    NEW Song (Just for Albany)

    Great show...

    lots of energy from Liam Finn anyone who hasn't had a chance to see him be sure you are there for the opening its a can't miss.

    Eddie was great per usual. Messed up the lyrics to Guaranteed several times then stated that it was the longest version of the song he had ever played. Seemed to encourage a lot more fan involvement than when I saw him at Montreal last year. The "Song just for Albany" was just that he made up a quick tune that had lyrics for Albany basically rhymed with the word Albany very cool.

    At one point when talked about the busy year (having a new kid, album, etc.) seemed like he was going to say something about coming back to tour in Albany but stopped himself short. All in all a very good show the crowd seemed to police itself with only minimal screams of EDDIE.

    Great show. Ed was in good spirits and humor. The quote of the night was him talking about an article in the local paper that said they played in Albany in 93 with Public Enemy and Neil Young. Unfortunately, it never happened. He said now I may have a bad memory, but I would remember Neil Young standing next to Flavor Flav, which caused the audience to shout Flavor Flav and Yeah Boy. Hilarious. Beautiful state back drops that were changed throughout the show. Venue was beautiful and sounded great; can't wait for tomorrow.

    Great show all around. New segment this time where Ed has a giant chair that looks like two feet, basically says its story time, grabs a beer and a cigarette and told a long story about one of the Monkeywrench tours where he encountered some fans in the parking lot and told of an adventure trying to give a girl a t-shirt, when he went to give it to her, she was taking a piss in the parking lot in the open, funny shit.

    I think he said tonight would be the only time he did this though.

    wow...what a great night....i was blessed in my home town with 3rd row ...dead center!! The Albany song lyrics consisted of ...Albany your so tall to me.... oh Albany......shrunken head on a shrunken body....thats all i remember. Porch EV solo was my highlight of the night. I've always loved that song and to hear him sing it live was amazing.

    This show was amazing! I think the best show I've seen ever, out of any show. He had great stories, great songs. I loved every minute of it. Sitting on the chair to tell a story was fantastic. The whole show was fantastic.

    I'm really hoping they release these solo shows as bootlegs. I would love a copy of this show.

    wow.

    f'ing up, pleased with the crowd's patience with him. seemed to feed off the crowed a few times. asked us to join in on small town and a few others.

    crazy. my first EV. not sure i could have hoped for more.

    story time was awesome. i'm pretty sure he said only time he'd do that.

    said he'd been in albany for 3 days already and that he'd been on the hudson.

    great stuff.

    Excellent show. "Sometimes" and "Girl from the No. Country" were highlights for me. Waited with my wife for 1.5 hours (or more) by the bus. We both shook his hand and I said, "Thanks for the music, Eddie." He replied, "Thank you, sir. You've got great eyes." A perfect way to cap off a memorable night of music. Thanks again, Eddie!

    The show was excellent! My 10C# is 169XXX, and I got center section, 9 rows back.

    I went to college in the Albany area, and had never been to the Palace before tonight. Nice place, good sound.

    Before the show started, I found an Ed guitar pick on the floor under my seat! Looked around, didn't see any more anywhere else. It's white, with the EV red, white, and blue bull's-eye on one side, and the EV red, white, and blue stars logo on the other side.

    Some shouting, but nothing over the top.

    Story-time was a little weird, and random, but really funny. Maybe it was the chair made out of feet...

    A lot of people waited outside for autographs at first. It drizzled on and off, and the numbers dwindled. We waited for almost two hours. Some idiot ripped the license plate off of the back of Ed's tour bus. The bus driver ran out of the bus, caught the guy, and got it back.

    Ed came out and didn't sign anything, but shook hands with, and spoke to, every single person that waited. I'd never met him before tonight. I thanked him for everything, and he complimented me on my bull's-eye/Who t-shirt, saying he had one just like it, and he told me I had a great smile. I'm 6'3, 330, bald, with a goatee. Not too many people tell me I have a great smile. I almost started to cry.
    May your days be long, til kingdom come.
