    Sorry, I wasn't at the show.  Just wondering if ed brought up Chris Cornell tonight. Can anyone fill me in that was at the show?
    The show was pretty much entirely about Chris without directly mentioning him. It was clear Eddie couldn't bring himself to talk about it head on. He spoke a little how the healing process can start with music and made numerous references to how sad he was and how much he and his friends were struggling.

    Frankly it is the bravest performance I have ever seen. At times it seemed like he was a word or two away from breaking into tears. He mumbled more than usual, he violently stamped into the floor on Immortality and others and after The End I thought he was ready to just walk off and not play anymore.

    There were funny moments and he picked up in the second half. You could hear the crowd emotionally gasp when Light Years started.


    On the outro to Sometimes he cried out "Where were you, dear God?" It was heart breaking.
    If anyone has this show I'd love to hear it.

    There was no doubt that however Ed chose to approach this show in the midst of all the turmoil that he would stay true to himself and all of us. My admiration continues.

    The wisdom that the old can't give away

    How I choose to feel is how I am

    Seems like Ed found solace in music through this, just like many of us, by listening and playing. That song really captures a lot of the moment.

    I can't understand how he got through singing Song of Good Hope

    so glad Glen is there on this tour with him

    Amazing, strong performance by Eddie. With some humour too, including Eddie's reaction to the high pitched girl screaming "Eddieeee!" : "What's your name ? Marie ?" :) Strong stuff all around, and much love in the audience and on stage.

    Amen. That's a hard song to get through emotionally even BEFORE the recent tragic events.

    that's exactly how I feel as well.  I'm still so bummed out a week later so I obviously can't imagine how he must be feeling.  He is such a strong strong man to be able to perform at all.  Music does help us heal as he said and it was such a deep setlist, I'm not sure nor is he probably that I'll be able to begin that healing process anytime soon.  His strength is amazing & inspiring.

    Had Man of the Hour or Thumbing My Way been played...ugh. That would have been a tear inducer just from seeing it on the list.

    Looks like the sort of set you'd love to get your hands on as a boot! Some Ed solo, PJ, covers, duets with Glen. 
    In what way would that differ from any EV solo show?
    I was probably stating the obvious there of course. More so the specific song choice was what I was getting at. Especially with the events leading up to the show. I'm starting to think though that Ed solo shows will never see the light of day. And that's ok.

    What an amazing setlist. The man is clearly grieving. Unfortunately, I've spent some time reading negative bullshit the last couple days about how Ed should have handled things in reguards to Chris. It makes me lose faith in people. How can anybody judge or criticize somebody on their grieving process? If Ed didn't attend the funeral, he had his reasons. Plain and simple. I was at the TOD show in Seattle, and thought it was a given Ed would show up. Sure I was disappointed he didn't, but you can bet he had his reasons. My point is, as much as we feel a connection to our heroes, what goes on in their private lives is none of our business. Enjoy the gifts they choose to share with us and leave it at that. We are all blessed to share the journey. Enjoy the shows Europe and keep safe.

    God bless Eddie. I know that show must have been so emotional for him. May it help in the healing. I'm sure being among fans who truly care about him really helps too.

    Amazing set list, I've seen a few images from the show and it's evident from the look on Ed's face that the man is grieving and if it wasn't evident by looking at him, it certainly became more obvious with the choice of songs for the night.
