    Amazing set. I was in the 4th row of loge and felt close because the venue is so intimate. Long Road blew my mind. Betterman sounded amazing too. Too tired to write more right this second.

    Was Betterman the lullaby version?

    This show just blew my mind!! So glad I was able to be there. I agree with the others that the couple of drunken assholes were annoying but it seemed that they got the hint pretty fast.

    Long Road - Definitely the highlight for me too!!

    Now if we could just get some bootlegs for these shows... ;)

    Long Road absolute highlight for me too! I was secretly hopeful he would play that, but didn't want to get my hopes up. Also loved Society with Glen Hansard, so much better than with Liam Finn in '08. BUT loved the two songs with Neil Finn. And Without You is now my new favourite song after seeing it on Letterman last night. Such a gem of a song.

    Just came back from waiting over 2 hours, and I got to shake Ed's hand and yelled out THANK YOU!!! I hope he heard me. Ed's got soft hands :mrgreen:

    Oh, and did I mention SWEET POSTER?!?!?!

    +1

    LOVE the poster! Also just got back from waiting for Eddie, took awhile but at least he took the time to shake everyone's hands. :) Were you able to get any pictures? I left my camera at home because I thought the Beacon would take it at the door...

    Great show.

    Great set.

    Really, who pays $80 to heckle? And shout "play the guitar"? Did they just let meat heads in off the street without telling them what kind of show this is?

    Crowd was better than Philly last solo tour but the few chuckle heads that wouldn't shut up are a real drag.

    EDIT: I was in Orchestra Row U right side aisle. TC 412xxx

    I think Right Orchestra is a pretty bad place to be at Beacon. I was in Row J all the way by the wall where the ushers/photographers were. I had a great time but definitely felt distracted half the time. People kept meandering back and forth to buy drinks and snacks and then I guess after all that drinking and snacking they had to go pee and stuff. Then apparently people were allowed to stand in the aisle there, so more meandering. And the people by me kept talking!!! And the ushers kept running back and forth to stop people from taking pics.

    Loge tomorrow, not as close but maybe less distractions. Cannot wait!!

    omg i was right there with you. me and my best friend were on the end of the aisle but the left side of the aisle. we couldn't stand it, everyone was leaving every 4 seconds, there were so many people getting up and coming in and out of the doors it was ridiculous. and there were so many people saying EDDIEEE!!! and that stupid play the guitar bullshit, what the hell man! me and my friend agreed the concert was phenomenal but those shit heads made it so distracting.

    what else sucks is that we saw ed come out of the theatre and he shook everyone's hand and shook my friend's hand. yet he didn't even see me because i'm so effing short. *sigh* not his fault i know but still sucks i'm so short i couldn't reach out or see anything because everything was in my way. i've "met" him twice but never met him, if that's at all understandable... she tried to make me feel better by touching my head with her ed hand and giving me some of his atoms :lol:

    First off I'll say Glen Hansard is absolutely the man, class act and brilliant musician. Absolutely blew me away, and did not let me down at all as I was a big fan coming in and an even bigger one now. Shook my hand outside and said thank you to me. Great guy.

    Eddie's sets were great, really enjoyed Long Road, Long Nights and Light Today in particular. However, compared to when I saw him in 08 at NJPAC, the crowd was full of fucking pretentious rich snobs and/or people who didn't understand or appreciate Eddie's music. People stood up in every song, and it wasn't like i could yell at the one or two people doing it, it was the majority of the crowd. Why show up to an Eddie Vedder concert if your gonna be on your Blackberry the whole time or talking to your girlfriend or doing anything other than appreciating the music? Assholes in front of me were smoking pot and texting the entire show while laughing and talking among themselves, and there were tons of people yelling out obnoxious things and/or talking all throughout the show. An absolute disgrace. At NJPAC the entire place was silent during every second of Arc. I don't think there was a single silent second of Arc at the Beacon. Could have been a much more intimate and all around better experience. Kinda ruined the night for me.

    During the show I knew I had seen a few celebrities around but confirmed after waiting around for a long time after (2.5 hours) to see Eddie. Saw the Olsen twins, Josh Brolin, Kenny Rogers, a few surfing guys, and a few others I didn't know. Cool stuff. When Eddie came out after 2.5 hours of waiting I tried getting a handshake but he walked right by me and my buddy which was really disappointing but hopefully we'll get one tomorrow. All in all a good night, hoping for a better crowd and setlist tomorrow...Immortality/Parting Ways/Satellite are my wishes.

    Why is he shying away from Longing To Belong and Satellite so far?? Two great songs.. not that they are all not great..


    I'm surprised he didn't include Longing To Belong when he had the string quartet with him. Maybe Ed hasn't perfected it live yet, I think it might not come across well live maybe. Beautiful song though

    Looks to be the best of the 4 so far.

    Although I assume he'll just get better and better as the tour goes, with Seattle really blowing it out at the end.

    This fake ticket thing, the cops need to get involved and the venues. That is just horrible.
    It's this stuff that is beating people down.
    I believe in karma but want to see action now.

    Ed came on about 8:45 and played til about 10:50. The added string section was really a nice touch, I thought there was a great mix of Uke, ITW, PJ & covers. I thought Millworker was a better version last night then on previous tours also.

    For those going tonight keep your eyes peeled around town for some Uke songs and H20 on the Road promotional posters. Someone from Ed's crew is hanging them up for the taking, I saw them all over near the venue, (they were in Hartford too). Got a few xtras H20's so if anyone wants one send me a PM. They're not on heavy stock and may have edges ripped from the scotch tape being removed but are a pretty sweet free-be, about 20x24 color.
    The Uke songs one is B&W two sided & smaller, about 9x13, one side a pic of Ed w/Uke in front of his face, the other him jumping off a bluff, but I only got two of those so I'm gonna hang em front,back.
