When Ed starts "Hard Sun", I'm gonna lose it... I'm gonna apologize now to the people sitting around me at the Vancouver shows..That song has had such special meaning to me for so many years...My crying will probably be louder than his singing...
I got tears in my eyes when I drove down LakeShoreDrive in the summer and just heard the band; not even saw them.
I know it sounds lame but something about the music and the words and the volume of the music being so loud and powerful get both my physical self and my emotional self going.
And when I saw them live the times I did, yeah, the music did the same with me as well.
But of course, the most crying would be when the show is over........right????
Baby, You Wouldn't Last a Minute on The Creek......
Together we will float like angels.........
In the moment that you left the room, the album started skipping, goodbye to beauty shared with the ones that you love.........
the tag ed did at the end of black for the pittsburgh mellon arena 06 i balled cause my fiance left me and then he also cried during it making it very emotional

at the seattle night 2 show in 2000, i started crying as soon as the first note of release was played...and i cried until well after the show was over. the next day, i didnt even know what was played.
i saw 10 shows that tour and it was all so emotional...and i guess i just wasn't ready for it to be over.
Even though I've been lucky enough to see Release open a show three times, the SF-3 '06 show gets me every time when Ed lets the crowd sing the "I'll ride the wave where it takes me" part. I don't think it's ever made me cry, but I get some gnarly chills every time I hear it. Very cool reading about other peoples experiences.
Brisbane 1, November 06, I cried. Had to sit down in my weenie little chair from right up the back, coz I was so darn emotional that I was FINALLY there...seeing the boys for the first time! Even though I had crappola seats, it was just as epic. The guy next to me switched seats with his girlfriend so he didnt have to sit next to me, I kept bumping into him dancing and screaming. Then when I saw them in Perth a few weeks after that, I shed some tears during Black. Ed kept looking up at the moon, then hanging his head. That was emotional. God, I love them.

I tear up when I hear Given To Fly every concert. In every sense of the word it saved my life, literally! If it weren't for that song @ the right moment in my life I would not be here today. The musical bars of the song are tatooed starting @ the tip of my toes & wraps around my body all the way up to my fingertips. Can post pics if anyone is interested.

Ok, i'm going to actually answer the question that was originally posed, not like everyone else in this thread
i saw Ed with tears in his eyes at the end of Black in Milano 2006, he was pretty overwhelmed by the crowd singing and clapping at the end of the song.
Ed also cried at the end of Baba O'Riley in Dusseldorf 2007. It was an amazing crowd that went nuts all night and after Baba he just stood there looking around at everyone in shock as if he was blown away by us all.
Everyone in the band was pretty emotional when Ed gave that moving speech before Betterman in Copenhagen last year. I imagine that was a pretty tough gig for them.
During Rockin' in the Free World in Nijmegen last year, Ed was dancing and then he just said "you guys must be exhausted!" because everyone was still jumping up and down and going nuts because we didn't want the night to end!
I don't know why, but as soon as the band left the stage in Nijmegen, i just started crying. Everyone was pouring out of the park and i was stood by the rail crying. It was the weirdest feeling, i couldn't control it at all.
"This town deserves a better class of criminal... and I'm gonna give it to them."
I cried at the Gorge and at MGM during "Inside Job" that one always gets me.
I also get caught crying at "Come Back" quite often.
They seem to get me lyrically and musically alot, there is just so much emotion in the music and the way that they convey it through their performances.
Hard to Imagine, Grand Rapids 06. I shed a tear in my double Captain and Coke.
mmmmm, it does go well with the chicken.....delicious again peter

The first few times I heard "Last Kiss" . Maybe I should just get over it as its been 20+ years, but the pain of losing my fiance to a drunk driver in 1983 coupled with a very poignant ,beautiful song about loss , on a highway, had me in tears. I guess you could say I reject the idea that you get used the pain. My Last Kiss was on the lips of a beautiful young woman on life support on the day her family consented to removing her from that support. That adds to the sadnes. Now I politely sit down when I hear it in concert and never clap. The song leaves me cold.
The other song is that fills me with emotion is "Down". I am a recovering alcoholic. I was so far down that I once stood on the wrong side of the bridge rail of the Platt Bridge, Philly, before it got lights . I guess my fear of heights overcame a fear of dying. Sorry if this invokes humor as it wasn't meant to. The idea of throwing the booze or pills or any substance or deons, thanks to Employee Assistance at work, away leaves me with the same kind of deep emotion, ,including tears, as described in this thread . For me,tears of relief and revelry.
Thank you very much for this thread. It's therapy. My doc says it's better to speak of ones emotions.

We are Men. Men dont fuckin talk emotions. Come on guys, wtf? Keep that talk between you and your mother. jeez.
Pittsburg Black is fuckn emotional. forgot the year. its called the" OMG Eddie is really crying on this -Black" this transcends music, this is emotion pure, like the other night, when I got my daily Big Brother dosis, that one girl was crying like i have never seen before. Man, that was so great to watch. Made me feel like a human.

this version of daughter always gives me the chills and makes me very emotional.
I've actually gotten tears in my eyes while driving and listening to it. It hits me hard every time i hear it.
