I really can't stand when audience members speak out (positively or negatively). Hell, I can barely stand when they loudly sing along to a quiet song. The shout-outs are just ridiculous though. Everyone thinks they're so funny or cute or elite or clever. You're just annoying. Not even Eddie cares if you're requesting the ultra-hip rare B-side that only hardcore fans know.
If Ed was ranting about some political crap I wouldn't even boo. I just wouldn't pay attention. And why would I think that he would want one of us to duet with him? We're not listed in the program. He is. We pay to sit and watch. This is why quiet intimate shows sometimes don't work.
He actually said when I walked up and asked to sing Hunger Strike "I believe in reincarnation but I dont think you can pull that off." Then you left out the part where the guy came flying off the stage and escorted me to the door and booted me out. Ed was interacting with the crowd all night. I was respectful and even said "sir" when I asked to sing it. What did I do to get ejected? I drove all the way back to OKC embarrassed because my brother came from Nashville to see the show with me. I can understand kicking someone out for being too drunk or physically trying to get up on stage but all I did was ask a question and would have sat back down and enjoyed the rest of the show. I was even respectful to the security guard as he was shoving me towards the door. I did nothing out of the ordinary of what was already taking place. Freedom of speech just didnt exist last night. Kicked out for asking a question. Ive been a 10C member for years and this is how I was treated. It was a really sad day for me. I feel like a part of me died last night. BTW Ed I would have nailed it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7ar9PvcvBw
For the record: Dude can perform, just doesn't know when to? :nono:
Best show of the tour ( at least of the ones I have seen). We were lucky enough to get 2nd row tickets, and ended up with the biggest jerk sitting right behind us. He was drunk off his ass before the show even started, and then he was talking loudly through Glen's unplugged song "Say it to me Now". So, like anyone would, my husband turned around and motioned for him to be quiet. Most people would apologize, but this guy, like a 5 year old yelled " you be quiet, you can't tell me what to do"! We let it go, but he continued to talk throughout the entire set. My husband turned around again, motioned shh, and said please, please. This guys response was to tell his wife, "let him turn again, let him, just wait". He drunkenly mumbled something about pulling his hair too, lol. Really guy? I mean come on. We weren't trying to sart anything. We just wanted to hear and enjoy the show. He was also stomping on the back of my chair, or the floor, couldn't really tell, but it was irritating. My husband went to get security after Glen's set, just in case this guy got out of control. His wife was then trying to rally the whole 3rd row against us. I tried to diffuse telling her, we don't want to start anything, everyone just wants to enjoy the show and have a good time. They thought they had the right to disrupt everyone around them because "they paid good money for the seats". We all did, and we shouldn't have to listen to you instead I'd the show we all paid "good money" for. Anyway, just had to vent. It almost ruined a great show, but my husband got personally handed a pick by Eddie, so that made it all worth it. Plus that setlist, wow! And they played our song "Can't Help Fallig in Love", and I cried. LOL Hoping for a better crowd tonight.

Well it was Ed's solo show not some random guy in the crowd's oppurtunity to have his 15 minutes. I was humiliated for you dude. Seemed like a pretty unstable move or maybe you are very arrogant.
Just wanted a dream to come true. Not arrogant or wanting my 15 mins at all. I can sing it and would have loved the opportunity. He didnt seem offended by it. I would have taken the comments, laughed it off and enjoyed the rest of the show. I've been to Cornell shows where he lets someone come up and sing Vedders part I guess I just thought it possible.

Kudos to security. Sit down and watch the show, its not about you.
Story could have read... dude sings with his idol. Instead it read dude gets to talk to his idol. I'm fine with it now that I think about it.

So what happened here.
During the show you just walked up to the stage, and asked if you could sing a song with Eddie?
Were you sitting up close the whole show?
Had you planned on doing this the entire time?
Just something that popped in to your head, and you took a chance?
Details please.
Take me piece by piece..... Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
My fan club seats where way in the the back so I walked up in between songs and said "sir can I sing hunger strike with you?" He said what and I said it again. He said his funny stuff listed above plus what I posted that wasnt listed and I was laughing at it. Would have went and sat back down but never got the chance. My bro and I had seen Chris let someone sing Eddies part at one of his shows and my bro was like just go up there as ask him. Whats it going to hurt.

I haven't been able to check setlists for these solo shows, but I was pretty sure we were getting some "deep cuts" and rarities. Especially when Ed took the paper from the guy in the audience and played Education (saw this at the Vic, too). Immortality was my highlight, especially when kick box (drum) got to rolling. I wondered why the cardboard box was on the stage, but a cardboard box didn't look out of place. Good story about Ray Charles, too. That song left me transcended. AWESOME, AWESOME show!
Loved the parts where Ed forgot the Wishlist lyrics TWICE. It may have been during this part that Ed said it is hard to concentrate. Takes a sip or two of his drink, then pulls out the smokes and sings the rest of the song while smoking (may have been with the white Strat and white smoke waffting up - looked pretty cool). Then says something like "after 20 years you can whatever the f#1@ you want." He laughed it off graciously. Forth of July was nice. I had only heard Robert Earl Keen (alt country) play this song; I thought it was a REK original.
What about the girl (Hannah?) who came up out of the audience to sing a song? Who was that and what song?
This was my first Ed solo show and I was surprised the guitars (electric and acoustic) wre turned up o loud. It wasn't too loud, but more than I imagined. Could have been to keep dissuade people from yelling.
My one ... well, two disappointments were 1) people yelling / whooping and 2) my fan club tix were balcony, section J, row 3. They were nearly straight back. The tickets were gifts from me to a friend and I kept telling them they would be in the first 8 rows (my mistake!). I was completely embarrassed when they ended up in the balcony. Why did I give my fan club tickets away? I have to sit in handicap seating, but wanted a friend to experience such an extraordinary moment up close. My handicap is always good at the Brady - row k and dead center for me last night. I love The Brady. It is an awesome place to see a show!!!
Keep on rockin' in the free world.
p.s. wish I could afford to go again tonight.
p.p.s. a friend called me as I was getting out of the car to go to the show and asked what I was doing. blah, blah, blah, they said exactly four years ago that night we went to see Metallica at the BOK Center. FWIW It was colder than crap for the Met show and EV was much better
My friend Caleb was the lucky guy who got pulled on stage last night. Right before we walked into the Brady, one of Ed's staffers randomly walked up to him and offered him front row seats. It was awesome to see a friend, and huge EV fan, get to experience that.

The irony wasn't lost on me. I really thought Lukin was a response to the guy approaching the stage. As soon as he was taken out Ed seemed to just dive right into it, like he was getting something out. That's how I saw it.
It was a great night despite the rowdy audience. I really loved him winging Education from the audience request. From both nights, I liked the first night's setlist better. It was more energetic as a whole and playful.

Yeah it was my third EV solo show, and I enjoyed this one the most (other than the obnoxious crowd/picture taking). It was the first show for 2 of the 3 other people I came to the show with. They really enjoyed themselves as well. They now "get it"...

this show was so good! despite the overly eager to participate crowd - Ed and Glen both were amazing - and you knew it was going to be special when he did the Porno for Pyros - Soon Forget - Around the Bend combo so early in the night.
I thought Ed and Glen both played loose and free and seemed to really be just trying some ideas out - which is super fun for people (most of us on here) who have seen several shows.
Don't get me wrong - I love hearing the ones that are played every night - i don't take for granted that some fans never get to hear them played live and i know i am fortunate to hear whatever i get but when he plays a pump organ or a killer version of IMMORTALITY (best song of the night) ...... i just can't explain how awesome it feels but i am sure most of you know what i mean
The show was wonderful. Wish we could throw drunken screamers into a sound proofed room, but I'll suck it up and call it all part of the experience. Some people were speaking German Shepard before the show even started. What fun is it, to go to a show without bootlegs and not remember any of it?
Glen Hansard is amazing, and I love him and Eddie together.
The poster is my favorite from any show I've attended, and it will be going up in my office as soon as I get it framed.
I figure I'm a connoisseur of Okie rarities at this point, having heard Driftin' twice.
I liked the Tulsa poster, as well. The one in TX w/ the belt buckle looked cool, too, but those are the only two I saw. When I unrolled my poster the smell of the ink was so strong that about five people around me physically turned to look at me as if I farted or something. They said they couldn't believe the ink so strong and fresh.
RE: Driftin'. PJ played that song (unplanned in 2003 in OKC (1st show after Denver) during a technical difficultly) and Ed said for sarcasims sake that the song was written while flying OVER Oklahoma. I think that is how it went down.
RE: drunken screamers. Just my opinion: stupid, classless people, who don't realize what it takes to be a musician. Neither do they realize what a pure treat it is to have such a HIGH level of talent in the theater. I know I'm bitching to the choir. These f#@%er just don't ... well, I lost my train iof thought. Clearly, they and I are there for different reasons. Like the bumper sticker says, "Sit down, shut up and hang on!"

Hey thanks for the ticket --- that was a really fun time. I hope i was 'cool' because that is what you were looking for haha.
I loved the show, I did feel at all the yelling out by a few in the audience was unnecessary but Eddie Handled it very professionally. As far as asking for Hunger Strike, again yelling out seemed rude to me and not necessary. I know I was there to hear Eddie's choices of songs to sing. Great show such a small and intimate venue. When Eddie and Glen sang without mikes it sounded so pure! I really enjoyed it and wanted to stay for the second show, but alas I had to get back to work. Every fan I met was loving the concert and happy with the show.
Thank you Eddie cant wait to see you and Pearl Jam again!

Yeah, from where I was sitting it appeared that he hit something incorrectly, which was immediately followed by a loud noise. He said something like, "I messed it up" to someone offstage. George came out, but EV told him not to worry about it, and grabbed a guitar.
It looked like "Arc" was also on the setlist for night 2, but wasn't played then either.
Yes, I noticed and thought the same thing. He just rolled with it and played The End.

I thought Ed and Glen both played loose and free and seemed to really be just trying some ideas out - which is super fun for people (most of us on here) who have seen several shows.
Don't get me wrong - I love hearing the ones that are played every night - i don't take for granted that some fans never get to hear them played live and i know i am fortunate to hear whatever i get but when he plays a pump organ or a killer version of IMMORTALITY (best song of the night) ...... i just can't explain how awesome it feels but i am sure most of you know what i mean
Glen Hansard is amazing, and I love him and Eddie together.
The poster is my favorite from any show I've attended, and it will be going up in my office as soon as I get it framed.
I figure I'm a connoisseur of Okie rarities at this point, having heard Driftin' twice.
RE: Driftin'. PJ played that song (unplanned in 2003 in OKC (1st show after Denver) during a technical difficultly) and Ed said for sarcasims sake that the song was written while flying OVER Oklahoma. I think that is how it went down.
RE: drunken screamers. Just my opinion: stupid, classless people, who don't realize what it takes to be a musician. Neither do they realize what a pure treat it is to have such a HIGH level of talent in the theater. I know I'm bitching to the choir. These f#@%er just don't ... well, I lost my train iof thought. Clearly, they and I are there for different reasons. Like the bumper sticker says, "Sit down, shut up and hang on!"
Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you Eddie cant wait to see you and Pearl Jam again!

Yeah, from where I was sitting it appeared that he hit something incorrectly, which was immediately followed by a loud noise. He said something like, "I messed it up" to someone offstage. George came out, but EV told him not to worry about it, and grabbed a guitar.
It looked like "Arc" was also on the setlist for night 2, but wasn't played then either.
