Ive been watching the Duets on the biggest bang, and Ive got to say the Wild Horses Duet with Eddie Vedder is one of the best versions of the song I've heard in terms of how the band sounds. The way Ron plays sounds like how he did it in '75. But When I heard the version of Rio I was dissapointed. Was the Eddie Vedder Duet before or after Rio? Id be suprised if it was before since his playing generally got better after the first leg of ABb tour.

The duet with eddie was far before the Rio, the duet was in the PNC park in Pittsburg, on Sept.28, 2005

Rio de Janeiro was on Feb.18.2006, but it was extremely hot, and tiresome, and sweaty and hectic, the band didnt do AMAZING that night,infront of 1.5 million people

They were all calm and cooled infront of a comfortable crowd of 45 000 in PNC while with Vedder

They do it great everytime, some better than others of course, it should be really great nowadays becuase apparently ronnie's on fire! even more than the first couple legs of the tour!

HIs playing on the PNC park version w. vedder is good I think, its really pretty. Its just funny becaues thats supposedley when He sucked.
