    Just got home after another amazing show. Ed was on fire again tonight - 32 songs, 2 hours and 40 minutes! A fantastic first gig for my unborn son (mrs goldrush is 7 months along), he spent a fair bit of the night kicking along to the music like a drummer to be!

    So many highlights - the Betterman/Good Woman/4th of July 'trilogy', LONG NIGHTS with Glen!!!, Bugs, Blackbird... even the intro to Rearviewmirror...

    The funniest story of the night was Ed's suggestion for a YouTube ukulele talent search... called Uke Hunt! Probably the first time that word has been said (repeatedly!) at the Opera House :)

    Even the merch line was entertaining. It was so long that people queuing to get into Carmen (the opera) on another stage got caught up in it. It was hard to tell who looked the most out of place - the Ed fans at the opera or the expensively dressed opera buffs in an EV merch line.

    North country to open was amazing. Never thought I'd see Ed play it live. Great show, usual dickheads and pissed people calling out for daughter and Ledbetter, but you get that. Ed got a bit carried away with a few stories that may have lost the crowd here and there. Fantastic collection of covers tonight (despite reckless no being one of them!)

    And Glen Hansard. Yes. That is all.
    Yeh I've seen Pearl Jam, too. But I can't remember the dates.

    Great show, loved the setlist and the view from my seat in Circle row C was better than I thought it would be.

    I may sound like a whiner, but I've had some really negative experiences with the Sydney audience members sitting near me. Last night the lady next to me vomited all over herself and continued to sit there for quite a few more songs before moving. I had to try and enjoy listening to Blackbird with the overwhelming stench of vomit before I could move out of my seat without disturbing those around me during Blackbird. I stood in the aisle for quite a few songs until there was a pause where I could ask somebody who had a couple of empty seats near them if the seats were taken.

    Right behind me there was also a very aggressive woman threatening to fight another woman seated behind her. They did not stop arguing for ages, at least 4-5 songs. WTF is wrong with some people?! They were at an amazing venue, seeing an amazing performance!

    Another great show. It was certainly a different crowd environment than the State Theatre, found the ones who turned up to the opera house to be less educated, more there for the social aspect than the performance itself. Very happy to see Dead Man and Ukulele Anthem. Bugs is always a riot. People around us (row D in the circle) need to learn to respect the other concert goers. Think before you want to stand up and sway drunkenly, or have your phone on reading email or whatever with the screen as bright as the sun glowing in everyone elses face, but such is life.

    The Uke Hunt story was certainly interesting, when if you have dabbled in playing the Uke, ukulelehunt.com is your first stop for tabs etc.

    Been a great 3 nights in Sydney, look forward to the last show I'll see in Melbourne on Sunday.

    Alcohol.

    And thanks to social media, everyone is a comedian and a smart arse and it's catching on in real life.

    I Believe in Miracles was written by Dee Dee Ramone and Daniel Rey, Kat just listed both of their surnames. It sounded great last night, hope you get to hear it someday.

    Something strange that I noticed last night was that there were a lot of empty seats. It's a real shame given how many people have been posting here crying out for a ticket. There must have been at least 60 seats that we could see from our vantage point (box D on the 'Stone' side of the stage with a full view of the crowd). Maybe all of those touts that took all the tickets couldn't sell them at their inflated prices...

    Eddie absolutely killed it at the Opera House last night (as did Glen). 32 song set lasting 2hr40!

    Very covers heavy compared to previous nights with heaps of entertaining banter as usual. A lot of love in the room, you felt like everyone in attendance appreciated how lucky they were to be there. Apologies on behalf of Sydney for the distasteful attendees mentioned above - so glad I was in a well-behaved section and oblivious to them.


    Highlights included:

    Sleepless Nights w/ Glen unmic'd (audience uncharacteristically dead silent for the whole song)
    Golden State w/ EJ Barnes - including false start where he accidentally went into Setting Forth after the intro :))
    Blackbird (thanks priesty for the nicely timed request ;) )
    Long Nights (was stoked to hear this one, so atmospheric in that room)
    Good Woman
    Bugs on pump organ
    Ed calling out to his dog Hank 'Bruce style'
    Ukulele Anthem (hilarious)


    It looked like Eddie was drinking non-alcoholic beverages last night - is there a chance he's doing febfast?

    Holy sh*tballs that was you??end of row 4 or 5? Was standing right next to you (in the doorway) and didn't even recognise you....heard it all though...nice work.

    Got there a bit late after work . Missed Glen which was a shame.

    3rd row centre - thanks 10c. Closest Ill ever get at a PJ/Ed concert.

    Golden State knocked me about - couldn't ask for more than that. Society, Blackbird......great night.

    Maybe Im getting old (most likely less grumpy!!) but I do all I can to avoid Sydney concerts but I must say Sydney BDO and last night restored some faith.

    Some dude yapped away at us outside about how big a fan he was and knew everything about ed/band etc (didnt stop) and camped out for 24 hours and got 5th row.. Asked where we were sitting and I had to say row 25 or something....couldn't do itto the poor bloke. Thanks 10c.

    Just as a said note (and trivial point)....the lady that came out at the beginning and said no phones/cameras etc....was that Kat? aka Keyser Soze

    I'll ride the wave where it takes me.

    OMG Emma, what an awful experience, we were in 12th row and had a pretty good experience, apart from this couple that were ridiculously tall, I mean giants sitting in front of us, I had to sit on the floor to actually see the show for a while and then my poor partner had a man in front of him moving forwards, backwards and to the side so he could see, he had no respect for us or the people behind us, we even had the guy behind us tap my partner and point to the man and say "he can't be serious" seriously people have respect, my partner eventually said something politely and then the guy left for the second half of the show, which my partner did feel bad about but seriously everyone paid a decent amount of money to see the performance, so show some damn respect and the girl that puked, that's just disgraceful and then to sit there, I really feel for you Emma, but at least Glen and Eddie rocked the stage!! worth every second :)

    Another fantastic night, thank you Ed.

    Loved so many songs, but highlights were Society , I love this song and was sad to see it was scrapped off the 1st Sydney night(so I was so excited-Emma), Throw Your Arms around me (another favourite song of mine (I thought the BDO version was awesome, but last night the sounding and Eds voice was even better in the Opera House), Driftin, Tonight You Belong To Me with Eliza-Jane & Rockin in the Free World, where Ed got nearly everyone up, and of course Hard Sun where Glen, Eliza-Jane & Cecilia joined ED & everyone was standing up for that song. Ed was funny with the Uke Hunt story, and Amanda's Uke song is rather amusing.

    I saw the cutest girl, maybe aged 8-10 she had an Adventure time beanie on, sitting in her Dads shoulders and she was rocking out so hard, just adorable, a credit to her family, because they were into the show just as much as she was. I wanted to take a photo of her, because she looked like she was enjoying the show so much, but the no camera policy made me leave my phone in my bag.

    I was oblivious to the other side drunken people, we were in box V, great seats and no trouble makers around.

    Glen was fantastic too, I have to buy his album. Loved Glen on the piano, with his Irish song & him sharing about his quick Bruce Springsteen concert visit, and "Ask yourself what would Bruce do?" comment. This Gift was just beautiful, I love that song and I was lucky enough to hear it twice in Sydney. If you are going to see Ed in Melbourne or Brisbane make sure you see Glen, excellent singer & entertainer.

    I am so sad that my 3 weeks of Pearl Jam & Ed are over........ :(( I will be stocking up on bootlegs now they are back in the shop and just waiting until I get to see PJ or Ed again. The Sydney BDO was just amazing, PJ were on fire, and Ed has backed it up in the 2 Sydney shows that I went to. Every performance in Australia has had incredible setlists and great variety. Thank you again PJ & ED.

    Sounds like you guys were treated to a spectacular night. I would love to see Bugs live, must be a real hoot! The pump organ was soundchecked at the first Perth show but not the second, and he didn't use it at either (neither did Glen). Does he do any other songs on it, or just Bugs?

    I'm glad you got Ukelele anthem too. Amanda Palmer is a hoot so was stoked when Ed played it here, a great comedic addition to the set list. I love that Ed takes some requests from the audience, if only it didn't encourage the dickheads in the crowd to yell out all the "hits". I'm glad he's honouring some of the 10c'ers requests though.

    Get ready Melbourne, you are in for a real treat ;)
    no matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead... PJ - Adelaide 98, 09; Perth 03, 06, 09, 14; EV - Perth 11, 14 (2 shows), Brisbane 14 (2 shows)
