?
    If I remember correctly, Mike hits just a few notes of it at the end of YL at one of the Gorge shows or maybe Portland....I can't remember, surely somebody else has heard it
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    Yeah, I think it was one of the Gorge shows. I got a fucking chubby when I heard it...

    My feeling is they've never really paid tribute to Layne in a live setting. I know that Ed did 4-20-02, but correct me if I'm wrong, but he's never played it live...Ed's voice fits perfectly with River of deceit, 80 % of the crowd or more would INSTANTLY recognize it, and it would go down as one of the greatest, most heart-wrenching moments in PJ history...

    As much as I love "That Boy"s voice, I am not sure how he would sing that? Don't get me wrong, I LOVE LOVE LOVE River of Deceit and I would be up there crying with you even if I heard the opening notes, but really, I can't picture our boy singing that song. Then again, he's got the golden chords and for all we know, he can sing anyfuckingthing! So yeah, bring it on!

    I understand you're point, but I think technically speaking, Ed's voice is much closer to Layne's than it is to Andy's, and we all know he pulls off Crown of thorns...I wouldn't want Ed to mimic Layne, I'd want him to make it his own.(isn't that EXACTLY what Ed talks about in 4-20-02?)

    I agree completely, ed and the boys really could make this cover one of their best....
