    Any Traffic tune would be awesome, but Dear Mr. Fantasy would be ideal for PJ. Unless they wanted to do John Barleycorn acoustic......

    i love, love, love blind faith, traffic, winwood/clapton....amazing musicians, songwriters, singers.
    that said, i just cannot imagine ed singing any song that winwood sings. their voices are SO different, winwood at much higher registers...so yea.......LOVE the tune, but just not for ed imo.


    btw - same deal with ed singing covers of the police. did NOT work for me. just my 2 cents.


    now this:

    i could hear. it's sung so differently from dear mr. fantasy....i could 'hear' ed doing it, and i just think - musically, it's a better fit for ed and pj.



    btw - isn't it amazing when you think about it? winwood was 15 when he joined spencer davis group. 15. the guy was/is a musical genius.
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    I think something a little more out there would be cool, maybe an Operation Ivy song or a Minutemen song.

    With respect to EV, I don't think anyone can do "presence of the lord" but Winwood. I'd love to hear the boys give it a try though.

    everybody knows the secret
    everybody knows the score

    but do they really?

    Excellent idea. Love Traffic. And love Dear Mr. Fantasy. It's an absolute timeless, classic rock song. Pearl Jam would nail it, I bet.

    or maybe eddie could have a heart to heart with boomer and we get Blind Faith's Do What You Like :shock:

    could boom pull it off?

    would you want to hear it?

    I vote for the OP's original request and DEAR MR FANTASY!
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green
