    I liked Far Behind...Hard Sun takes the cake because it was such a great finisher. Ed was loving it...

    I also enjoyed Arc...I'd really love to know the details of how that works and he gets those sounds.

    Arc was incredible.
    Man of the Hour LITERALLY almost made me cry. I did have to fight back tears.

    Ed uses a loop recorder. It's a silver metal box that he brings out. Kind of reminds me of the hearing tests they did in school (box wise). There are a bunch of nobs and Ed sings the looping part then just pushes a button to loop it over and over. He then sings the higher parts like (riot act) with the mic over those. He has headphones on so he can hear the loops so the mic parts sound right and he can sing those on key with the loop. Kind of like they do with in ear monitors during a regular show. I saw Ed play Arc in Dallas AMAZING! Aside from the fact he asked for people to be quiet for that one and they screamed like it was a sporting event.

    When I saw Ed in Vancouver, the 2nd night he did Hard Sun, I BAWLED my eyes out, big fat tears...He looked so gleeful singing it...and I remember back in the early 90's singing it (when I was alone) like it was the only song that mattered...and I have a lot of sentimental attachment to the song....

    Anyway, there Ed was singing this song and being so in the moment and so happy - I started to choke up and then came the water works...My gosh...ED....singing a song that has so much meaning with so much meaning....

    So, to all of you who see him on this east coast tour and feel overwhelmed with joy during Hard Sun...good on you!!

    Guaranteed because he initially couldn't get the second chord right (after 4 tries) and went into No Ceiling. Was totally disappointed he couldn't nail the song. Then after 2 more songs, he instantly went into Guaranteed and made the night.

    Also, Porch, only because it was a pleasant surprise and he (and us in the crowd) totally pulled it off.

    I just stood there with my mouth open
    Wishlist made me cry, sooo beautiful, and Man of the Hour. I loved Porch and was surprised to hear Lukin. He has such versatility, I was amazed.

    I was the same way
    I even cried during Small town and I have heard that song a million times

    millworker

    (James Taylor cover)

    emotionally charged and jaw dropping in Ed's show

    Millworker

    Now my grandfather was a sailor
    He blew in off the water
    My father was a farmer
    And i, his only daughter
    Took up with a no good millworking man
    From massachusetts
    Who dies from too much whiskey
    And leaves me these three faces to feed

    Millwork ain't easy
    Millwork ain't hard
    Millwork it ain't nothing
    But an awful boring job
    I'm waiting for a daydream
    To take me through the morning
    And put me in my coffee break
    Where I can have a sandwich
    And remember

    Then it's me and my machine
    For the rest of the morning
    For the rest of the afternoon
    And the rest of my life

    Now my mind begins to wander
    To the days back on the farm
    I can see my father smiling at me
    Swinging on his arm
    I can hear my granddad's stories
    Of the storms out on lake eerie
    Where vessels and cargos and fortunes
    And sailors' lives were lost

    Yes, but it's my life has been wasted
    And I have been the fool
    To let this manufacturer
    Use my body for a tool
    I can ride home in the evening
    Staring at my hands
    Swearing by my sorrow that a young girl
    Ought to stand a better chance

    So may I work the mills just as long as I am able
    And never meet the man whose name is on the label

    It be me and my machine
    For the rest of the morning
    And the rest of the afternoon
    Gone for the rest of my life
    "This here's a REQUEST!"
