ed was definitely a bit on the hammered side - he came out saying he was kind of "depressed - since its not professional to say hungover". Said he was up late talking to Echol's wife the night before, getting angry at the injustice of the system, most likely DRINKING his anger away. He seemed waaay more comfortable tonite, more in his element, maybe due some vino? Liam was saying how good the wine was he was drinking....
Right before I'm Open he made comments about how some people might think the song has to do with wanting a relationship, maybe a relationship with a woman or maybe with something "just below a woman - god". It was super sweet. He talked about his little girl as well, how she loves to listen to his music and dance around.
He seems to be on great terms with Sean Penn, invited him out on stage and shared some wine and a smoke with him, then sang him a song he wrote for him the day after he met him. It was great - Sean said something like Ed has the soul he aspires to have. Next came McCready and they ROCKED watchtower.
wow
:O
My only beef was with idiotic comments and screaming from the crowd, which he was really patient with, and all the camera flashes during the first song. WTF???
**There is a sickness, a sickness coming over me - like watching freedom, being sucked straight out to sea**
Masters of War played early in the set ... after the song, he called the previous night's audience lame ... said it was like pulling teeth to get people to sing along .... then he blamed himself, saying something along the lines of that if he couldn't get people on a campus to sing along on a protest song, he's not doing his job ... thus, he felt Masters of War would get us in the mood.
(interesting that night 1 had 10c seats, and night two did not, yet night 2's audience was into it a lot more with the vocals)
Ed looked genuinely appreciative of night 2's loud chorus on No More ... visably moved even ...
He mentioned recording ... let me say that again, he openly mentioned they were recording. WE BETTER SEE THIS!
Ed actually told a story about his daugther ... how she likes "No Ceiling" ... I'll let someone else fill in the detials, it was cute.
Before the Santa Cruz song, he stated one of the reasons he was up until 4 am last night is that he was trying to find a word to rhyme with Berkeley .... then (in jest, kind of) he said with the poor performance of the night 1 crowd, Berkeley didn't deserve its own song. Man, he was not happy with the night one crew.
At one point when Mike and Liam were closing out the show with Ed, Ed took over on drums and Liam took the guitar, and Liam rocked out.
Mike's intro .... Ed stated he was very thankful to the band, and that he's brought something along this tour with him from each of the guys .... the rug from Jeff, box of drum sticks from Matt, a guitar from Stone .... then, he said he didn't have anything from Mike (I knew it was coming once he said that) .... he said he put a call into to Mike to fedex him something .... Mike was then escorted on the stage on a hand cart ... the place went berzerk (makes sense for bezerkeley).
Ed poured a few glasses of wine at the end of one of the first encore (I tihnk it was then) ... handed one glass to someone in the front row, they clinked and drank ...
As mentioned, 1 per customer for posters and zippos .... zippos, out of stock in 5 minutes, posters (the blue green ones) were available as late as 5 minutes before Ed's set (!)
ok ... enough of my babbling ...

Tonight was my 39th PJ/Ed show (3rd this week). This was a show I will never forget. I'm not going to do a fanview, however, I will say this....
Over the years I have been asked countless times why I see the same band play over and over again. Nights like tonight are the reason why.
Love your post - there are some great reviews in this thread, even if they do make me a teeny bit jealous COME TO ENGLAND ED PLEASE (OR EUROPE AT LEAST)

I'm still in shock from seeing MIKE. Ed just keeps getting better and better. During the show in Santa Cruz show on Saturday 4/5 I regret not yelling out, "Please tell Mike we said happy birthday!" I didn't because I didn't want to the rude jerk yelling stuff out. So to actually see Mike and yell out happy birthday (though he didn't he me over the cheers of the crowd) was ...there are no words, you guys know, I got to hear fuckin Mike McCready play his guitar tonight!!

I have never seen him on drums - that was incredible. he was really good.
