    Yeah, what was up with the echo?
    noticable... but i dont think it hurt the song any

    Yes, it did.

    The Mix was off. Eddie sounded flat. The echo thing sucked.

    I don't think it sounded good at all :(
    We are spoiled with awesomely mixed boots. They've never sounded good on TV. This is nothing new and to be expected.

    well that one time w/neil young, rockin in the freeworld

    wow.....i don't think i've ever been more underwhelmed by a PJ performance. why the FUCK didn't they go with force of nature????? could have packed such a punch! maybe it was th mixing (a la got some on conan) but i literally sat there feeling NONE of the raw power and beauty that unthought known carries on backspacer. i just think this was poor song choice given the platform. on national TV you've GOT to go heavy....im even thinking GSMF would have been a good choice. maybe i'll get burned for this but man that was not impressive at all!

    ....just my opinion and I still love them.

    Def too much reverb/echo but that was an awesome performance. Ed was so good on UK.

    The only good skits tonight were the Broadview security system skit and the Weekend update. Everything else was torture.

  • Did anybody else notice that Ed was not adding as much flourish in his voice as he normally does? I liked it.

    I'm glad they did Unthought Known, although I do wish they'd done something faster like Supersonic...

    I disagree. It made that part of the song seem fake.
    It was a good performance, just not a great one.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    Because Force of Nature is a boring straight forward rocker.

    It's ok, but the band rarely plays it because it gets boring.
