    Can anyone appreciate how hard it is to sing this song while plucking that guitar the way he did? This is so hard to do!

    John does an exceptional job here I think
    It's obvious he's struggling, whether it's vocal fatigue, an early hint of the granuloma etc I still think he did an amazing job, still giving his all both vocally and instrumentally and for that, I have nothing but the utmost respect for him
    Get well soon John, the world is waiting

    I respect everything about this man, I've always aspired to reach his philosophical heights.
    In the quest to do so, I've watched nearly every interview he has ever given and I strive over these bits and nibbles of genius that complement his live performances.
    Now I feel that sometimes, when I'm emotional, I do talk like him and express myself just as he does; It's nice but somehow I notice that I'm no longer genuinely myself and my character has slightly drifted.
    I lost a bit myself but I gained a lot of wisdom from this man, I'm okay with that.
    Thank you John !

    Saw him 3 times in March 2010, twice in September 2010, he had back trouble in September so his voice was fine and he said some hilarious things. Best show IMO was the one closest to me in New Orleans in March. Wish he'd done this one then as it's my favorite one. "Just a great figure 8 or a tiny infinity... "

  • @michaelmckenzie9734
    @michaelmckenzie9734 11 лет назад +20

    Here's the deal. John sang well off par during this concert but it was during his public suicide and his growth in his throat. I just saw him at Red Rocks on the 16th and he not only nailed every vocal note but he destroyed the guitar. He has also become much more humble, letting his bandmates solo a lot. It's safe to say it was the best night of my life.

    @mitchellshaw I'm aware that after the personnel line up that was with him through the late heavier things/continuum era through to early battle studies had left, he suffered a bit. I think he needed to re-find himself a bit and I believe, as you say, he is great again. I think he probably got a writers/performers block. Fell out d love with it for a whole. It happens. I'm glad. His album work never stops being fantastic through everything though.

I saw him in April expecting his performance to be similar to his earlier leg of the our. I was proven completely wrong as he was spot on with his performance vocal-wise and everything else. Check out some of the videos from his Vancouver stop.

    oh god, I totally agree. love most of his work, but the videos from this era are mostly cringeworthy. Where The Light Is shows him at his absolute best. Battle Studies, while a perfectly good record, was pretty mediocre. it still has some really strong songs though, Edge of Desire is a perfect example. i wish him all the best and that his next album and tour become as beautiful as the Continuum-era.

John is pouring his art out into this and playing with so much soul, but some things are a little off. It seems like his vocal is super dry, and his guitar sound a bit thin. Idk, could be because of RUclips, just sounds a bit weird. Maybe I’m hearing things
