    Totally agree.

    I mean Ed opening for Pearl Jam at the Vic was by far the best opening act I've ever seen for PJ. ;)

    Now I just can't wait to see a full show by EV.

    There is nothing like a Pearl Jam show. I think we can all agree to that BUT these Eddie shows have been really special. There is no choosing to be done. One thing is with Pearl Jam, they can change up the songs more but with just Eddie you get the ITW songs.....there's more talking and carring on with the audience. It's just very intimate. So, I will take both and remember them forever.

    Yesterday they released tickets at the Berkeley show on TM and at the venue. Just keep checking TM and get to the venue early. I think this has been happening every night.

    who is bitter?
    why am i bitter ?

    everyone enjoy a great show wheter solo or full band

    thanks for the encouragement :)

    I'm good at hooking up people with tickets, hopefully the concert gods will return me some karma I spread at Wembley last year!
    Another wishful thanker for you with the EV tix. That's dedication right there, traveling overseas without ti :eek:

    while im sure the solo shows are awesome

    its not even close to a pearl jam show



    The uniqueness of it really made it for me ....a chance to sit that close we had row 5 five seats and to see him in a theater setting was very special. Fuck we were so close I could actually understand what he was saying! :)

    I know... but as I'm on the plane for 11 hours on the day and not arriving to the venue before 4pm probably.... so fingers crossed there's still some knocking around...or people I know there grab one for me :p

    oh well, I knew how bloody crazy it was to go blind.. made my bed, got to lie in it ;)

    I';m sure it'll make the shows all the more enjoyable! :p

    If I had the choice, I would go to the EV solo shows.

    I have seen a ton of PJ shows, but never an EV solo show, so the choice is easy for me.

    Agreed. Don't get me wrong, im glad we are getting both (and very grateful that i'm going to both!), but if i could have only had the choice to go to one show this summer, i would recommed seeing just Ed...such an amazing, intimate, possibly once in a lifetime experience.
    Shows: Montreal 98, Barrie 98, Montreal 00, Montreal 03, Montreal 05, Ottawa 05, Toronto 06, Vancouver Night 1 08 (EV), Vancouver Night 2 08 (EV), MSG1 08, MSG2 08, Montreal Night 2 08 (EV), Toronto Night 1 08 (EV), Toronto 09, Hartford 11 (EV), Ottawa 11, Ottawa 16, Ottawa 22.


  • Its a no brainer Ed solo is way better than him playin with a medicore band.


























    Yeah right

    Pj shows are pure sanctuary
    Some people have religion I have Pearl Jam.


    no more shows

    what do you do for a living (not how much salary)? you go to full tours at a time and now traveling to some solo shows on the west coast on a limb. damn girl, living the life!
