But I have never seen him solo and would really like to, as well.
That being said, I am very glad he didn't do any ITW on this tour. My gf was shocked when I said that no, he didn't. It is a PJ show even though Ed is the one singing and talking and whatnot.
Yeah my wife has been trying to get me to do a little yoga-she is a yoga nut-but she balks at my very simple request-nudity
Ive heard EVs solos stuff, the covers, ITW and Id love to hear it live. Regardless of what PJ does.

Depending on her body type, some things could get in the way of getting into certain poses....it is best to wear minimal clothing.
Unless you are getting all kama sutra with her....but that is not for here.
Anyway..here's to eddie solo!
Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
you simply cannot compare. You cannot walk into an EV solo show and expect to get PJ, and visa versa.
Part of the amazing experience of the solo shows was (and will hopefully continue to be) is the asthetic and intimacy that you seem to 'share' with Eddie. He interacts with the crowd, his stage setup screams of his personal style (with tributes to the band surrounding him), and puts on a substantial set. You also get to realize how much better he's become on guitar and how much he really 'feels' the lyrics on a lot of the songs he plays. After seeing his shows, I could go back and say that it felt like one of your friends breaking out his guitar over a bonfire, telling stories and playing/singing epic songs.
PJ shows... Completely different. The music, the crowds, the vibe. It just doesn't compare. PJ is always high energy. BUT, after seeing EV solo, I can see how the improvements he's made to his music and how he has grown his songs outside of PJ, it has ultimately made the band seem more musically tight on this tour.
after seing the full band,,who the hell wants to see eddie alone ??
give me my band
j i know you're not keen on ed's solo stuff but don't pass up on going to one of his shows...yea it's mellow and you have to sit for most of the show but there isn't a lack of intensity....ed puts the same amount of focus and energy into the solo shows as he does with the band

This is a great post...you hit the nail on the head when you said "share". Seeing an Ed solo show is like hanging out in his basement, chatting and listening to some great tunes. The intimacy of those shows was just incredible. Obviously its no the high energy experience that PJ provides, its completely different, but equally compelling.
That said, i hope all you East coasters decide to stay home to give me better odds at catching another one of these shows :-)

I guess it would be cool to see Ed solo, but I'd much prefer the band. It's cool to see Ed do solo songs during a PJ concert, but I don't know how thrilled I'd be seeing that for a whole 2 hrs. or more. It's just my personal preference. I'm not a big folk music kinda guy. Gimme some good old PJ grunge and I'm satisfied.
I pledge to you a government that will not only work well, but wisely, its ability to act tempered by prudence, and its willingness to do good, balanced by the knowledge that government is never more dangerous than when our desire to have it help us blinds us to its great power to harm us.

Uh, mark me down as a person who wants to see Eddie solo. And for that matter I'd see any member of the band solo. Hell, I'd listen Stone read the ingredients from the back of a cereal box.
I heard some of Eddie's April Fools tour and I can't freaking wait to see him.
Not as excited as my girlfriend will be but that's a whole 'nother ball of wax that I don't want to get into.
um, i just need a PJ fix... and i will take anything i can get at this point! that being said, the into the wild stuff is fucking genius, and to see ed play it would be brilliant ( i imagine..... *sigh*)
in conclusion, BRING THE BOYS TO TORONTO!

i didnt say i wouldnt ..sure i would much rather pj but a solo show will be alright because i can go get drinks and piss w/ out worrying about missing everything
im sure its awesome,,but i just want the whole band
but like i said the april 15th boot,, i did skip thru the songs
LA Wiltern #2 was amazing with Jack Irons and Ben Harper. It was a great show. However, I'd rather they record in the studio. You (East Coast) had enough attention lately. Lets focus on the album.
Up here so high I start to shake, Up here so high the sky I scrape, I've no fear but for falling down, So look out below I am falling now, Falling down,...not staying down, Could’ve held me up, rather tear me down, Drown in the river
The main, larger room (that PJ played in 2005) was mostly GA with seating in the back. I guess they could put chairs in there for Ed, but it's not a great venue for him -- it's an extremely wide stage.
