*** Ed Tour - Sydney Fanviews Here 03/19/11 ***

The Jammer

Front row tonight for my final show of the tour super psyched!!!!!!

E.K

Crazy Mary was probably the highlight for me last night. I remember a request for it being screamed really loudly by someone who was sitting not far from me way up high in the far depths of the State Theatre and Ed making a cheeky comment after he heard the request so I was really surprised when he played it.

No more shows for me unless a miracle happens. :(

Eddie talking about relationships and saying he "sounds like Oprah up here"....

What a crackup.

Yeah, yeah that was cool, when he turned all talk show host.

Without You is such a gorgeous song. Ed said he started writing it at the beginning of his relationship with Jill (11 years ago) when they both lived in Sydney for one month. She is one lucky lady. Imagine having Ed sitting there playing the uke and singing cute songs to you every night.

His story about one month in Bondi with Jill were cool & that whoever he was staying with said 'she's the most beautiful woman I've ever seen' & Ed was like 'aw shux, I think so too'

e.t.a. has anyone seen any reviews in any newspapers over in Oz? I did a search just before & didn't find anything, but surely someone has reviewed a show?

Thanks to the 10 Club for the awesome seats. The sound was million times better than mezzanine the night before, and Eddie was on, as everybody said. He seemed a bit tired the night before, not that it took away from his performances, just a feel. But on Saturday he was on.
Long Road opened, and you just knew it will be special. I was hoping to catch Thumbing My Way, and it was as beautiful as I imagined. Parting Ways! Awesome, awesome Lukin, Porch. Just ON.
Then Better Days. From reading previous reviews, I was having high expectations, and rightfully so. Unbelievable! Eddie was standing right there belting that song out, voice clear and strong, and going stronger and stronger. Fierce performance if I ever saw any.
Another highlight was Crazy Mary. It was unbelievably good, getting better and better as it progressed.
I wish there were some kind of recordings available, Eddie was so good.
Also liking the uke songs, high expectations for that album.
