    I wonder how people will be dressed?  I assume some will be dressed up a bit because of the classical music aspect.

    strange.  There are some tickets in the balcony, that were originally 100 bucks.  But now even those are 250, like the rest of the venue.  I guess they would rather have someone buy a 250 ticket in the lower bowl, than a 100 ticket in the upper bowl.

    Same. I did the VIP at the Hot Stove Cool Music a few years ago. Eddie performed for the VIP crowd but never left the stage. It was a great time, but didn't pull the trigger for VIP for this reason. 
    I'm trying to think of a really good signature.

    EV duet with Alfie on Punk Meets Godfather, duet with Pete on I'm One. Intermission now.

    It is intermission.  Meet and greet was all five of the headliners: Pete, Ed, Billy Idol, Alfie Boe and Rachel Fuller.  You literally got to walk up, take a professional picture and walk away.  Less than a minute.  We get the pictures tomorrow.  They were very strict about no phones, no shaking hands, get in and get out.  And no autographs.

    The Sound was not good especially in the first half.  i was on the left side.  That might have been one of the few criticisms of the night.

    Any set-lists floating around or was there no PJ /Eddie songs played?

    Those videos remind me of church growing up with four old guys singing on stage as a quartet.  It was cringeworthy at times.

    Just Quad, with an encore of The Real Me with Pete/Eddie/Alfie/Billy singing.

    There was definitely a sound issue during the first half of the show. At times you could hear loud static pops and the sound would skip. It was almost like listening to a dirty vinyl record. They cleared it up after intermission. Eddie's voice sounded a little strained but it was still great to see him add his take on vocals. I had $100 seats in the upper balcony and when I showed my tickets to the usher he reached into a magic red bag of tickets and immediately upgraded my seats to a much better location. It seemed like they were making a real effort to please those in attendance last night and fill up the seats that went unsold.

    Very cool that they upgraded your seats.

    I agree that EV's voice seemed a bit off last night.  There were moments were he sounded great but other times where he sounded really strained.  I was surprised how few songs he was a part of.  I know that the show was focused on Quadraphenia and not EV but I think his total singing time was about the equivalent of 3 songs.  
  • PJamminPJammin Posts: 606
    Yeah - that was a nice surprise to get my seats upgraded. I agree with you in that I would have liked to see Ed a little more. I think there were a couple times where he could have filled in on Billy's parts and had a little more presence as the "special guest". I love Ed's version of Love Reign.....and was kind of hoping he'd do that to close out the Quad portion of the show but I just don't think his voice could have done it last night. Clearly there were a good number of folks there to see Eddie perform. That was evident by the loud cheer he received during this first entrance to the stage. I went to the last Pete/Eddie show at that theater a couple years back and had the same feeling as I did last night. I really enjoyed the show but glad I didn't break the bank for it.
