    Geez, he's done it again. Looks like a cracker.

    Another Who cover sneaking in there...would have loved to have seen The Kids Are Alrightt. And I'm betting I am a Patriot was every bit as good as Sydney.

    Hope you Melbourne folk had a great night.

    Another brilliant night- great 10c tix- row d on the isle :D Some nice surprises- thx for getting the set list up so quickly- i've got a shocking memory & wouldn't have remembered it.

    Crowd was good- a bit more vibey than last night- some yelling but not over the top.
    Had a few muck ups- wishlist, crazy mary & another one that I can't remember.

    He handed a bottle of wine to the front row left side b4 crazy mary- didn't see it get passed around :?

    Tonight was absolutely breath taking.
    Arc was superb as usual.
    Crazy Mary.
    Light years

    So many many highlights and not one lowlight.

    I have said 4 times now... I dont know how he will top it
    And 4 times he has.
    See you in Perth Ed!!

    Another amazing Melbourne show. Crowd were pumped and Eddie could feel it.
    No excessive shouting no idiot remarks just a pumped up crowd.
    Eddie said 'I think its going to be a real good night'
    After Elderly woman behind a counter (went off) Ed said 'now that's how its done'
    Special credit goes to some dude about 8 rows from front middle for totally setting the vibe.
    He was up standing and dancing and as the lights beamed on and off it was just amazing.
    Ed commented numerous times it was a good crowd tonight.
    Ed started talking about a shop in south yarra he visited today called 'Condom Kingdom'
    He said more than just condoms were in that store, he found it humerous that it was right near
    A pub he has had many big nights in called 'Dick Wsomething' anyway the wsomething had faded
    And all Eddie could see was a BIG DICK sign riught near condom kingdom and wanted to see if vagina valley
    Was around the corner! Haha
    Crowd were so loud (in a good way cheering) Ed said 'just let me get through a few slow songs'
    Man of the hour was amazing but what followed was just on fire.
    Ed bought out Luc the Uke as in 'Lukin' then thrashed out a hard and fast Lukin
    Followed straight away by Porch - I jumped up and did not sit back down!
    I went off! Many did - as lights flashed on and off Ed looked at the crowd it was a cool sight
    To see 50 or so mixed through the theatre standing up, on their own, just feeling it.
    I didn't care if I blocked peoples view - that song is MEANT to rock out too.
    Ed was feeding just as much energy from us as we were him.
    Standing Ovation.
    Kids are alright was awesome - Ed had a vunerability in his voice and hit the high notes without losing his poetic sound.
    Crazy Mary rocked - Ed stuffed it up and laughed but got right back into it and totally took me to 'that place'.
    Light Years was great to hear that got a massive applause.
    Keep on Rockin had everyone standing.
    Ed said 'I don't often say this, so when I do I mean it - the crowd tonight is amazing'
    So that was cool. Just all pumped and totally into every song .
    One male yelled out ' I love youuuuu' Ed said when he was a teenager he never heard those words, so he always appreciates it.
    Awwwwwwww.
    Totally amazing night, 2 hours is not enough time with this amazing musician.
    He strummed every note with passion and conviction, his boots pounding the harder he strummed the guitar.
    He gives 200% at every moment. He believes and we are all his believers, as one man yelled
    'Amen' yes indeed.

    I love the E man.. no denying it.. but I am heart broken that I have seen 4 shows between Canberra, Newcastle and Sydney and did not see Hurt or Light Years.... I know that it is the nature of the beast and there is sooooo much of a back catalogue of PJ and EV.. but it breaks my heart.. :cry:
