*** Ed solo Baltimore 1 Fanviews Here 6/14/09 ***

Hold On

Gone was very cool because it was a request. Eddie tells everyone not to call out during the show, but then he goes ahead and plays one of them anyway. I was sitting in a box seat next to the lighting technician, so I could see the whole setlist and Gone was definitely not on the list. It was awesome the way the crowd helped him through it. Society was very cool too because Jerry Hannan who wrote the song just happened to be in Baltimore and sang it with Ed. Ed had an absolutely perfect and flawless set (no mistakes on Guaranteed or any other song) but had some trouble in the encore with Arc and I Am a Patriot, and then some guitar problems on Hard Sun which he seemed a bit upset about. His voice also cracked a lot on the new song. He added some extra songs in the encore that were not on the setlist. I think he did this to make up for Arc. It was a great show overall and well worth it.

You guys are truly lucky to experience such an amazing setlist. Santa Cruz must have been amazing.

I want to thank Eddie and his crew for the front row upgrade. Golden State, Gone, Santa Cruz and I am a Patriot were incredible. Ed handed my wife a pick which was awesome. Wasn't feeling Arc so it was cut short but all in all it was the best time ever at a show.

Does anyone have the actual setlist? I couldn't keep track of some of it.

Just got home- great night, Great setlist. There was some yelling from the crowd, and Ed put them in their place and had fun with it. he seemed to be in a really good mood. He was pretty talkative. It was funny, the two guys in the row in front of me got kicked out right after Liam ended, they looked like the were tripping on acid or something.
Let See, Gone was great, took Ed a while to get it going and had to stop a few times, and the crowd sang a lot of it. Rise was dedicated to Phil Jackson after some people were yelling out about the Lakers. Ed said right after driftin that he may play 1 or 2 more Christmas single songs.
Society was great with Jerry.
Golden State was amazing. As was Santa Cruz
I really like the new song now that I got a better listen to it, its a sad song.
You could tell something was off on ARC right from the start, either the mics were not set up right or the machine was not set up right. But as soon as he started to sing it and loop it, it was off. patriot was played to make up for it. He did seem annoyed that Arc was messed up. He got fired up when he had guitar problems during hard sun too.

Great show- can't wait till tomorrow night. I hoped everyone did not think I was screwing around when I was sending over some of those songs.

11th row thanks to the 10Club! Center!

Amazing show but a strange vibe, due in part to the raucous nature of the crowd. Quite different than DC, NY and NJ shows from last year. This crowd seemed rowdier and unfortunately crasser than last years. They did not heed Eddie's wishes and continually interrupted him, leaving him a bit unnerved. As a Baltimore native I was embarrassed by my hometown's rude behavior, particularly in light of how few times EV or PJ have been to our town.

The problems seemed to accelerate during PJ's new song. It looked like a very complicated song to play. He grew increasingly frustrated during transitions. His rhythm appeared lost. He looked agitated, frustrated and weary at the end of the song, which in our opinion led to the ARC incident. He tried to regain his composure but unruly behavior and equipment failure during Hard Sun worked against him, ending the show on a downer note.

I hope Bmore can get her act together tomorrow, show some class and make it a special evening.

Enjoy!

reflected from afar

i got the chance to see him solo last year in d at the warner theater and then again tonight. was really surprised how many more PJ songs he played tonight given how many covers and non-PJ stuff he did last year. and then especially thrilled that they were such rarities. it really was as good as the setlist makes it seem. santa cruz was great, as was golden state. i think his figuring out as he went along how to play gone was just the absolute best moment though. really just felt like we could have been sitting in someone's basement with him just messing around on guitar while the rest of us sang along. arc was definitely a little off but still sounded just as powerful as ever when he cut it. would have liked him to just finish, but definitely appreciate that he wanted to cut it if he didn't feel he was doing the song justice given it's meaning. all-in-all i feel so lucky to have experienced this one. wish i could go again tomorrow night.

couldn't remember the words....to arc??

It was a loop...not a recording.

Ed started the looping for Arc like he does. About 30 seconds into it he stopped and told them to turn the lights back on. He said he just wasn't feeling it and would rather move on than fake it. He apologized about 3 times.

oh well


I was 3rd row....WOOOOOT

Wow, just wow. Thank you much 10C for the absolutely incredible tickets to go along with this utterly amazing show. I'm floored at the moment; was in the 4th row - dead center to Eddie. Quite amazing indeed. Gone was a definitely highlight. I can't remember much about the "new song" other than it sounding almost sad, but an excellent sounding tune at that. It was really cool to hear Santa Cruz as well, oh and I Am Mine was killer along with Porch to end the first set!!

Ah, too much right now, I have to be at work in about 5 hours so I need to crash. Good crowd too, by the way except for a few assholes - but that's to be expected in Baltimore. Honestly, I was expecting worse. Glad everyone else had a great time. And yes to those who didn't see the show, the setlist was definitely as good as it looks. Eddies voice was spot on the entire night too - excellent work.

By the way, did anyone get a chance to snap any pics or take any videos?? It was tough to take anything good with all the dickheaded security. Share the pics/videos if you do!!!

...Leave your assholes at the door. I was 4th row (thank you 10 Club!!) ... The show started out great..although all I really left thinking was wow...Eddie must think Baltimore is a bunch of dicks... Charm City????

It seemed pretty clear that he didn't finish Arc because he wasn't into doing it.he said he "wasn't feeling it"...the shit with the crowd kept building up and to me...that was the ...ok fu I'm not gonna do this if none of your are going to do this. Liam looked pretty uncomfortable finishing "Hard Sun"..

Ed tries to put everyone into his world for a few hours at these shows..a chance for everyone to really "get" the experience of the songs... "We love you Eddie.., play Gone!, Eddie!!!...Yeah!!!..."... shut up! It's like picking up a good book and getting bothered every five minutes because someone keeps calling you on the phone.

Maybe the venue was to big and too many "public" tickets went on sale to people who still thinks everyone's yelling "Boo" at the concerts after Crazy Mary.

How could you possibly be annoyed with such a great setlist. I think the minimal amount of screamers were entertaining and eddie didn't seem to be annoyed. This show was incredible! Can't wait til tomorrow!

CHANGEinWAVES

It was a friggin awesome show! Glad I broke the bank to go and that a friend suggested we go.... After the 2 philly shows I thought that was it....but ended up getting to see the best set list from awesome seats... Ahhhhhh still riding the high from the show.

Can't wait till tomorrow night!

Comparing Philly 1 and Baltimore 1, I am leaning toward Baltimore. The venue was nicer and seemed to have better acoustics, the crowd didn't seem too bad, and I liked this setlist more for some reason. I wish Ed would have been "feeling" Arc, it is the one song I wanted my friend Joyce to experience, but she had no complaints, she is a converted newbie fanatic after tonight. Was happy to see Ed try Gone, one of my favorites from the last album, thought it would have worked nice in Philly following Atlantic City, but to no avail. Got to admit I was lost on some of the new songs, but enjoyed them nonetheless. Seemed like there was less story telling and more music tonight, we didn't get "Uncle Eddie" tonight.

Only complaint about the Lyric was that the balcony seats on the sides were not turned toward the stage, so we had to sit back in the seats to make sure we were not blocking the others' views. I actually didn't mind the no drink policy in the theater, keeps it from smelling like the morning after a keg party, like the Tower.

Hopefully tomorrow night's show will be just as good, if not better. I'm gonna need a vacation from my "concert-cation"!!

Sorry I missed meeting up with you CrazyPJFan!! One of these days we will have that damn beer!! My friends wanted to get in and get situated since we were all in seperate sections.

wrong.

anybody with a memory who can describe "New Song"? Anything stuck in your mind? I'd really like to hear more.

Great show. A whole bunch of songs I didn't expect. Highlights were Brain Damage, Golden State (awesome hearing Ed sing with a beautiful female vocalist), Santa Cruz (very good live tune--a lot of fun), Gone was really cool though Ed needed help with the second verse. I think Atlanctic City was the highlight for me and hearing I am a Patriot was sweet. The new song for whatever reason I cannot remember anything about it; It's like it was erased from my brain. Anyway, there were some morons shouting throughout--I seriously think there are some people with Tourette's syndrome at these shows though I don't think they were any worse than many of the other shows I've read about here. Overall Ed was in good spirits throughout, but he cut Arc short because he "just wasn't feeling it and didn't want to fake it" or something to that effect.

This appears to be the best setlist thus far.

I hope everyone that was able to attend this show had an awesome time!
