    This was my first Ed solo show and having read previous night's fanviews I had high hopes for a special night, and WOW what an absolutley epic night it was - so many highlights but the last hour was, as many have said, on a completely different level, I am still buzzing now; Thank you Eddie, Glen, Neil and Roger - Just incredible :D:D

    My first Ed solo gig too and how awesome was it! Real relaxed and fun. So glad he did Thumbing My Way and Porch is so damn good accoustically! A real plus for me seeing Neil Finn too. Amazing night.

    This might be the best show Ed has ever done and I wasn't even there. Eddie we are begging you dude...please release a boot of this!

    PS...I think you should return the favor and play the part of the punk (or the Godfather if you like) at The Who's February date in Columbus :D


    I've posted on here in the past many times bout requesting ed boots to be released...

    i have to admit though...i'm having a little change of heart...

    i agree with a lot of the posts,,.."you just have to have been there"...

    the boot possibley wouldnt capture the magic and could poss hurt everyone's special evening they spent with ed.....
    I've only been to one live show of ed's (st louis 2011)...it was so amazingly better than i expected...
    i new it would be cool but...wow...i didnt expect to be absolutly, flat out...simply blown away!!!

    but, i also agree with......the acoustic..slower sounding show just may not pan out on a bootleg...
    hence...loosing the magic a little...so to speak...

    what do ya'll think??

    I can't even believe how awesome this must have been. Super happy for the fans in attendance, though also rather burning with intense jealousy!

    I have to know: did Ed say which line Matt was singing wrong in Just Breathe? I always thought the line was "Did I say that I want you? Did I say that I need you? If I did, then I'm a fool..." which obviously really messes up the song's meaning (and made me very confused for a long time about why everyone thought it was such a delightful love song). But I would feel a lot better about making that mistake if Matt was making it too!

    03. Just Breathe
    (Ed talks about Willie Nelson's great cover "Just Breathe" and how Willie's vocal style is all Ed can hear now while he sings the song. He also talks about what an underrated background singer and singer in general Matt Cameron is. He mentions having to correct a line Matt was singing that dramatically changed the meaning of the song.)

    Spot on! That was exactly the sentence. Ed said that sung that way, "it was a totally different song"... ;)

    He did go on to say how Matt was really good at singing a certain high-toned japanese song :lol:

    Oh my goodness. Taken me all day to calm down

    This band, this man never cease to surprise and amaze. It feels like everytime I walk from one of their shows I just cannot imagine another nite that will get close but every show there is always a highlight to make I shake your head with delight. 

    I've been privileged to see some great gigs from the triumphant reading, intimate shepherds bush to the emotional O2. Every one of the 11 shows I've seen have at least 2 or 3 magic moments. After reading I thought no gig would get within touching distance, then I saw the O2 show that blew my mind. But I thought my peaks had been hit. Boy was I wrong. 

    Night 1 was intimate and beautiful, falling slowly and better man was worth the price on its own. I went home happy thinking it was a great change to normal pj gigs.  Although not in my top 3. 

    Night 2 took the roof off. The main setlist was perfect and they played everything I wanted (no ceiling, master of war, thumbing, moth) with the one exception of Santa cruz. I honestly would have gone home ecstatic at this point but the encores took the gig thru orbit. 

    All of the guest songs were very special. For me it summed it up when once roger had finished and ed was walking off roger asked ed to take a bow to the crowd he just shook his head walked off and left roger to the applause. 

    What makes this so special is that you could see it was such a special night for ed. 

    I just cant see this being topped but hey I've said that before!!! That's what makes this band and this man so awesome. 

    Thanks Eddie once again for a night I will never forget.
    Now it all comes down to numbers, now I'm glad that I have quit
    Folks these days just don't do nothing simple for the love of it

    WOW...what a set!

    This is a prime example of why we need EV boots.
    If a man speaks in a forest and there is no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

    Cant believe I nearly didnt make last nights gig but so absolutely glad I did. It was such a special night and bought a fantastic couple of months to a close. Second nights are a must, from Manchester 2 and Berlin 2 and now the Apollo 2. Masters of War one highlight for me and every song from Into The Wild. Thanks to Eddie and the guys for the best couple of months ever.

    I think you made the same mistake that Ed explained had made. The lyric being "Did I say that I need you?
    Did I say that I want you? Oh, if I didn't now I'm a fool you see ..." and Matt had thought it was 'If I DID' - which as Ed says, changes the meaning 180 degrees :)
    "If I knew where it was I would take you there ... there's much more than this"

    I am still trying to understand that I was actually there. First of all - Glen was amazing. And Eddie had the most beautiful voice. For me, the highlights started with Long Nights, that was an emotional moment for sure. Man of The hour, society, Falling slowly etc etc and then Throw your arms and then Roger!! I
    have no words.

    I always think that I would like to give something back to Eddie, and last Night he got something for himself when his idol arrived unexpectedly! So lovely to see his
    happy face. I also loved Sleepless Nights and how the crowd got all The spotlights while Ed and Glen stood in the dark, giggling, trying to remember the lyrics.

    U americans are in for a treat!!

    Wow! What a night!

    Left home after work with my partner heading for Hammersmith,2 hours away, ticketless. After seeing Ed in Manchester (first EV solo gig) we had to try to get into the last UK show. We had no idea that we would even get in but went for it anyway. Huge thanks to Justinya who made our night happen with an incredible act of kindness. We managed to get tickets and were spoiled rotten. Still trying to digest what we witnessed. It was incredible.

    I raise a glass to being spontaneous! Cheers!

    To be fair it has been made pretty clear to not take photos or record during the shows. Even though this was an awesome moment and i'd love to re-live it, it sure was annoying seeing loads of people instantly grab their cameras.
