Great show- probably tops Brisbane 2.

Tosser in my row shouting out unbelievable shit- Ed told him to move to the back or whisper!

I got a laugh from Ed! Everyone was yelling out requests, and I yelled "Do whatever you want Ed". He liked that!

Got us all to stand for Porch.

Stockdale came on for Society- not the best, I'm not convinced their voices work well together. But Ed gave him a great intro. Came back on stage again for Hard Sun, with the girls.

Mentioned the band will start recording again in a couple of months. Implied Australia shouldn't hold its breathe for either a PJ or solo tour.

Haha.. well done K. What was it like being close to the stage, you lucky thing.

Well I would understand if we don't get another EV solo show soon but I'm hoping for another PJ tour in the not too distant future.

They will come back when the time is right. Once they get a new album out, then we'll probably get them. Not this year but sometime next, I reckon. I dont want them this year anyway cos I cant afford 'em, takes me a while to save for a PJ tour, tax time is a real blessing for me but I got other priorities this year. So next year would be perfect and I dont think we'll be the first cab off the rank to get them after the new album, either. Probably Europe, the US or somewhere they haven't been for a long time like South America. All good things come to those who wait. We'll get our turn. We always do. Maybe they'll decide to do Japan again after the wake of the earthquake/tsunami to give the fans there something to look forward to since they've had such a devastating time of late. I would imagine the band will get together and make some kind of donation to the Japanese cause, I've just donated to the Save the Children Fund cos I felt so sorry for the children who've probably just become orphans.

Does anyone know who it was that had the Soon Forget sign down the front last night?

Last night was amazing - Arc was the icing on the cake for myself. Not even the obnoxious drunks shouting requests ruined the evening for me. Utter bliss.

Arc was, i'm not sure of the words to describe it, akin to a religious experience? running with that it was quite possibly the closest thing i will ever come to having a religious enlightening experience in my life, as the religious say, apparently moments of enlightenment like that change your life.(i'm not religious and i've just sat for 15 mins trying to find better words but i cant) At the start, the cheers started and ed put his hand up to hush people and started, he was almost trance like. It was breathtaking. I had to remind myself to breathe about 2 mins into it. If there wasn't fu*ken idiot bogans around yelling out you could have heard a pin drop. Most of them shut up for that though.
That was definitely the highlight for me, Porch was unreal, Ed told everyone to stand up and just went off.
Picture in a frame was beautiful, pretty sure every woman in that place and probably most of the men too thought that Ed was singing that song to them haha
the version of betterman he did was mind boggling, reinvented and just beautifully heartbreaking, again.

He buggered up Soon forget, absolute crack up, to a roaring applause because he did screw it. It really felt like he was just there, with his mates, chillin out doing his thing, having a laugh and a chat... so very intimate

Society with Andrew Stockdale was mediocre, i would have enjoyed it more if ed just did it by himself, like i saw before someone said their voices just don't mesh well and much apart from that stockdale looked like he didn't know what he was supposed to be doing. his voice irritates me at the best of times so i probably shouldn't comment too much on that as its a biased opinion.
Hard sun was another highlight for me, awweeeesomme way to end the show, one of my faves off into the wild and everyone was on their feet singing along and having just the best of times.

IF ANYONE KNOWS the dude (i think his name was dean or something) who gave him live on 10 legs, $5 to send it back to him on the saturday night and asked him to take it back to get it signed by the boys, tell him that Ed specifically asked if he was in the theater and said theres no way he will be able to get it back to seattle and if he had of been there last night he was going to do something really special, but he wasn't. He said he would 'work something special out' for him

I am so completely awe struck by his humbleness and his love for his fans. Ed proves himself again and again to be one of the godly ones that make this world a better place to live in. After seeing that, i'm making the bold statement that it was the best live show i've been to, ever, and that's alot of shows.
In the car on the way home, i was so in awe that i was getting a little blearry eyed, my heart and soul were on the verge of explosion. if you get a chance.. go and see him by himself. it'll change your life.

Thankyou Krystle.....you described everything so perfectly......the anticipation is killing me reading these posts and just cant wait for the Melbourne shows

I am so happy to have had the privilege of seeing Ed three times. I still come up with chills when I remember bits and pieces.

It was also great to meet some wonderful 10C folks- an added bonus included int he ticket price.

To all of you going to shows in the next couple of weeks, enjoy the anticipation and enjoy the experience.

I hope every fan has the chance to see him live. He is unbelievable. How was Girl from the North Country???? I heard him play that once in the 5 times I saw him live and it was incredible. One of my favorite covers by him. I wish he would do it during a PJ concert so I could get a good live recording of it!!
