I had the great privilege to attend the secret solo show tonight in Seattle. Before the setlist and fanview, if you haven't already please watch the video on EB and consider donating. Quite a worthy cause!
http://causethewave.org/

Setlist:

Trouble
Dead Man Walking
Girl From the North Country (Dylan)
Soon Forget (by request - Ed: "So we're making requests now? Oh well, fuck it! But if I screw it up it's your fault")
Can't Keep
Sleeping By Myself
Without You
Needle and The Damage Done (Young)
The End
Far Behind
Setting Forth
Guaranteed
Rise
Take it With Me (Waits) (Ed says it's the 1st time he's ever performed this one)
Betterman (alternate version)
Immortality
Ukulele Anthem (Palmer)
Porch
Hard Sun
Imagine (Lennon)
Rockin In The Free World (Young)

This show was incredibly good. The audience was 90 people in a small production studio. The stage was setup like an Ed solo show. He had the bat wings on his amp, the reel to reel, the kick pedal and box, etc.and wore the white hat I think he was wearing at Bridge School. The audience were seated in 9 rows of folding chairs. I was back row which put me maybe 20 feet from Ed. At one point Ed had one of his sidekicks pour wine for people. My buddy got some accidently poured on his head so he got to keep the bottle. Ed mentioned that you could ask Bono or Bruce about playing for a room of 50,000 people and they'd say it's no problem but if you put them in a room with 90 people they'd be totally nervous. Ukulele Anthem was really funny and sung to a girl who got to sit on stage and got the uke he had used after the song was over. The 10C winner was also announced and stood up.

We all got a gift and mine was the Danny Clinch book autographed by Danny and all of Pearl Jam. Alex Silver, the chairman of the EB research partnership was there hanging in the reception area before the show as was Ed's wife. On the way in we each got a bandage to wear around our wrists to remind us of what these people go through. You could really tell how important this cause was for those folks. I met some really cool people before the show and just had a great time.

    I had the incredible privilege of being there as well. Can only echo the review above which is very well written in saying that it was one of the most special nights I will ever have musically.

    Special thanks to EB Research for doing great work, and Ed's wife for making the rounds to very eloquently come speak to many of us regarding the cause.

    All I can say is it was a great night for a great cause, and one I feel incredibly fortunate to have been a part of.

    Thanks for the review -- sounds like a great show! I bid on a ticket and didn't win (probably better off since I don't live anywhere near Seattle!!), but I'm glad to hear that it went so well...and it's exciting that funds were raised for such a great cause!

    Would be great if he could put this show out on CD or download like he did with Imagine. Many people would buy it and proceeds could go to Heal EB research, so it would be for a good cause and make us fans happy too. :)
    Maybe we should start a petition thread for that, I remember there was one for Imagine back then.

    Only 20 songs? Pfffft. Lame.

    Kidding. Sounds like a great experience. I would have loved to have been there, even though it would have been one huge logistical nightmare for me.

    Definitely glad I entered the contest by donating to the cause.

    I donated...hoping for the long shot, but still felt good giving to a cause that Ed cared deeply for. Must have been an incredible experience. Thank you for the description.

    Still curious... How did people get tickets (other than the 1 winner via the $10 donation to EB)?
    I'm trying to think of a really good signature.

    Was it strange at all with only 90 in the room and one guy playing music for 2 hours? Did he leave for an encore?
  • TunnelThroughDenialTunnelThroughDenial Posts: 769
    Every year Microsoft has a thing called the give campaign where the company matches employee donations. Ed's charity was one you could donate to and seats were up for an employee auction. I know how much some people paid and lets just say as a group Microsoft raised several hundred thousand dollars for EB.

    It wasn't strange with only 90 people since we were a loud and excited group. Ed didn't leave before the encore, he just kept on playing...
