    “There’s some fancy people in the skybox … they’re blinking to us, sending us a message up there.” The crowd boos and he tells them not to get angry: “… you know life has a way of working itself out, you know? Think about this for a sec, right? These are the rich, fancy people, right? They got all the luxury, right? Looks to me, like they’re the farthest ones away from the stage and they’re behind a fuckin’ window … you hang in the trenches long enough, it pays off …”

    Pointing to the suite boxes in the Alltell Arena--

    "Look, there's 3 guys masturbating to 'Three's Company'."

    (eddie pauses and laughter amongst audience)

    "Well...they suddenly stopped."

    Returning for the encore and yet another sea of “Breath” signs on ever single level of the Garden, Ed tells the crowd they are never satisfied:

    “You fucking cocksuckers. [shakes head] You fucking bitch! You know, we come up here as a collective band and we give and we give and you just fucking want more … and you know what? You deserve it. This is like some kind of organized religion here; I’ve never seen anything like it. Do you see what’s happening? … the third night in a row, right? [applause] Well, fuck you. We’re gonna play it!”

    leading to the first playing of ‘Breath’ since 1994

    "Wait -- you mean there are words to that song?" -- In Newark last year, when someone asked him about the meaning of "Yellow Ledbetter."

    that was priceless....i would give close to $500 for a crystal-clear bootleg of that show...those acoustics were the best ive ever heard in my life

    "if anyone ever asks me 'what's the greatest venue you've ever played' out all the places i've ever been to in my life, who woulda thought there's this beautiful place....and in fucking newark, nj too" or smthg to that extent he said - i never laughed so hard
