my thoughts exactly! this setlist i like the best so far - soping for parting ways in san diego!
I did not hear a single problem with ed's voice. 10C gave me 4th row and it was awesome!
I did have a problem with the camera's and song request yellers, people it is not the place for it.
I also managed to meet ed afterward
No, it's a uke song from 2002. Ed played it at a couple of benefits in '02. It came from the same batch of songs as Can't Keep, Broken Heart, Goodbye, Longing To Belong, and Satellite.
Damn good songs. Damn good. The main reason I would like just one of these shows released.

Satelite was the song written for Damien Echols and his wife. Great song....great show. I got lucky through 10C and wound up with 2nd row center seats. By far the closest I has ever been. And I thought I was close in Santa Cruz (7th row). Just speechless.
Lot of yelling for requests. Best one by far was for Footsteps while Ed was having a smoke...walks over to his amp'd footboard (not really sure what it is) and stomps around...."Best songs are the ones I can play while having a smoke" or something along those lines. Finally Ed just told everyone to 'shut the fuck up'. At one point someone yells out 'Who you votin' for'? 10 seconds later an Obama '08 banner gets carried across the stage.
Ed just seemed perfect...might have had a cold, but sounded excellent. Parting Ways was incredible, Porch, everything from Into the Wild, Growin' Up...could go on and on...just unbelievable.
Absolute pleasure to see EV in a venue like Zellerbach. The sound was excellent and it was nice to hear him so chatty and happy to be there.
Right after Liam Finn's set I cruised out to go to the bathroom and as I emptied out into the side hallway I look up and there is Sean Penn with his son walking towards the back stage entrance, pretty cool sighting.
Arc was nice to hear, as was Parting Ways.
Funny Ed-ism - "Tom Waits once told me silence is like a blank sheet of paper, when you want quiet you don't want to be looking at a page with scribbles all over it." classic!
His story about seeing Fugazi at Berkeley Square in '93 and talking with some guy for 45 minutes ended up being Tim Armstrong from Rancid.
Society with Jerry Hannan, awesome!
Have fun everyone who's going tonight, wish I was.

Thanks again 10c
anyone going tonight want to pick me up either would be greatly appreciated, PM me if you're up for it.
cheers,
LF
same - 4th row (DD) seat 10... met Eddie too - right when he left the building...
I kept wanted to go to my car and get the poster I got signed, but I didn't wanna miss him... luckily the one of the guys that was standing with me (3 of us) had a playbill that fell out when he was gettin his poster signed..
awesome show!
I was 4th row seat 5...and I was the one who told ed he was my pete townsend and he leaned back and said "I get that"
He seemed pretty comfortable up there, not making much eye contact with the crowd at first but warming right up. I am Mine was fantastic, Dead Man Walking, Around the Bend, eeeeek! Seems like he's sticking to a basic outline for all the shows so far, with a few gems thrown in. Hopefully the two Berkeley shows won't be identical, back to back.
It was such a heartfelt intimate night. Since I was lucky enough to be right up front too, I'm wondering what the show was like from the mezz (since I'm up there tonite).
yeah I saw that, I wondered too

This has been answered, but I can't stress enough how much of a beautiful little song this is. If there was ever a song to match that longing, loving and determined feeling, it's Satellite. It speaks to my heart.
yes, very beautiful song. definitely a special moment last night getting to hear it played live for the first time, and with DE's wife in the audience.
Liam Finn, this guy is incredible. He seemed to be a little more calm last night than in SC, but needless to say, I'd go see this guy over and over again. He's a talent that no one else is like.
It was great to meet up with some friends met on the 06 tour and to meet some new friends from on here for the first time last night. I thought the crowd was really good last night. Some funny comments here and there, but a little more subdued than SC.
Have fun tonight everyone!

I still can't sleep!!
"I'm not used to being around so many people who are smarter than me.....I'm usually....", and then glanced from side to side behind him, a reference to the rest of the band. Subtle joke, but very funny.
i think it was around 2 or somethin.. too tired for work today
thnx ten club for coming through with these seats and thnx ed liam ej and jerry for a fantastic show.
the feeling I had leaving the show was that I can't wait to see the full band again. ed is great, but the whole band is unparalleled.
Yeah, one that that is a kick ass artist, entertainer, facilitator, activist and one bad ass patriotic American.
Rock on Brother Ed, rock on.
A standing ovation on the upper level from me and my brother when the huge OBAMA 08 sign came out. (Why wasn't EVERYONE else standing?... dammit ? !!!)

How about a little props to the guy who shouted
"YOU SHOULD HAVE WON AN ACADEMY AWARD!"
Oh wait that was me...
Thanks for the applause everyone. I felt pretty vulnerable after I yelled it.
Loved his response:
"What would Chris McCandless have done with a gold thing like that?"
F'ing brilliant.
I was going to follow it up with:
"'ENCHANTED' SUCKS!"
But I decided to quit while I was ahead. Especially after his awesome. Tom Waitts quote about "Silence is like a blank piece a paper."
Sorry to doodle on your easel, friend. I hope my words were received well.

Forever Young. Awesome. I'm gonna learn to play that song again today for my kids.
No props, people who feel they need to be a part of the show annoy the hell out of the majority ... just silly my man ... no matter how well you thought you were received.
