2:30 hours of unbelievable music, Jason Baldwin of West Memphis 3 was in attendance. I am Mine dedicated to him. Boom came out and did Betterman with Ed. Ed was promoting a charity, "EB" I think that his wife is a big part of. A lady in the audience shouted " I will donate $2500 if you play "Black" Ed said he had to think about it and at the end of the 2nd encore he brought Boom out and after a rough start, it was the most amazing sing along complete with the "we belong together" tag. Thank You, to whoever donated that.

Probably the 1st time for a song called "Good Woman" by Cat Power was also played. I am a Patriot was a big surprise also. Ed's brothers were there. Natalie Maines joined Ed for "You Belong to Me" and "Golden State" and Glen, Boom, Natalie and Ed closed with "Hard Sun"

Great stories, and amazing crowd that Ed thanked repeatedly. An awesome venue, beautiful sound, and a huge thanks to Ed for an amazing 2 nights in Vegas!!!!!

    Still in shock at how broken down and raw 'black'was tonite. Regardless of that, the entire show was full of special moments starting off with glen opening the nite mic less and dark. The crowd responded big time and it went on from there. So surprised at at how much soul was in the venue tonite. Vegas of all places. Eddie was lovin it. If you were not there, it is hard to put into words what happend tonite. If you were there, you know what im sayin........,

    Stunning show. And the crowd was epic, amazed that a Vegas crowd could be like that. Glen and Ed were amazing and surprises all night. So glad to hear Ed and Natalie Maines sing "You Belong to Me", absolutely love that song....and then Black and a great sing along of Hard Sun.

    Absolutely stunning.

    And I met Boom!

    Amazing show by both Glen and Ed...but as a local, I really don't appreciate both of them repeatedly bashing Las Vegas. There's a lot more to our city than casinos, gambling, and strip clubs. But, it's not the first time he's done it and it's probably not the last. Regardless, the amount of rarities tonight were amazing (I Am a Patriot, Driftin', Black with Boom on the B3, Golden State). I just wish he would have played Dead Man Walking on one of the two nights and refrained from bashing Las Vegas so much...

    So cool to hear it! Just FYI, Ed played "Good Woman" night 1 in Amsterdam this year, it was so unbelievably beautiful!!! Would have loved to see "You Belong to Me" must have been epic.
