Setlist (somewhat out of order)
Set 1: Walking the Cow, Around the Bend, I Am Mine, Dead Man, I'm Open, Man of the Hour, No Ceiling, Guaranteed, Millworker, Far Behind, Rise (w/Dirty Frank tease), Soon Forget, Broken Heart, You're True, Driftin', Hide Your Love Away, Picture in a Frame, Masters of War, Trouble, I Won't Back Down, Porch (may have missed 1 or 2)
Encore 1: Society (w/Liam), Throw Your Arms Around Me (w/Liam), Lukin, Arc
Encore 2: No More, I Am a Patriot, So You Wanna Be a Rock and Roll Star, Hard Sun (w/Liam and EJ Barnes)
Okay, so the show kicked ass. Eddie was super funny. But first, here's the cool part: 10C screwed up some of the seats, and put my girlfriend and I in separate rows (she was right in front of me). Well, we politely complained (I tried being very nice, as normally I don't make a big deal about these things) and THEY PUT US IN THE FRONT ROW!!!!!! It was crazy. But back to the show . . . a weird Johnny Cash-ish version of Elderly Woman started off the show as intro music, and Ed came out very hungover. He was also extremely political tonight, and made a funny comment something to the effect of "If me being hungover means I fuck up a lot, none of you get your money back . . .in fact, I will keep it all and use it for rehab. Also, if any of you are Republicans and want your money back, you don't get it either. I will keep it and hopefully use it to contribute to the demise of future Republicans."
Before Rise, somebody shouted "Dirty Frank!" Ed responded, "Yeah, Dirty Frank on a mandolin" and played a few bars. "That's what we call a shitty suggestion. But thank you for letting me make fun of you, prick." It was quite funny. Add to that a Barry White impression with a preset on the looping machine, and all the great music, and you have a wonderful 2 hr 15 minute show. Liam kicked ass also. Can't wait until tomorrow night.

Thanks for sharing!
Word has it the show was being filmed from the back. Any truth to this?
There were definitely some big serious cameras back there, seemed more like for still shots. Clearly, I'm no photographer but the lighting seemed darker than other nights and Ed had an odd reddish glow for a lot of it. Not ideal for filming I would think.
Late at night I hear the trees, they're singing with the dead...overhead...”
