Ooh ooh forgot to add that yet again (I swear Ed can't do Melbourne without this)
Mentioning the cosmic physcos! He told us we all have to go out and buy the double cd?
Someone please clarify what Ed was on about..something about a bull dozer?!!

Ed mentioned Patriot made him wish he was an Aussie.

He asked 'the doctor' in white coat for red wine - that got massive cheers.

Ok that's all I can think of right now, I'm in the car writing this on my phone!
Time to drive home - as I listen to PJ of course!

All the best to Adelaide - u lucky buggers. I've got one more night so bring on
Last show in Perth.

whats the deal with camera's not being allowed in the show?.. does that mean I shouldn't place a link to my friends photos that he took because it would be disrespectful?

WTF!?!? light years? isn't that a stone's song?

No, it's an Ed song all right.

Question for those there - was Light Years acoustic or electric?
And to ejh76 - uke Lukin? Really? Wow!

There can be no link to any photos because photos do not exist because Ed respectfully requested no cameras and his fans have respect for his wishes.

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.

When i heard Porch, i didn't care i was up and I wasn't sitting down. Man the show tonight, was awesome. I thought night 1 was amazing...tonight was even better. And Arc OMG the tears started

Sloth2

I respectfully hate all of my fellow Melbourneites who got to go tonight

I'll get my revenge when he plays on open air show on a Gondola in Venice or something

Opened with my favourite song as well :(

morello

Sounds like another great show. Snagging & saying wish I'd been there!!

Yes, it was another great show! Totally blown away by a perfect second concert complementing the first night. Got to hear all the songs I didnt hear on the first night that I wanted to, songs like Man Of the Hour, Off he Goes, Light Years, Soon Forget and the highlight for me was Arc which I'd never heard live before and never thought I would. How dare you bring me to tears Eddie(!), but it really got my emotions going. Totally brilliant live. People who say he's got no range dont know what they're talking about! Had much better seats than the first night, 15th row from the front (thanks 10 club). Loved the fact that we could jump up and rock out to Porch, got tired of sitting down! Missing Ed already, we're really lucky in Australia to have gotten him on tour. Sure he'll put on a fine performance for Adelaide and Perth, his voice is sounding better than ever, he's in excellent form. Crowd great, no bogans, lots of yelling out which only added to the atmosphere creating a great vibe in the room.

The man is a magician! Incredible show again. Light Years was a cracker.

Red_Dot

WOW! Been to 4 shows and that was by far the best. Was hanging to hear Long Road, Soon Forget and Off he Goes and got them all plus more. Light Years was a great surprise and a really nice version. Then throw in Lukin, Crazy Mary, Driftin and Man of the Hour to blow us away. Arc was indescribable, just kept getting better and better. Great cover of the kids are alright. So glad to be a part of such a unique show, couldnt have asked for anything more.

AMAZING show!!! Again, too many highlights to count!

Light years. OMG. I never ever thought I would hear that live... What a magical song - Eddie's voice was so full of passion. Just beautiful.

Arc was amazing - the things the man can do with only his voice!!! Absolutely spellbinding... and I said to my friend that I could actually keep that sound going all night and never get sick of it...

Opening with Long Road I knew it was going to be a great night... So did Eddie The crowd was so LOUD compared to Thursday!

Only bad point of the night was my TC seats - in the lounge upstairs - a lot of disappointment there and I wont be taking a gamble on TC tix again when I can get better through ticketmaster - but once Eddie started playing, I forgot all about it and enjoyed the magic that is Eddie Vedder

My last concert of the tour and I just got the email re the US shows and thought "hmmm can I afford to go there?" LOL

E.K

Great review Elisha. btw it's lab coats not doctors coats.

What a show. The first night was great but last night was just something special. thanks Ed. I guess thanks to the crowd as well for such an awesome atmosphere. Man of the hour, Porch, Lukin and Off He Goes were highlights for me.. and loving Golden State more and more. Cheers...

Haha I know but he asked for the 'doctor' to bring him out what he asked for!
Out came a lab coat person with the wine!

And YES to whoever asked - Lukin on Luc the Uke! OMG followed by Porch
Amazing!

ItsOKaye

Another great night in Melbourne...better seats and better crowd than Thursday night.
Totally rocked it (and lost it) during porch. Was good to have a seat on the isle (thanks 10c) and I swear Ed was looking at me when he gave a peace sign going off stage after Porch!

But I must say the highlight for me over the 2 nights was Ed singing Better Days & immortality on night 1.
The accoustics in the Palais are fantastic and complimented Eddies voice perfectly. I will have those songs ringing in my head forever. I hope I never forget that magic feeling.

Also nice to meet a few 10 clubbers. So glad you got tickets at the 11th hour. Happy Anniversary Shannon & Lisa for today and enjoy Perth.

2nd Show in two nights! Soo excited! 10C seats were great (thanks 10C) - only 10 rows back from the stage on the aisle....Got to see a bit more detail of Ed's face! hehe! Clearly I need to buy some glasses!

My favs tonight Light Years, Off He goes and Arc was amazing - worth the wait from the night before! Porch was awesome too....glad to see people getting up out of their seats to rock along! oh and man of the hour!

*sigh* now its all over.....although still have the songs playing in my head and a cool new poster to remember the night!

amazing again

ed said there he goes was a request so i hope it was for the bloke in the 1st melb show thread

I hope it was for my husband too. I couldn't believe it when Ed said it was a request and then started playing Off He Goes - my husband and I silently had tears pouring down our faces - so emotional. Thank you Eddie.

I also got emotional when he said he didnt hear those words as an adolescent - being the mum of 4 boys and 1 girl to whom I tell everyday how much I love them and we never part ways without telling each other "I love you" - I cant imagine how sad that feeling is for him.

Although emotional it was an Amazing show again.

Would love to do New York - maybe 25th wedding anniversary present!!!
