    Is the show local to you, or are you traveling??

    I am flying from Tampa to Chicago, so for the $275 plane ticket, I may as well see two shows for my $$$, in my opinion....

    Plus, it is EV solo...how often are you going to get a chance to see that???

    I couldn't understand why so many people wanted to go to more than one show. Then I went to LA2 and it was amazing! Now I regret not having gone to LA1 or any of the others. :(

    i suppose it's relative to each concert-goer BUT having gone to both Vancouver concerts back in April i can say the "ideal" experience would be to see back-to-back shows in the same city, if possible,...

    I saw three and loved each one. Sure there were similarities but each was unique. I guess it depends on how you look at things. Just go with your gut and enjoy. :) Oh, the don't miss Liam tips are good! :D

    I think as long as you accept that you would be completely happy to see all the same songs more than once, it's OK to attend more than one EV show.

    I lucked out and ended up with 4 local shows because I'm moving to Chicago from Boston in between both shows. I'm psyched to attend all 4:)

    I attended 3 in the SF bay area in April and have no regrets what-so-ever.
    Just me

    The set lists were all quite similar for all 4 shows i went to. That was sort of a bummer. But really...Ed is such a great story teller that when he was chatting and talking about the songs or whatever...made it worth it going to all four. Plus...got to meet Ed and get an autograph at the last of 4 so that was pretty great.

    I would go to multiple again. Wish I was going to any. I am dying to see if he changes it up from what he did out here. Will he start every show with Walking the Cow again??? We'll see soon enough.

    Can someone point me in the direction of finding set lists from Ed's solo shows? Ta.
    One for each day, since I fell apart

    If you go to none, you will never know.

    If you go to one, you will wish you had gone to two.

    If you go to two, you'll probably be happy.

    on the west coast , setlists didnt vary much. however, every night is different. different crowds = different atmosphere and mood, acoustics of the different venues changed the sound , ed's banter changed every night. and santa cruz got their own sweet song. on the other hand, be grateful if you get tix for one show! they will be gone quick! good luck!
