    I was going to say this one as well. I was at that show. All of us followed Ed's wrong lyrics and totally messed up the whole first half of the song. Was awesome.

    Ed says "this one's for the connisseur" before the band breaks out w/Alone.
    Midway through the song Ed forgets the 2nd verse, mumbles a bit, can't remember the lyrics and the band just stops playing. The crowds going nuts yelling "play it again" so after about a minute they launch right back into the spot they left off and finish up beautifully.
    Before the next song Ed says kind of apoligitically "At least I know this one" as the first chords of Jeremy are heard, but as soon as he starts to sing he forgets the opening lyrics to this one too. hee-hee.
    one of my fave pj concert moments

    betterman at msg 2 08. Ed sings the second verse and catches himself right away. band restarts the song and goes on to be a great version of betterman i've witnessed.

    BOOTLEG FANS CHALLENGE!!!

    Create a setlist with the usual songs where Ed messes up the lyrics. This would create the ultimate trainwreck concert. It would be a great novelty two disc set for the hardcore fans.

    Somebody get on this!!!

    Also at his solo show in Honolulu in '09 he just couldn't remember the words to Crazy Mary so he pulled a fan up on stage who sat on the floor in front of him and coached him through it.

    lol! Just listened to it... Funny! I personally get a kick out of them screwing up. It's endearing more than anything else.

    +1 That was one of the best PJ moments for me. He made fun of himself during the song several times for f'n it up so bad, and at one point just quit singing, shrugged his shoulders and started chugging wine while the band kept playing. I was in the wings and towards the end of the show (I think during RITFW) I remember seeing Pete Sampras drinking, smoking and rocking out behind the stage. Not the best technical performance, but one of my favorite shows.

    Last Exit from Alpine I in '98, second verse, i think, he flubs it, band keeps playing a little and Ed finally says "Ah Fuck it lets go to the next one!"

    Soon Forget - pick any of a number of versions.

    I think that Ed fucks up that song more often than he gets it right. But I don't care - I've come to regard him fucking it up as part of it's charm....and his! :lol:

    The best ones are when he fucks it up so badly that he stops and makes a comment about it ("Ugh! Shit!") before continuing. :lol:

    And yes....for anyone wondering...I am easily entertained. :mrgreen:

    Sometimes, San Fran 2 06, Opened the show, to quote Ed, while the band was playing waiting for him to sing, he said "I forgot the Fucking words" so they just stop playing, then it was on to the next song

    Pretty bad.

    Also vote for State College Satans Bed (which wasn't so much a lyrical flub as a we haven't practiced this together at all in 8 years but we will play it anyway flub)

    And Las Vegas Last Kiss (missed two out of three verses I think)

    I was at all 3 of these shows! I'm are there are more from shows I've never even heard the bootleg of...

    But... How has no one mentioned Alive from the 2000 tour in, I think, Spain or maybe England? Alive! The song played more than any other! What a fuck up. It's maybe the funniest flub.

    And on Sometimes... That is the only time I've heard that song. :( well, 1/3 of it....

    San Sebastian and Dublin were both terrible. San Sebastian was the worst of the 2, I think the whole band just fucked up Alive!

    Didn't he essentially cut Off He Goes in half at one of the Gorge shows by screwing the lyrics up twice?
