    Gratitude. Lots of it. Thank you get_right for hooking me up-unforgettable!!! Amazing on many levels for me... Getting the ticket hook up, His voice, crowd vibe, song choices (esp. Immortality) & since I do not live on either coast or in Chicago seeing him had to be tied in with a trip to see fam. Again, gratitude. I am feeling it big time. Thanks for hitting Hartford, Ed!! It. Was. Amazing.
    Just saw this.
    It was my pleasure and meeting a new PJ peep is just another part of what makes these shows special.
    Hope to see ya around.

    The immortality was great. Funny thing, I came away from the show with speed of sound in my head. That performance was stellar.

    Still mad they put me in the mezz :evil: :evil:

    As I posted earlier in my sleepy state of post-concert bliss....this night was fantastic! Yes, there were a few people who had slightly too much to drink. The two guys in front of me were exceedingly drunk...one was asleep and the other was the 'stand up, sway a lot, threaten to fall, and then shout a lot' type...but to be honest, i just got on with it as I was a concert that had me out of my seat singing at the top of my lungs with pure adrenaline rush many times!
    I was worried it would be an all sit down affair...I can't when music really gets me going...Lukin stood no chance of me sitting, nor did Unthought Known or Porch.

    Some songs needed a seat...Better Man especially...boy was that emotional. Eddie basically made the announcement with his emotion, slight tremble in the voice and the change of the words at the end. This version of the song will forever be in honor of the big man! "I love him....I loved him...I don't want him to have left this way...I want him to come back again...."

    He did come out at about 8:35 in Providence last Wednesday tho...So I would try to be in the building by at least 8:30...I think he started later in Hartford cuz it was a Saturday.



    Late for me to get to the fanview thread. Not much else I can say that hasnt been said already. Trouble, Immortality and Long Nights were highlights for me. Fucking Long Nights!!! Still cant believe it!!!

    I just wanted to add tho, that when Ed's roadie came out to give him the news, it reminded me of G.W.Bush on 9/11, sitting in his chair, reading the book to the kids, one of his aids comes out and gives him the news, and he carries on without much change in pace. In Providence, Ed's roadies came out randomly from time to time, and a few times spoke to him during the show (most likely giving him updates on the Bruins game that night)...so it wasnt too out of the ordinary to see one of Ed's roadies come out to tell him something...but you could tell, this was a different kind of announcement that was being given to Ed. I looked over to my boyfriend and said...."Clarence musta died". Then Ed carried on, without really saying anything. Just made me think of that moment on 9/11.

    Faberge egg speech was classic (Katyz...love the new avatar :lol: ) and was ever so appropriate, considering there was a Legalize Marijuana rally at The Bushnell Park, right across the street from the venue, during the afternoon, before the show. I have a feeling Mr. Vedder probably could have been spotted there if anyone had made it there early enough :lol::mrgreen:

    No problem, but try to be there earlier than that so you don't miss anything, especially Glen.

    If Glen plays Astral Weeks in St. Louis, I'm going to need smelling salts. That is my favorite album of all time. My dream would be for Ed to sing anything off that album, but if I could hear it live at an Ed show by someone else, I would be thrilled.


    anyone else notice Glen dropping 'I miss you already' from Smile in during Astral Weeks??

    just heard about that now :)

    I couldn't make the Boston show so "settled" for a 2-hour trip to catch Eddie in Hartford and boy am I happy I did! It was an amazing show, Ed sounded perfect, told great stories, beautiful theater, etc. It was a wonderful part 2 of my day following the Bruins victory parade earlier that day in Boston! I got pre-sale venue tickets and was in the 13th row next to Fenway Faithful and Youngster (great talking to you!). The highlight for me was "I am Mine" one of my all-time favorite PJ songs; it was perfect for this type of show. Of course the Clarence Clemmons tribute was memorable and touching as well as others have already noted. I too was dismayed by the number of people leaving/returning in the middle of songs. For an intimate performance like this, I cannot understand why people couldn't time their drink/bathroom runs for song breaks. It's disrespectful to the performer and to the audience. Oh, and Glen Hansard was awesome!

    What else can I say that hasn't already been said. It was an amazing night! Thank you 10C for the awesome seats (orch E row T) For my first Ed solo show it was everything I could have asked for. Much nicer being able to see him a stones throw away instead a homerun's length away (lawn at the meadows, gahh!)

    The only sour note for me that nice was that I missed Glen's set waiting in the merch line for 40 minutes to get a poster!!! :( Does anyone know if they even sold out of posters before the end of the show?

    ...probably because it was hideous. I bought one anyway because i get them for every show I attend, but it is a really unappealing design.

    Also, what's up with all of the posters smelling so chemically fresh this tour? I don't remember that from prior shows but both posters (hartford and NY1) that I got so far have stunk to high hell.

    I love the Hartford poster!!! Bat mobile and I love how the license plate says EdVed as opposed to EdVddr as on the shirts. It did smell horrible tho! My Providence poster didnt smell like that at all. Super fresh ink!!!

    Really? the color scheme is ugly, the writing is boring, etc. It won't end up in a frame and on a wall of mine for a looooong time. I'm partial to Klausen's Batman themed poster in '08 by a LOT.

    Ink on the License plate shirts smelled really bad too. It goes away after washing once though and they wash nice.
