    I always knew Ed had an amazing voice, but tonight...my first time hearing him live...I was blown away. I actually had no idea how much better he is live and he is my favorite singer already!!!! Tonight was beyond words. He dedicated Just Breathe to his friends and their significant others and I silently dedicated it to Sammy, my son....so it was the most emotional song for me. Long Nights made my night because I didn't think it was going to be played, and ...well, I need to stop as I could go on all night and so much has been said already.
    One last thing though, When Ed heard the sad news about Clarence, he was a true professional and kept the night special for the crowd...that really impressed me as he must have been very upset.

    So...until tomorrow when I rant on some more...I thank MR. Vedder for the best concert I have ever been to!

    man, great show,

    much more lively than boston in terms of audience energy and participation. Long nights, immortality, unthought known great highlights, and lovely extra encore after hard sun which was totally needed b/c the crowd was too loud and would have been a little dissapointing otherwise in that sense. just a great night in general, preparty and show and looks like it was a good time. Sorry to hear about clarence of course.

    oh, the acappela (sp) version of sleepless nights was quite precious to everyone as well!

    I think he also put in there "I'll miss you" or something like that into Betterman and that's when I knew that was the news EV had gotten. Though why they would tell him during the show I'll never know.

    Amazing show from start to finish.

    HOLY SHIT! We couldn't have dreamed up a better day. From meeting new friends at the pre-party to the epic show to meeting people waiting for Ed AND MEETING ED FOR THE FIRST TIME TOO! The Betterman rendition was awesome. Lukin into Porch was amazing. The crowd was absolutely on fire. One of the best shows we've been to. This one will be hard to top. Here we come, PJ20! Wish we had more seats for the solo tour. Back to FL tomorrow. Hungover and high off the Ed meet-and-greet. Thanks to everyone we met and we hope to see you at Alpine Valley. :D

    What a show. Glen Hansard was awesome. Eddie was so on. He was in a good mood, other than when he got the Clarence Clemons news, and in great voice. WOW. Immortality, Wishlist, all the Backspacer stuff, it will be a hard show to top. Hard Sun just blew everyone away.

    I've seen Ed a few times and last night might just have been the best i've seen him.

    Long Nights was incredibly special...when he brought out Glen and said it was one he'd never done before i knew it had to be Long Nights...don't know if you saw the requests Ed or it was just pure chance, but either way THANK YOU :-)

    Better Man and the Clemons "news" was very sad, and i noticed a significant shift in tone from then on out. Ed seemed alot more loose and talky early on, after getting that tragic news he seemed incredibly focused and intense...there was clearly a new purpose to that show after he got the news.

    Dream a Little Dream was also a very nice surprise to end the show...definitely wasn't expecting a song after Hard Sun.

    It should be noted that Glen is terrific...if you can get there early and take in his set....well worth it :-)

    Wow Wow Wow! What a great show! Ed just blew me away last night. There were points where I didn't even want to sing along, I just sat back and listened to him, Immortality was one of those moments- took my breath away. Oh and Long Nights, excuse me, but fucking beautiful!!!!
    And of course there were some shenanigans. I was in the upper balcony and there was a lot of muck happening up there, guys yelling crap while Ed was trying to talk, then guys fighting with each other. It got so bad at one point, I think it may have been during Sometimes (can't remember), Ed actually said 'lets try that again', and replayed the line in the song he had been playing.

    Great show, wish I had tix to the Beacon- those are gonna be great!

    Yeah my wife and I were up there too, most of the problems had to do with the "you need to stand up during every song" crew getting a little too pushy. But otherwise it was a great night, very happy to make the 2 hour trip from Jersey
