Show Two Set List



01. Sometimes
02. Picture In A Frame-(Kathleen Brennan/Tom Waits)
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.)

08. You're True
(Ed talks about a band called "Yeastie Girls" and recites part of one of their raps. He realizes his daughters are at the show tonight and regrets that he is going to have to explain the rap.

13. Guaranteed
(Ed mentions that PIL have a song called "Rise" as well and that he recently spotted John Lydon in an airport but of all the words you could use to describe John like, singer, punk rock archetype and genius, approachable might not be the most obvious especially at an airport but Ed had met John before several years ago so he went up to him and said hello. John smiled, threw open his arms and said "Eddie". Ed said it was as exciting as catching a big wave)
14. Rise (Dedicated to John Lydon)
15. Long Nights w/ Glen Hansard
(Ed's daughter Olivia brings out a guitar for her dad. Ed talks about his recently passed friend Dennis Flemion from the band "The Frogs".

16. Man Of The Hour-(dedicated to Dennis Flemion)
17. Masters Of War-(Dylan)
18. Porch
Encore Break 1
(Ed thanks the crowd. Talks about the building and all the friends he didn't know he had in London. He then holds up a copy of The Who's "Quadrophenia" and talks about how much the album means to him. He talks about the picture inside that shows the Hammersmith.)
19. I'm One-(Townshend)

21. Society w/ Glen Hansard-(Jerry Hannan)

    Absolutely awesome show from start to finish. Highlights for me Picture in a frame, man of the hour and the obviously unscheduled appearance of Roger Daltrey. Just as Ed was about to start a song , his guitar tech walks over and whispers in his ear. Ed asks the crowd to excuse him for a second and goes to the side of the stage. 30 seconds later he walks back onstage with Roger. Ed was smiling like a Cheshire cat. "I only turned up for a drink " proclaimed Roger with ukulele in hand. After some banter about how this could go either way as he's not done anything since April , he launches into Blue,red and grey. Ed for the most part jut watched on in disbelief. A true pleasure to be at such a great show. By far the best of the 3 UK solo shows.

    I totally agree about another level, I love pearl jam but didn't know what to expect from an Ed solo show but O...M...G!!

    The whole show was just truly fantastic. I just got home and am still reeling from it all. Biggest hghlights for me was Masters of War (!!), the into the wild set, Ed's duet with Glenn on Falling Slowly and Ed and Daltrey doing Naked Eye. Also the moment when Ed and Glenn did sleepless nights at the front of the stage kind of like a couple of drunk men at a bar with just the uke and no microphones and both forgot the lyrics at the same time - twice! So funny.

    Also, four encores!! FOUR! Seriously Eddie is just a god, and has the cutest kids too. It was nice to see them play a part in the show (and earn their living lol, to paraphrase eddie!) :lol:

    Yup, that's all the words I could come up with.

    I'm retiring from EV shows now. There's no point- it's not going to top tonight. Why even bother?

    What a truly fantastic experience... Still can't believe it all really happened...! What made it all extra special was the fact that Ed had spent his teenage years looking at that Quadrophenia inlet photo at the Hammersmith Apollo and being able to play there as an adult was unbelievable in itself (to quote him). He was marking the occasion by covering The Who. But then having Daltrey come on and play with him just blew him (and obviously the crowd) totally away... :o Took it all to an even higher level. The amount of time Ed just stood there looking at the packed venue at the end, taking it all in... Wow. Just wow.
