awesome..I dont have access to yahoo email at work so I will email them to you later tonight I hope. I am not sure what area you are from but some local schools here have their students volunteer and run a drop off site to collect items to send over seas to the troops. Its a neat thing where the kids get involved, get really into it, and learn from it. Maybe you can coordinate one at your school if the logistics work? Here's an example:

Ok, so I know I'm late on this review, but I don't normally, or ever, go to these fan sites. I attended both shows in philly (upper darby) and thought they were so much better than last yrs. NY shows.( my opinion) Night one we had fifth row 10c tix which were amazing. Thanks 10c. Night 1 was phenomenal I thought, with nothing lacking. Ed played beautifully and sounded great. It's such a different energy than normal PJ shows. Song choices were perfect, particularly "Floyd's Brain Damage" into "Sometimes". Anyway, I could go on about this forever. Afterwards, we met Ed outside and got to shake hands and make small talk. That was truly surreal. Night two, we had balcony seats, which was a big disappointment compared to night one, but we were grateful just to be in the building. Set lists were similar, with some cool changes, but ended a half hour sooner than the previous night. Afterwards, we met Ed again and got to talk a little more. I was wearing an anti-war bracelet that read "Bring Them Home Now" and I handed it to Ed and he told me about some vets that had been at the show that night, then took my bracelet and put it on his wrist. "Good cause", he said. My girlfriend spoke up, telling Ed how he helped me get through some hard times in my life with life, death, addiction, and getting through to the other side of it all. He was very soft-spoken, talked to us about being engaged, and told us "love is hard, you have to work on it". Shook our hands again and kept on greeting people. It was such an honor that he took my bracelet and put it on. I am still, almost a month later, in awe over it and very thankful for all experiences over the past eighteen years, especially this one. Ed, thanks for everything. To the fans also, thanks.

Does anyone know if they will make his solo concerts available in bootleg form?

did anyone ever figure out what the "unknown song" was? was it off backspacer? i remember it being a sweet, slow song (mix of Arc hymns and Unthought Known melodies)

It was the first ever live performance of "The End".
