    its not our decision to make and ultimately it really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. imo

    also, if it means they can now perform deeper cut vault tracks, then sign me up to that

    ed using a teleprompter is like major league baseball having instant reply. no way. it makes two of my favorite things very "human".

    I totally agree, I would say they shy away from some deeper cuts because of this. If it means a teleprompter, I am for it too.

    And I think it is funny that people get mad because he messes up lyrics, he not only has the words to the entire PJ catalog, he has all his solo stuff, all the covers and who knows how many other songs he knows.

    I don't see how a tele is any different than his notebook.
    You often see him singing a song and staring at the floor (aka, reading every word from his notebook).
    Personally I'd rather he read it from a tele...at least it looks as if he remembers! :lol:

    Hell, he had lyrics written on his hand when he sang Comfortably Numb with Roger Waters.

    F it. I say no tele, no notebook....all lyrics must be written on his hands! :lol:

    Haha, yes, he had a few words written on the hand. But Thank God he didnt need to check them...

    no! The screw ups are apart of what make shows unique. Makes it real. After a couple bottles of wine I don't think the prompter would matter anyway. :lol:

    Should Ed have skipped 121212 b/c he needed to write the lyrics on his hand?
    Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.

    Personally, I think the whole band should mime. In addition to Ed's flubs I have noticed Mike often goes off on one and starts playing notes that aren't on the cd's (witness 'Porch') and other times where he forgets the end of songs and adds random shit in ('Yellow Leadbetter' and 'Daughter' being prime examples).

    Time to stop this nonsense! :fp:

    Like when he starts the one solo on a J rather than an E and I'm always like, WTF, I didn't even know that note existed... :think:
