Solid thread guys. One s/t song, one Backspacer song, two Lightning Bolt songs, one song from the forthcoming album. Seems about right. I guess they will keep the other new songs fresh until the album release.

Agreed. The first 10 songs were good. Man that Fixer > Eruption > Lightning Bolt > Can't Deny Me stretch must have been brutal if Can't Deny Me was as bad as people are saying.

When he gets to the "chorus" or whatever you want to call it, it sounds so bad. And maybe i'm judging harshly because he is also trying to get everyone to shout along and pump their fists, it seems kind of... desperate?

The chorus doesn’t sound very good, but not in a way that’s dissimilar from a lot of weak live vocal performances I hear from other bands. But I think think he sounds surprisingly good in the verses.
Ed sounds terrible in the "Can't Deny Me" chorus but surprisingly good in the verses.
I will also say that I find it very endearing that he puts in the effort to communicate with the audience in their native language. He does a pretty good job with Spanish.
