PLEASE READ: If You Meet Ed...

I met Ed Saturday night after the Hartford show. I asked him why he has not released his solo show bootlegs and if he would consider it. He said "good question" and then said he has not released his solo shows b/c he was not "comfortable" with the quality of the performances when he first started touring but he said he is much more "comfortable" with the idea now. He also said all the shows are recorded. He was very receptive to the idea of releasing the shows and the last thing he said to me was "point well taken". I'm asking anyone who meets him before or after the show to politely let him know you are very much interested in seeing the solo shows released as bootlegs. The more people that request it, the more likely that he will release them. Thanks, I would love to see these shows released, they are absolutely amazing.

He's like the Bill Clinton of rock stars.
Really? Seems like most of the shows are pretty similar...give or take a few songs. I would probably just find out which shows had the best quality, hope they are the ones I attended, and buy a couple.
To each their own though!!

unless you broke into the Vault, I promise you that they are not professionally recorded. there are VERY good audience recordings of the first leg of the solo tour, but they are not SBD.

All of the shows are recorded exactly the same way and there is no annoying fan screaming, talking, none of that; which leads me to believe they were recorded by someone with some kind of access. Good enough for me!
When I asked him if all the shows are recorded he specifically said. "I have them all, I listen to them at home and study them." Its great to know that after 20 years, he is his own critique and still strives to improve. I did see a big improvement since 09

That explains why he gets better with age!
If You Like Crunchy Guitar Riffs, Powerful Vocals, Melodic Guitar Solos, And Meaningful Lyrics..then you need to check out one of the most refreshing new hard rock bands in quite some time...-->The Liberty Underground<--
I don't know when I'll be able to see Ed, hopefully (and realistically) next year with the band or solo, I'm dreaming of when I can see them live for the first time..
Anyway, bootlegs of each show would be great. Each shows sounds magical on here and I know that loads of us would love to be able to hear them as well.
It's great that you managed to ask him about them and I liked his response, seems very possible I hope.
Congrats on meeting him too
Hopefully we will be seeing Ed bootlegs ... soon!
I thought his first tour was 08, not 07?

I'm hoping that is what happens, like I said, he seemed very receptive to the idea. I'm seriously considering starting a online petition.
This is probably another reason they don't get released!
