    Just got back to DC after catching Eddie last night. What a show! Energy was high, with opening night and Halloween to boot. The music was great and Eddie interacted with the crowd a lot. Eddie asked for the house lights to see costumes and asked if anyone came as the "proverbial sexy nurse", joking like it's something he's tried in the past. (Is there a story there somewhere?)

    The only low point was the butthead heckler Glen had to deal with in the opening set. Luckily the guy was quiet or kicked-out for Ed's set.

    And did anyone else see the skydiver's after the show, jumping from a helicopter over the strip? We heard they were filming hangover 3...a crazy end to an awesome night.

    Wow what a show. I just want to thank Ed for such a great set list. Some of you know my story but for those that don't the short version is this ,show was my do over in a way. Last Ed show I attended (Long Beach 7/6/11) was clouded by my moms tragic death in a vehicle accident here in Vegas the very next day. Needless to say the Long Beach show was a blur.
    Last nights show was a sort of memorial/rebirth for me with Man of the Hour & Arc. The End was touching and a perfect song for me to dedicate to my husband as he has been a rock by my side through it all.
    The show took all my worries and stresses even if just for a few hours, as on top of still mourning my moms death I am now dealing with a pretty scary medical thing awaiting test results that may potentially change my life forever. So thanks Ed for allowing me to sit there and have all those worries leave me even if just for a few hours.
    Can't wait for tonight's show <3

    P.S. can people please, please stop yelling random shit out during the show? I'm sure Eddie knows he's Eddie so stop screaming his name out every 2 seconds, some of us are truly trying to listen to him. And the people blurting out song titles, it's not request hour let the man do his thing.


    Sorry to hear about your mom. What an amazing setlist and a lovely experience to be able to feel at peace through music. My husband and I will be at the Phoenix show on Sunday remembering our daughter (who was born still on 04/11/10). I can't think of a better way to spend this anniversary.

    We ended up walking back to the strip from the Palms after the show and totally ended up being right under where the jumpers were landing! Saw 2 jumps. It was cool wasn't it?!! I was wondering what they were filming!

    Oh and I loved loved LOVED the show and all the in between song crowd interaction! I think I cried twice. Ha ha. Came all the way from Vancouver,B.C. Originally had tickets to April show and wasn't sure how on earth I was gonna make it out again for October but ended up winning a 3 night Vegas trip through a twitter contest!!! So thankful for that!! A perfect Halloween.

    I'm still on a high from both nights and re-living the memories. I went to both shows and not much can beat Black on Night 2, but Night 1 was also an amazing show for me.

    First a big thank you to Jopetto75 who emailed me his ticket, trusting I would send him the money, a stranger he has never met from Canada. Meant a lot. (Jopetto75, have a great time in Phx, Alq, & El Paso!) And thank you to MamasanBren for the pre-party. Met some nice folks there.

    You're True was an unexpected treat for me ... it is one of my favorites from uke songs, and I never thought I would hear it in Vegas. Guaranteed has a special meaning for me, and it brought tears to my eyes that night - made feel so close to my dad who passed away 4.5 years ago, probably the point that I will never forget about that night. And then a few minutes later - Man of the Hour. More tears but good ones, you know.

    Loved Ed's rant about Michael Brown, and then laying in to Masters of War. Amazing intensity.

    And I loved loved loved the version of Porch. Just could not stay seated for that entire song (sorry to the folks behind me).

    Glen Hansard is amazing too (Astral Weeks - holy cow was that ever unexpected and intense and awesome). Falling Slowly - wow.

    Arc gave me goosebumps and chills.

    Felt very very lucky to be there, and incredibly grateful.

    I'm sorry to hear that, I hope you can find the same peace I was able to feel during the show. Big hugs to you

    I was at both shows at The Pearl in Vegas & they were my first and they were mind blowing! I walked out of that room a different person!! Hearing & singng Black along with Eddie was something i never expected but I'm so glad it happened! Thanks to the lady that donated $5000 to hear it.

    THinking there's an error in setlist -- he didn't play "Sleepless Nights" twice did he?

    Bet No. 2 should be "Sleeping By Myself."

    Unbelievable show, two great nights with EV, great venue to see him play. Ed killed it on 10/31 but the best part of the two nights was when he played Black with Boom on the pump organ for the lady who donated $5,000. Great fans, great show, I just wish EV was a bigger fan of Las Vegas because us locals would KILL to see him play here more often.
