    i liked him as a surfer
    i liked him as an addict
    i liked him as a prisoner on the run
    teaming up with Robert De Niro wearing a habit
    i liked him as a lawyer on coke
    he really seems to inhabit his ro-ooo-ooo-ooo-oles
    and even when he plays a killer
    on death ro-ooo-ooo-ooo-ow

    Oh yeah, and I scored a Zippo on night 2.

    Ed said something to the effect that after tonight, we are going back to 90 min shows, we are setting bad precedent...

    Congrats on the Zippo, although I hope that Ed doesn't go back to 90 min shows.

    2 days ago and my head is still spinning. liam and mike strumming with eddie on the drums, labcoats, brooms, bear stories, little girls, and the most wonderful sounding hall. even ed commented on that. we all sounded wonderful and with any luck, we will be able to get a cd/dvd of this night! i can only imagine what is in store for the next 3 nights. good luck!!!

    all along the watchtower. yellow ledbetter and the most incredible hymn ARC- i will never, ever forget that sound for the rest of my life. bravo and a million thanks for one of my most memorable evenings ever.

    I wonder if Santa Cruz or No More from this show will be on the Christmas single. I don't think I have heard anyone mention that.

    oh my god, i just caught myself hoping, a little, that Santa barbara was, you know .... just average! Heheheheh....

    Just give 'em a lil Van or Berk1, Ed!

    But honestly, I hope he really rips up for them, and why wouldn't he, another beautiful place for a show!

    I can't believe it's already been two days. Damn! This is bittersweet. Every time they tour, I go through these mixed up feelings. You are so high while you're traveling from one date to another. But once it's all over, you're like fish outta water.


    Totally agree. I flew back to NY and replayin the show in my head and still cant believe I was lucky enough to witness what we did. And now here I am, back in NY with horrible jetlag and have to return to work tomorrow and it was just two days ago I was on cloud 9, watching greatness from the 8th row. Def bittersweet. Not to mention, no zippo lighter! ugh lol

    Def hope ed shows the love he showed us to SB.

    sorry edwho, back to the plot at hand....

    my recollection is crystal clear of Ed finishing Arc and smiling, starting over on the right hand side of the stage and shaking hands, greating everyone, going all along the stage to the left as the curtain falls (did the curtain fall? SC came in from sides, seem to recall Zellerbachs descended from above, one night, other night you just watched him drop the sky bknd over the tent) ... and Arc goes on, Ed getting a smoke...

    but no the curtain didn't fall, and Ed shrugged at the scene change, got a smoke and was walking around the stage, moving toward one guitar or another, looking around...

    not wanting to leave the stage...
    and that's when he went into the Sean introduction, and wasn't all that just cool enough?

    This is my first time posting to the forum, but after that INCREDIBLE show on Tuesday night I had to join in. I've seen the band 3 times previously (should have been 4, I still haven't gotten over the cancelled San Diego show in '94), but I could tell going in that this night was going to be something special.

    The stripped down simplicity of the stage just enhanced the beauty of Ed's vocals and guitar work, even though he did go off the rails a bit during Around the Bend. I loved his comments about scaring off the young Republicans (there are Republicans in Berkeley?), right before 'I'm Open' something about "just below woman...God", the comment about Creationists looking less evolved, and the stories about his daugther (Reason I'll be) and the bear were so cute. I loved it! When the crowd sang the "NO MORE" chorus with such passion, you could see that Ed got a little choked up about it...that was really awesome! The energy of the audience was just incredible. Damn, what an intense show, I want more!!!

    The cameos by Sean and Mike were just the icing on the cake, how freaking cool was that?! I thought we were going to blow the roof off the theater when Mcready came out, and he absolutlely rocked Yellow Ledbetter and Watchtower. When they broke into Ledbetter, I thought "oh no, the show's over!" so I was stoked when they kept playing.

    We really were hoping to catch Ed and company after the show, but a long drive home and an early morning meeting on Weds. had us finally heading out around 1 am. Does anyone know what time they finally came outside? I'm gonna kick myself if it was right after we left.

    Cheers to Eddie, Mike, Sean, Liam, Eliza, and Jerry! <raising a glass of homebrew> I'll be basking in the afterglow of this performance for a while.

    during this performance, i swore to myself, as the night went on that i would take in the sounds, the sights, the feelings and that i would remember everything... BUT,as i seemed to melt into the performance( only way i can describe it) , i sort of have amnesia as to some of the individual events. i am so very happy and grateful that some you posting on here have incredible memories. how are you people able to remember ed's and sean's quotes???? do tell... and for those who say fanviews only, i say, these comments should count and pooh on you who doth protest! =)

    thanks to all who posted. somehow, i feel that people who attended this show are now all friends who share a special secret....

    again , i wish good luck to those still waiting for their so. cali. shows, but it would be awfully hard to top this night!
