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
I agree, it was an amazing experience. Ed sounded so good that I have to say I have been puzzled by the threads wondering if Ed's voice is sounding strained.
I also liked his "badass, motherfucking ukulele" comment.
All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.
Before the first encore in Berlin last year - The End - he said, seeing the crowd making waves for a long time:
I like this wave shit - it makes me kind of horny.
i was sure u gonna post this
"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
""What? All I heard was 'Hey, Ed. Gimme some of that either beer, pick or your dick' ...Which one? I got lots of beer, lots of picks and only one dick ... and I need to keep it so that I can entertain myself in boring fuckin towns like Knoxville"
"There's not much to do in Knoxville on a Saturday night. I just sat in my room, watched Saturday Night Live and masturbated"

I think we have to be flexible. Any belief system that is inflexible, closed off to other belief systems, is profoundly unhealthy. I also think that if you look at life as a long line of evolutionary changes that started billions of years ago, from little things crawling in the mud, and the you realize where we’ve got to now, that is a remarkable set of circumstances. There is more magic in that, for me, than someone creating the planet in six days and taking a day off. When you realize how long humanity has taken to get to this point, it makes you respect another person’s life in a deeper and broader sense. I wouldn’t’ think of killing anybody because their lineage goes back to the primordial seas, not because there’s some eye in the sky, looking out for how many commandments you’re going to break.

His comment went something like this (and I'm paraphrasing):
Is there anyone here who's a lobbyist? (a couple of hands go up - crowd boos in general)
Now, now... there are lobbyists who work for good things like (insert something good here).
And there are lobbyists who work for Goldman Sachs. If you're a lobbyist for Goldman Sachs, please kill yourself. You'll save the life of others... instead of taxpayers bailing out Goldman Sachs.... yada yada...
I don't really mean "kill yourself", but please change, and work for good.
do everyone a favor and kill yourself ...you'll save lives if you kill yourself...well don't die just come to your senses... then went Pearl Jam into The Fixer.

"It's not like I feel bad all the time. I was listening to the words of that song thinking, I sound so depressing. But it's like everyone has those moments, or hours or days, and you write a song and that's fine and then someone hears one of those songs in those moments and it makes them feel better. The healing power of music."

"I am a doughnut"
West Palm 98:

When asked to play a song from the crowd. Adelaide 2011.
"I want to tell you a story.... um (smiles) I should tell you this story. Years ago I used to wait tables, a noble job I did it and liked it. I have worked a long way since then many years and pretty much earned the right to not take fucking orders."
When a woman asked him to play love reign o'er me,
eddie "well thats a hard song to play"
feral woman " give it a try eddie "
eddie " well its not hard really it just needs a fucking piano!'
feral lady " come on Eddie we'll forgive you if you make a mistake"
Eddie "right now I'm not sure I'm the one who needs forgiving"
Adelaide 2009
Guys was trying to Mosh
" Hey listen people we all want to listen to some music and not get hurt so you down there just stop swinging your elbows you have two little girls in front of you and youre acting like an idiot "
Plays on... Band stops.
"Listen you asshole you keep swinging your fucking arms around and jumping around we are gonna play slow songs all night. IN fact can we get the camera on this guy right here? (guy is now on the jumbo screens) If you see this dude on the train on the way home or if you see him in the car park punch the fucker for me"
2011 Small acoustic gig.
guy yells loudly for a song.
"man I can hear you this place is smaller than Oprahs bathroom I dont really care you dont have to shout so loud. But have some respect for the people around you. In fact if you dont like the songs im playing then leave go to the nearest security and they will organize for a full refund of the ticket price. In fact people around you might add more money to it. Can we get $300 for this guy to leave. Fuck it I'll give you three hundred right now to go home. now shut up"
Legally, it's questionable. Morally, it's disgusting. Personally, I like it.

I knew we were in New York because this guy had a green light and he slowed down and yelled something at me outside his window, and right at the same time a cab came up on the other side and and almost sideswiped him -- didn't hit him but came close-- and so this was the conversation, it went like this: "Hey Eddie, great show!" --"Fuck You!"
EV solo show (forgot which one, I think Ft Lauderdale night 1).
A bunch of people were yelling song requests and Ed says, "I think I heard a request for shut the fuck up."
Night one in Orlando. He's playing a very old run down theater and one of the lights on the side of the stage keeps flickering. Ed says (paraphrasing), "That's not us. I think that light has Tourette's. I will start playing and light will go Shit, Fuck, Damn."

"It's very rare for a relationship to withstand the Earth's gravitational pull and where it's going to take people and how they're going to grow. I've heard it said that you can't really have a true love unless it was a love unrequited. It's a harsh one, because then your truest one is the one you can't have forever."
