Ed's Voice @ Wrigley

Just got back. I've seen PJ/EV every year since 08. Wrigley was the best i have heard him yet. Sounded really good. Anyone else notice this? Just seemed markedly improved and really clear. Evolution was by far better than the versions I had seen live before (only a couple admittedly).
I always thought he sounded good, but I just noticed an improvement tonight (like a revert to 2006-ish).
Wondering if anyone else thought the same?

That said, tonight he sounded the best I've heard him since '00-'03. He was pretty much spot on the whole night!
i thought about this..and then i did a memory comparison to pj20, and wrigley > pj20, but yes i think that is probably at least a part of it.
No, I think he's taking better care of his voice. Less smoking might be a part of it.

I'm fairly certain this is the reason. I don't remember him lighting one up in London during the show.

I'm seriously hoping that is the case.
MIKE WAS A MADMAN
maybe not playing so much guitar helped him focus, he barely played last night
Yes! I am loving this. I mean it was a clear improvement so I am just loving it. I don't know if i can properly convey my excitement, but there is just something about seeing the band you love and, 5 years after my first show, see the BEST performance yet. Wonderful.
During Mike's solo in Even Flow he did at the back of the stage

On the topic of Ed smoking... something I know is a touchy subject around here... Anyway, from what I gather from old interviews, Ed been trying to quit smoking for years... I remember reading an interview from 2004 w/ Carrie Brownstein from SK... I remember he said he was getting hypnotized or something to aide w/ quitting... I know when Johnny Ramone died @ 55 that really sparked him to want to quit too... this is all from interviews I've read. He started smoking to deal w/ Kurt Cobains death if I remember correctly which is kind of sad that had so much of a lasting effect on him.
