    Actually I can´t remember what Ed said "word-to-word" as he was mumbling quite a bit, and made several stops during sentences (understandable, since it must have been quite an emotional ride for him, and he probably really had to think about his choice of words).
    He didn´t specifically mention Roskilde which I think was a good thing, he more sort of indirectly mentioned it in a universal way, if you know what I mean, it´s kinda hard to explain.
    Somewhere along the lines he said something like all of us walking the road/path of life, and tonight all our personal paths crossed. In other words, he sort of celebrated life by saying that we had to look forward and just follow that path wherever it may take us.
    At some other point, he mentioned that it was actually 15 years ago since they first played in Denmark, when all people tend to think about is what happened 7 years ago.

    He got pretty emotional during Long road and LBC. Whether he was too emotional to sing, or prefered to leave out certain lines, I don´t know.
    He didnit sing the.."seven years go today" line for instance....

    Hoped that helped a bit (:
    As I said before, can´t remember the exact words, I´m still far too excited about that show last night so my memory is kinda blurred right now (:

    All in all, I felt that he mentioned it in a good way and mostly let the music speak for itself.
    He didn´t say too little or too much. It felt rather perfect....
