    I left after DOTC.  Very disappointed in the pre-recorded vocals. A travesty of epic proportions or so I thought at the time.  If not for the fence I would have walked straight into the ocean.   Now I realize I was wrong.  Oops.  
    I love this board.

    Jesus, you all take this so seriously and to heart, it's a God damn concert with a band you enjoy.  Some shows (particularly outside events) may require more producing.  You left after the first song, after all that money you paid?  I live in NJ and don't like festival shows, so I sat this one out.  Wow, just wow.  
    Don't come closer or I'll have to go

    Bootlegger typed that with pure sarcasm.  I know that because he was crying his eyes out when wishlist was played.  Case in point, he didn’t leave. It was a joke. ;)

    “Wow, just wow.”  Those are the exact words I said to the person next to me who was ignorantly enjoying those vocals coming from a machine.  I wondered to myself how much better life might be if I could just set aside such injustices.  I paid for a ticket after all.  

    But turns out it was a looper.  You win some, you lose some.

    You forgot sarcasm font. Ed Matt Mike Stone Jeff Boom would have sent Josh to save you from the icy Atlantic.

    Wishlist was awesome.  The tag was beautiful. Perfect night and location for that tune.   

    I loved Norm’s humor.  Would say he was my favorite comedian.

    Ha.  Was hoping the ocean comment would make sure people knew it was a joke.

    Conan pointed out that Norm and Bob Dylan says "TV" the same way -- "the teVeeee"

  • I am all for getting experimental with loops, and Arc-like vocal things and whatnot, 

    But these kind pf posts scare me:

    Who cares.  It’s not like he’s dancing on stage to a backing vocals track lip syncing

    If some backing track here and there is going to help the live experience then so be it.  How else do you expect Eddie to be able to sing many difficult PJ songs for the next 20 years

    We are moving the goalposts down a scary, scary road now Jamily.

    It doesn't get Eddie Scarier than this. 
    a post on a message board scares you?
    The worry shouldn't be whether a post like that scares me. But rather - why it doesn't scare you.

    I m thinking of starting a go fund me page for the op in order to purchase him a looper
    pedal.  Maybe he could ask his original
    question and jam around it.  I m thinking amongst the jamily we need to raise around $75 usd to change a life.  I mean there were 35,000 people at last night s show so maybe if everyone contributed 0.43 cents we could change a life.   God bless.

    Sorry I missed your "sarcasim"  sometimes that can be misconstrued as angry.  Certainly comes across online as angry.  Never funny, just angry.

    If you notice, they’re using backing tracks now. Not 100% live. Notice Ed’s vocals. At the end of DOTC... vocals coming out, Ed away from the microphone!... On Quick Escape, backing vocals, no one on the mic!! Disappointing, IMHO. 

    He is singing. He's using a loop. Josh Klinghoffer is doing backup vocals during that as well. That would be hard to do live unless they had backup singers 
    Yup. Do your homework Beavis! Haha! 
    LOL. Coffee on the keyboard. Thanks, buddy.
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    It’s only natural that playing in isolation due to social distancing Eddie would incorporate a looper. He’s been probably using it a lot lately missing his band mates.

    Um, he's used em' (and backing tracks) on solo tours. 'Hard Sun' or 'Arc' anyone? Also, anyone been to a U2 show lately? Was it awesome?
