A few other tidbits.
Ed mentioned first night kinks a bunch of times, but I found the screwups rather endearing.
During Man of the Hour, he player what he referred to as a small guitar and stopped dead right at the beginning because the guitar was too loud. He then joked something to the effect that the beauty of a ukelele was that it was a small instrument that knew its place and made a small sound, while this guitar was trying to make too big a sound.
Dropped the lyric in Guaranteed, tried to pick it up again, missed it again, and then finally got it (but dropped some words later).
Said that he hadn't played State Trooper since he was a 15 year old -- sounded great.
After the story about the girl peeing, he said the next song would be (paraphrasing) Young Lady Peeing in the Middle of a Hotel Parking Lot and then launched into Small Town.
I was at Boston 2 solo last year which I loved, but Ed just seemed more relaxed tonight and overall I enjoyed this a bit more (both were incredible).
All the nonsense about Ed's voice can be laid to rest. He sounded great and 17 years after I first heard him there is still no singer I would rather hear live (and he didn't look heavy either).
Few notes about goods:
There was a program distributed as you came in the door- very similar to the one on the last solo tour. Seemed to have more supply than when I saw him in Boston.
Very nice poster.
Three different shirts. One was similar to the Black and orange ITW logo shirt from last tour but in Black and blue (nice colors). One was a white T with a V shaped stars and stripes thing and EV above it with dates, etc on the back. Third was more of a jersey style with EV on the front and ALBANY as the "player name" on the back and the number 23 (someone had to point out to me that the numbers were a reversal of the EV on the front).

Was in the third row balcony, center, and during Lukin the balcony was shaking(thoughts of MSG 7/8/03 immediately jumped into my head). He is ideally suited to these small venues(IMO), casual, funny, relaxed, and in touch with what's going on in front(Or above) him. Good, good show.
btw, what the hell was that wizard head of whatever it was the Liam Finn was wearing whilst he swept the stage before the duo with Ed. It was very funny. Anybody?0 -
The Albany song was so fucken funny I want to hear that shit again tonight.Out of the Blue and Into the Black................Uncle Neil Philly 08 here I come!!!!0
