...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.

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.

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.

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.
