    I saw the 1st two nights in Vancouver. Setlist wise, if I remember correctly, they were the two most similar for the same city. If you're going to travel to see one, you might as well see both.

    Both shows did have a different vibe though. Being as one had 10c tickets, and the other wasn't.

    I hit up LA1 and 2. I'm glad I went to both, but would not have regretted only going to 1.

    They were almost the same show. Enough that if money is an issue I would suggest just hitting one.

    Went to 3 on the WC and plan on hitting two in Chicago if I am lucky tomorrow. The set lists don't very too much but you just can't beat the intimacy and the sound you get. I spent much of my time with my eyes closed just trying to absorb every sound nuance. They were all very different experiences and I would do it again in a heart beat. The solo shows are very different world. Go for it!

    Funny you said that. I had my eyes closed for at least half of the 2nd show I saw. Really wanted to soak in the sound. Eddie is Amazing solo.

    For me, four shows were each a totally different experience regardless of the setlist. San Diego 1 and 2 are a good example. Excellent both nights, but boy is he crabby when he doesn't get enough sleep : ) Night one had some edgy energy behind it and hilarious stories. Night two was an end of the tour, mom's in the audience, lemme break out some Bad Radio, free-for-all. He also did a way kicked up version of Far Behind I loved.

    Went to 4 on the west coast and would do it again in a heartbeat! Especially with Liam opening! I actually enjoyed the EV solo shows better than the Camden 2 PJ show this year! They were amazing and I'll be hitting the east coast shows (at least NYC) if I can secure tickets.

    I went to 6 EV west coast shows.

    Planning on 5 or 6 more.

    I only went to 3 PJ shows. This due to when I had money more than anything.

    i went to 3 shows in 3 different cities and that was great....different vibe in each town

    and remember ed is pretty chatty at these shows....each night was different shtick.....he climbed down from a rope in santa barbara....someone presented ed with his golden globe at la1.......he was just hilarious at sd1....

    so if you can swing it, try different cities :D

    i saw him both nights in LA and night 2 in SD, and every night was pretty unique. the setlists themselves were fairly similar, but each night had its standout moments.

    not to mention getting to sit right next ti eddie's mom in SD was awesome =D

    I went to Van1 and both SD. They were all unique imo. I'm really glad that I went to all three. :) I've heard/read differing opinions about his shows, and it seems to me it comes down to set lists vs Ed's banter. If you're just there for the songs, one might be fine, but if you like to listen to Ed you'd like them all. :)
