Feeling a bit mellow this morning...thanks Ed...

I was listening to the Ed solo boot from Berkeley Night 1 this morning and got up to "Arc."

It's hard to describe what I felt, but the song moved me near to tears. The audio recording doesn't come anywhere close to being there live, but the pictures that floated in my mind of seeing Ed perform the song in Los Angeles were enough to re-capture that moment for a fleeting few seconds.

It makes me kind of sad, though, to know that that the memory isn't as vivid now as it was yesterday, and won't be as vivid tomorrow as it is today. Eventually that picture in my head will fade out, and the memory, though still present, won't be as vivid as it is now.

Don't know if I'm explaining myself as clearly as I would like...there's just a feeling of sadness that goes along with the feeling of ecstasy I get when thinking about it.

Especially with "Arc," seeing as how I may never see that song performed again. Hell, I don't know if I'll ever see Ed solo again, period.

Damn it, I might have to hit up an East Coast show if they do, indeed, happen.

I totally understand what you mean. I had the same feeling after the Copenhagen show. After the other shows too, but it was more intense after Copenhagen.
