Thank you!

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!

Sleeping by myself was very good. Can't remember the lyrics tho . Yelling was far from excessive a few dicks but all in all a really well behaved crowd for the first show of the tour. These shows will continue to get better and better. Ed seemed a liitle angry toward the end of the show guitar fucked up in hard sun and loop machine broke . They were extremely strict on camera phones. Pete was walking around all night. Andrew stockdale was in the crowd. Let's be thankful he didn't sing and secondly He should apologise to the person sitting behind him cause dam he has big hair. Ej and cecilia were ok nothing fantastic. Ej was great on golden state. Ed joked a lot with the crowd. Open all night was brilliant. So many highlights for the first night of the tour. A very special night. Enjoy the rest of the tour ...

gotta disagree with the complaints about people yelling out too much.

1. it would have been complete silence (awkward?) without those people
2. I definitely dont think the calling out was excessive

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.

I agree Fishy , there were a few who were yelling whilst he was talking. No dramas with people showing their enjoyment, but not at the expense of others listening to the artist.
Otherwise bloody brilliant show. Too many highlights to mention. Merch was pretty good. Ej and Cecelia were worth watching- great voices. Bring on Saturday night

Really good show. So different to be up close and personal with Ed. Loved the mandolin in "Rise". Betterman was so good. EJ's cleavage during Golden State was very distracting! :P

Show poster (2x tawny frogmouths in front of city skyline) is great. Looking forward to seeing the remaining show posters. The tour poster (Ed surfing) is fun, but not as impressive as the show poster.

Ed shook hands with some in the front row during the encore, then at the end of the show.

Ed looked really nervous when he came out, but got into the rhythm pretty quickly it seemed.

Can't wait for Saturday night!

MORE REVIEWS! MORE! MORE! MORE!

what were some of the funny things Ed said...im so damn excited! I wish everyone at work would leave me alone so i can keep reading reviews!

eveneddie

What a night. Eddie is a Champion! I feel very priveledged to have been one of the lucky ones to score a ticket to this gig. Try and live in the moment if you are going to this because it just seems like the show is over before you know it. Fellow Aussies yet to go, you will NOT be dissappointed. He was just that f8cking good.
Cheers Ed!!!

He was meant to be, but the seat was empty the whole night - yet his girlfriend or whoever he was with was still up there - I think he got lost!

I will say I'm damn glad he wasn't up front row because we were right behind where he was meant to be, and he has seriously huge hair!!

Were there many opportunities to get out of your seat to stand and groove?

Still trying to come to terms with a sit-down PJ/EV show. :oops:

joewalshdc

he was clearly nervous but just melted in to the performance....I was 5 rows back and was mesmerised from the first note....i for one enjoy the little mistakes and how he beats himself up on them....the completely different version of betterman was stunning....he was also clearly emotional during needle and damage done and the end...Ive been performing full time for 12 years and have seen many many acoustic shows....what ed has you cant teach...hes honest, hes human and hes real....these setlists are for him which is plain to see and I love it....actually I dont think theres a word invented yet for how special an eddie solo show is... :?:
this tour is just going to get better and better....

I got angry when some dick was yelling for songs during Ed's tribute to Starr. And someone else near me kept yelling "Indifference" in the middle of other songs. Apart from that, the crowd was great.

Ed's voice was sensational, although I think it will warm up a bit more during the rest of the tour. So happy to hear Porch, but very disappointed he didn't do a do-over of No Ceiling. Although he rightly pointed out there were only 30 seconds left in the song anyway.

Loved him talking about how he's not a morning person, but now he has kids he has to get up a 6.30 every day- even when they're not around. That was cute.

The intro- when they played a Tuolumne recording, and forgot to press stop. Hard Sun started playing, and there was a scramble to stop it!

Anyways, until the actual Hard Sun he seemed to keep a bit of sense of humour about the fuck-ups, but the technical stuff during Hard Sun seemed to piss him off. And a big jump (well, not so big at the end) at the end to finish it off.

Great show. Little disappointed with the 10c seats, was about half way back. Friends brother who was photographing the show bought a ticket on the night and got 6th row! Why the hell bother with 10c if you can just rock up on the night and get the best seats in the house?

Anyway was good just to be there. Driftin' & Sometimes were both great.
