"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”

Adelaide's turn on the 27th.
Yippee!
Gonna be a painful 5 days, but reeeeally looks like it will be all worth it! Thanks for taking the time to share (rub it in) guys, it is always well appreciated
The audience was really vocal and got into it. Eddie sounded great too. Everyone waited at the end hoping for another encore. MY mate and I didn't leave until we saw the gear being moved.
Wish I could have afforded Sat and Sun tickets too. To those who are going, enjoy!! I know you will.
And RIP Mike S.
Enjoy aussie folks... i am so jealous...
I have to echo the sentiment of the comment after Betterman. Never before, have I felt the song as I did tonight. I don't want to single out just that one song though, because I felt a connection throughout the whole evening. I wasn't expecting such a, I suppose, personal delivery.
A pretty solid standing ovation for maybe 15 minutes after what we really knew was the last song. I think we, as a group, wanted to show our appretiation for what was truly a spectacular event.
Brisbane 06 (4th row...blew my mind), Brisbane 09 (stadium seating sucks), Brisbane Ed solo 2011 (2 shows...awesome!)
Reading that gave me goosebumps. Very sad indeed, must have been tough for Ed too.
Mistakes... he made a few... but that is why you go to live shows. They led to some very interesting discussions, such as the argument between the left and right hemispheres of his brain as to whose fault it was. Ed pointed out that it was a bit like an argument between your kids, so he backed right out of it... until they teamed up and pointed out that it was ultimately his fault as he raised them.
Watching him trying to remember how Elderly Woman starts was funny to say the least. To be honest, I hope he makes just as many mistakes in the rest of the shows for you. The man is a bit of a comedian and it is nice to see another part of his personality.
Loved Sometimes and Brain Damage as they were a bit unexpected. I near wet myself when he did The Needle and the Damage Done (I should let you know that I am old enough to have enjoyed it first time around in '72). It was wonderful to hear Man of the Hour as it has particular significance for me.
Lukin was the same pace as always. However, Betterman was played at about half speed, and it is an awesome version. You could have heard a pin drop when he played it, and that is saying something. To die for.
Which brings me to my only gripe. There were a number of mindless, braying donkeys in the audience that were under the impression I paid money to listen to them yelling comments over the top of Ed. What is it with people these days? Ed dropped a few hints, but none of them seemed to work.
If you are thinking the show is going to be entirely "acoustic", it ain't. Ed gives the guitars a bit of a work out to say the least. Won't say anymore, except to say you are really going to enjoy it. Even more so if you can keep the donkeys out.
1. it would have been complete silence (awkward?) without those people
2. I definitely dont think the calling out was excessive
There were numerous times I could have said something and been clearly heard by Ed from the 4th row as I would have been the only one to be speaking at that time. i didnt though. and i do mean speaking with a raised voice, not yelling, as the crowd really were quiet!
If anything the most noise seemed to be coming from a section at the back of the floor maybe? which i think gave it a bit of atmosphere.
highlights for me were needle & damage done for starr, lukin/porch, and all the fuckups - even the last song hard sun had some funny moments. also, cant say ive seen a crowd stay put for so long after the last song in hope of another encore, even though the house lights & music were up lol

Chills. I just got all teary eyed. I simply cannot wait for my turn to see him in Sydney. Cheers!
I cannot wait for Newcastle now!
In somebody else's sky, but why, why, why
Can't it be, can't it be mine
It's growing up just like me.
I can't wait to hear the new song Sleeping by Myself. I'm guessing that it will be on the new album that is released in May.
If anyone that attended the show could give some details about this song it would be great!
well when you could see Ed clearly getting frustrated by some of the yelling, and him even commenting "i can't hear anything up here, or maybe i'm just hearing what i choose to hear" was him finding a nice way of saying "i'm ignoring you, so shut the fuck up" i think it's unnecessary to continue yelling dumb shit. sure scream and clap between songs but yelling out 2 sentence statements like the guy early on who yelled some shit about having a bottle of wine at home so ed should come to his house or something to that effect is just retarded.
