    I got the impression that all proceeds will to to the WM3.

    Five special prime-seat ticket packages per show will be auctioned off
    online along with an autographed limited-edition tour poster. An additional
    auction package for the Santa Barbara concert * consisting of two pair of
    premier seats and two hotel rooms will also be auctioned off. These auctions
    will begin on Friday, February 22nd at 10am PST in conjunction with the
    public on sale. (More details regarding the auctions to be announced next
    week). Proceeds from auction packages will support legal defense efforts for
    the West Memphis Three via the Damien Echols Legal Defense Fund.     Damien
    Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jesse Miskelley (the WM3) have been in prison for
    12 years for a crime they didn¹t commit. After years of waiting for the
    chance to demonstrate their innocence, the West Memphis Three will finally
    have hearings this Spring to introduce new DNA evidence proving they could
    not have committed the crimes for which they were convicted. More info at:

    doesn't say anything about proceeds from tickets....

    It wouldn't surprise me if Ed was contrubuting everything he "makes" from these shows and just didn't tell anyone. Obviously the case will get mentioned during the shows. You have to respect that mans passion for causes he believes in.
