I went to 8 EV solo shows in Cali, 1 is more than enough
i wish i hadnt spent all that money and time to see the same show every night. that the beauty of PJ, but EV is a different story. Dont get me wrong it was a great show, but 1 is all you need to see to see it all.
just my 2 cents

You know how we have the Boston Puker?
You should be the Hartford something-or-other.
jk
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
I say 3, just to give you an opportunity to realize they were all pretty much the same:)
yes, and had i posted my prediction in 1996, 1998, and 2006, i woulda been totally accurate. they were out to prove me wrong this year.
history told me one thing. PJ changed history. good for them for renewing my faith in mankind
Fuck that.
im telling u that seeing 8 was a regret. after the 2nd show, i knew i was in for a long week. seeing that the first 2 were almost identical. if you wanna go see all 14 feel free, but im letting u know now, that you know what your in for.
im gonna go see one show here on the east coast tour, just to see if he changed it from the west coast, but then after that, im gonna save my money for when the band announces more dates
Santa Cruz on a Saturday Night was simply a full and complete wonderful day. Special song just for us that night! Ed was really mellow and silly and played the "basic set" more or less (w/ the Santa Cruz song noted). If your phone rings, you must let Ed answer it, wanker.
Berkeley on a Monday Night was ... wierd. The Drum Circle had gotten to Ed all day, his banter was inane, not silly, not too "personal" just a lotta political and movie biz talk. Parting Ways was a special treat, Hail to the State ... was not.
Berkely on Tuesday Night was ... a mind melter. McCready, Sean Penn Roast, lots of personal tales from him, talking about his daughter, upset with the crowd from the night before, edgy, and lost during the second song... "Where are we? I just kinda left the building! I was where I was when I wrote the song... (Around the Bend)." Driving away the Young Republicans with Masters of War...
And as I wrote up in a Bekeley thread -- there's a certain release that can be obtained by listening to him live, listening to these songs. I'm not sure I can ever get enough of that.

And yeah, just to add - Liam mixed it up each night as well, different tags, different versions. Different craziness. He was awesome to see three times!
what a show this year, absolutely!
as to the thread topic, i honestly agree. i haven't seen ed live, but i've read a lot about his shows and think about the same. also would be good to allow more 10clubbers to get tix, etc, especially since you can buy 4! truth be told though, if i could even consdier both NYC shows, i'd be there...b/c ed 2 nights in my city, just too irresistable. however, i have tix to see the police on monday so must hope upon hope i score for night 2. i WISH NYC tix went on sale first, b/c i may try for boston just b/c i am terrified of being shut out of NYC. i am trying to simply think what will be will be...b/c i definitely think hubby is a no-go for any travel - was fantasizing about montreal
sorry for rambling.......:o
anyhoo, i do agree 1, maybe 2 shows is plenty of love! seems he's doing a few 2 nighters around here, so would be great to keep it small/local...save on travel and overall expense, allow more locals to get 10c tix...and yes, i am simply dreaming b/c no matter what, tough tix to score!
Let's just breathe...

LOL
well i predict that 95% of everything you see in the EV solo tour will be repeated from night to night. i also predict that the pats will win the superbowl this year and the giants wont make the playoffs. write these down!

great post ... I didn't go to Santa Cruz ... but, the 2 Berkeleys were different enough that indeed, I'd suggest (again) go to multiple shows that are local .. but no need to travel.
Berkeley 2 ... mind melter ... indeed.

we can now know in almost real-time exactly what songs are getting played at a gig, share stories of show experiences, etc...and just makes the rabid fan that much more rabid.
i just need a ticket to night 2 in NYC! all i can do w/o travel soooooo please i hope i am lucky!

Maybe he will bust out some old skool jams. lol
edit...by jams I mean the surfer shorts.
And I don't feel right when you're gone away

your post says it all...it will a tough ticket to acquire considering 1) he is playing theatres of say 2,500 people plus/minus not 20,000 seaters with unlimited 10club member access, 2) He is coming off a great tour that left most everyone who attended wanting more and 3) 10club tickets are limited to less than in 1) above.
Good luck everyone and to everyone who is fortunate to get a ticket, enjoy the show! From reviews of the west coast swing it sounds like it will be great (1 show or 8 shows).
Cheers!

In fact if I had only seen one I would have been just about as content in retrospect.
1 is enough. Two is plenty, and three is stretching it. IMO. Especially for the budget conscious.
i got some on 10C sale, some on TM...and then paid through the nose to get the others....and it wasnt really worth it....so thats why i say 1 show is all u need.
im still struggling to pay off my debt, just so i can get back to a point, so i can say im at least just broke
