...is really good. Interesting approach on the guitar, and some really nice vocal changes.

Eh. I don't like how he's using his speaking register during the first verse. The guitar work is really sloppy. He's playing it too fast.

Guys, Skitch Patterson is right.

I pretty much love about everything Ed did on his solo tours. This included.

I went to a couple of his shows and he played Blackbird at one of them. Like Monkey Driven I pretty much love any of the Ed solo stuff and this was the one song that was in my head at the end of the night.

i don't really remember how he did it, but when he played it here i went nuts.

His cover of Can't Help Falling in Love from the Memphis show was very good too.

Yeah, he did that a few times that tour...a couple of them were sketchy, but that one in the lower register was perfect, such a beautiful version.

I hold out zero hope of this happening, but man i would kill for some sort of official boot/DVD release from those Ed solo shows.

Ship Song and Hurt are still two of my favorite covers from those tours.

I haven't heard his Hurt - I tried looking for it a little when I saw it on the setlists but to no avail. His Ship Song is awesome though.

nin's hurt?

Yeah. This is the first time I'd heard it:

damn, i didn't know he did that one.

yea you guys gotta get your hands on the chicago show. Excellent quality, amazing set


Hurt, Ship Song, betterman "lullaby" version, helpless

boom

I am pretty much a ed covers fanboy, but this is awful.

I love The Beatles, and I love Eddie Vedder, and I love covers in general, but this was turrble. I was so pumped when I hit play too.

hurt was pretty good. I really should track down these shows.

I agree...as much as i love the original, this was not one of his best covers.

He also nails Springsteen for the most part. I love his Atlantic City....he also covered State Trooper, No Surrender and Bobby Jean i think.
