The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
Not sure if it's been mentioned already, but I could see one of the other guys (Mike being my guess) joining in on the live versions. I remember one of the Josh interviews mentioning a second guitar part, plus 6 minutes of Ed alone could become a bit of a repetitive slog.

That could be cool.
Somehow this song pays off all six minutes. Ed sounds absolutely phenomenal.

I don't know why it just occurred to me today that "the kids are alright" is not just a nod to The Who, but doubles up as an assurance to an old friend that the kids (yours, ours) are fine, getting on and playing well together; it's gone from slightly cheesy in my mind, to very intimate

That line kills me every time.
yep.
it's completely changed and deepened the song a thousand fold
doing in one line what "The End" took a whole song to do
One of the verses makes it sounds like a friend of Ed's was left standing at the Altar. I wonder who he's talking about if anyone, could just be a metaphor for something else.

Hadn't considered it in this context. That's great

The line works on multiple levels. It could be a reference to the early stages of the relationship in question, the innocence of their own children and their safety, or the optimism that every new generation brings.

I think "fell from the altar, a vision, you caught her..." implies an altar of worship, not marriage: someone you pedestalled into an idol / icon, who then fell from the place you'd put her; I'm less sure of "but then, a wood cut in red", but again, it makes me think of an idol / icon, like Mary bleeding from the eyes
