Did Ed sound better in 2014 than 2013??
Could just be me, but I feel like Ed sounded way better on the 2014 leg than the 2013 leg? I could just be crazy. Gimme your opinions.

Also, it's been speculated on here multiple occasions that ed had some vocal cord help. I have to think so. Those philly 09 boots are not a great version of Ed and there are many more in the 09-11 era like that.
People love the three hour shows, myself included. But I bet his voice would hold on better if they went back to the 1:45-2:15 sets like in 96-2000.
It's interesting, I love it when pj plays as long as they can, but with other Artists I am "all set" after the two hour mark. Foo's are a great example... Great show, but it gets to feel pretty redundant after so long.

But I feel of the top of my head these years were lowpoints for him; 2008, 2009, 2011, 2013.
But only heard a selection of shows.
I don't feel like Eddie's voice was bad in 2013 for any reason other than insanely long shows for that tour, coupled with barely knowing how to sing anything from LB. Some of those LB songs in 2013 were absolute train wrecks, but not because his vocal chords couldn't handle it. He just couldn't find the right key! Although by the end of that tour, on the West Coast, his voice was going because the long long shows were taking their toll. Smoking or no smoking (not that it helps), those marathon shows would batter anyone's voice. That's why so few artists do it. Most singers could never do those kinds of 3+ hour shows, and wouldn't even try. I appreciate the effort from the band, but I think everyone might benefit in the long run if they kept the shows to under 2.5 hours (which is still a super long show), and always tried to have as much time between shows as possible.
Nothing will ever top ed's vocals from 1992-1994. Some of those 94 shows have fantastic performances all around (you are missed, Dave A).
