    Great show - very focused on the WM3. Ed was obviously the organizer & it's the first time I've ever seen him perform without drinking. He had water on stage with him!

    Ed didn't perform songs that allowed his voice to fill the room - they were more meaningful. Again focused on the cause. Thought Natalie & Patty Smith did a phenomenal job of choosing music. Showed real power in their voice.

    Great night, great show, heart wrenching cause.

    Great show. Still can't believe we got a great show for such a great price. Row R. We could see very well and everyone was respectful and didn't talk during the show, so we were able to get a few videos.

    Funny to hear someone in the back yell out, "Eddie, fix my problems!"

    Loved Fistful of Mercy. Great performance.

    Thank you, Eddie!

    This is my 11th PJ related show. My friend's 1st. He was amazed at the power of Eddies voice and now see's why I love this band so much.

    I met Ben earlier in the day and that was amazing.
    Straight down the center for a hot chicken dinner!

    I can not say enough how grateful I am that I attended this rally. Eddie really impressed me, at times he seemed to keep the rally moving. I felt very empowered when I left and if anyone knows if getting petitions signed in states other than Arkansas would help, I would love to do so. You know is 1,000 or how ever many thousand signatures enough. I mean how many peoples signatures does it take to save a persons life? I will from this day on be looking into ways I can help change this travesty, it so sad it's taken me 17 years to get there but I had a 6 1/2 hour drive home and it's all I thought about. We as a human race get so wrapped up in what makes us comfortable that we forget that this world is widely uncomfortable for others that also live in it. Sorry to get on a soap box but I had to share what last night did for me.

    Thanks Ed for supporting this cause and using your status as a musician to influence others to fight for what they believe in!!!!

    P.S.---Much love for Henry Rollins...that man could lead an army. ;)

    Eddie always great. Ben's new group rocked the house. Johnny :D What can I say? He LOOKED GOOD and can play a mean guitar :D Patty and the group closed the house down. Natalie greeted fans after the show signing shirts, pieces of paper, anything we gave her. And Eddie. Beautiful Eddie. Greeted us all with open arms and hugs. Love you Eddie.

    Was an awesome show. Worth every minute of the drive up there and back. Patti was amazing and may have stolen the show. Humility was everywhere.
