i stumbled upon this thread after so many months... I had so many good memories from this show and from chicago... i only had the chance to see eddie two times one in los angeles 1 and in this night, i wish i could live again the experience of a tour like this. Eddie was like two persons the PJ eddie and the solo eddie, similar but totally different, more intimate and joyful.

Thanks Eddie!

I was one of the lucky fans who received an upgrade to the front row of the show. My wife and I originally had seats on the last row of the second level, behind a metal post holding up the next level. The ticket guy walks up to us and all he says is "Give me your tickets, your going down front." My wife, not believeing the gentlemen, told him to walk us down front so we could ensure that he wasn't scamming us. After some back and forth he apologized for bothering us and left. I sat dejected, wondering if I had passed on the coolest thing that might ever happen to me. I decided to get out of my seat and follow the ticket guy up stairs. I saw him give two tickets to a younger couple and they took off excitedly downstairs. So, I walk up to him, apologize for not believing him and asked him if I could please take advantage of the offer. He said he was sorry for bothering me, but that he could no longer help me out. I was pretty down at this point, so I thanked him for the opportunity and went back to my seats. I told my wife the offer was real and we just sat there pretty upset on what we had passed up. After a little time we decided to just drop it and enjoy the show. Not 2 minutes after we made this decision, I turn around to go to the bathroom and ticket guy is standing behind me. He looks me in the eye and says "Give me your tickets, I've been saving these 2 for you." This time we quickly handed ours over to him and thanked him a million times before heading to the front row, dead center. There was a piece of tape down the middle of the stage and our seats were right in the middle of the tape. But the coolest thing all night had yet to happen. After Eddie's first set, he starts walking right toward us. We thought he was going to stop and take a bow before heading off stage. But he keeps walking. Keeps walking right towards ME. Next thing I know I raise my arm and he hands me his pick from that set. COOLEST THING EVER. Thanks to Eddie for an awesome show and for the pick that now resides in my safe deposit box along with a million memories that I wish I could fit in there too.

Does anyone have any pictures or video (I know there wre supposed to be no cameras) of Eddie handing the pick to a short guy in a black shirt and a plaid type baseball hat. That would be me and I would love to have a visual of this to show my friends and family. Plus, I would just love to relive this moment because when it happened it really didn't feel real. Thanks Ed and everyone there for the night of me and my wife's lives.

I was sitting right below Chelios, John, and Sean. I talked to John and gave him shit about being a Cubs fan. He gave me an excuse a Cubs fan can't even stand. "I'm a fan of both teams." It was then that I realized he has been out of Chicago for too long. I got a great pic of Chris holding the cup down. I'll try to post it soon. The show was excellent as expected. An experience I would never wanted to miss. I can't wait for the bands next tour. The fans around me were from the city and all over the country. Everyone around me was great and really appreciated the opportunity to be at the show. I had absolutely no complaints with the people around me, all fanclub members, and all real cool. It makes it cool to be a member. See you all next tour.

My wife and I were lucky to also spot Eddie arriving in the back entrance to the theater. He was parked about 50 yards away, and came back to the gate to say hello to about 30 fans that were waiting by. It was awesome to see him make a special effort to say hello.

The show itself was amazing. I was really impressed with how Eddie was able to pick a wide variety of songs and how personable it seemed. It felt like he was playing in your living room, and just playing what he felt like. I wish all shows could be as intimate. Eddie has to be one of the fastest strummers currently playing.

On the way out, we able to see the Stanley cup roll out of the same alley that Eddie arrived in, and was also able to Sean Penn roll out. I was able to pat him on the back and said "thanks".

It was one of the best concerts I have ever been to. I think the whole evening had the feeling that we were all VIP's.

Good Work Eddie.

Did you see him on Michigan Ave or on Wabash on Night 2?
