    Holy shit, I just got back after the show Scored a signed poster and gave Ed a big hug and all I could say was 'Thankyou'. amazing show, and what a kind, gentle and lovely soul he is. After 20 years of going to shows, all i ever wanted was just to see him up close.

    I mean, for sure I'm glad you loved the show, and I know that they are all kind of awesome, I just don't get the waiting back afterwards to get just that last little piece of the performer is all. I say let the man rest - he gave everything you could have asked for and more. Let him skinny dip in the hotel room at 3am in peace if he feels the need!

    Sorry - I wasn't trying to be a dick or minimise your experience.

    Passion is passion,if a fan wants to wait until 3am so be it, it's all part of the journey,it's effect ED /PJ have on die hard fans.Well done and congratulations on meeting the great man.
    What I don't get is how people have forgotten how to be respectful and simply happy for another's experience .We all share this bands music,maybe some opinion 's are better left unsaid.Happy for you,DEVOTED ,that's cool !

    Amazing show, aside from the tools that needed to make their presence known to Eddie.

    It was an amazing night. I was up in the rafters after having been in rows 3 & 5 the previous nights through ten club tickets.The sound was great up there too. I thought the first ten or so songs sounded absolutely unreal-some even better than the studio versions. He nailed them.

    So stoked that he mentioned those who have travelled from far including South Africa obviously in response to a song request I had posted a few days ago.

    Amazing, amazing shows and I feel truly blessed and fulfilled for having made the trip.

    Thanks again Ed!

    Yeah....but there's passion and then there's being a bit rapey, you know what I mean?

    And heaven forbid if anyone was to actually voice an opinion on the forum! For sure we should all just respect each other's stalker-tendencies and be quiet about it. I'm very happy the OP had a great night out, the show that I saw was amazing and excellent. I don't disrespect that at all. On the other hand I can't respect hanging about for hours after a show just to touch a performer or save a piece of their sweat in a jar. But for sure I'll shut up about it now.

    Jeebers, rapey? Are you fkin serious! We were at the VENUE, not his hotel. When someone has had a great impact on my life, I'd like to say thank you. One of the best nights of my life and you are painting me our to be some kind of stalker? I've been listening to these guys for 20 years and never met him.
    If he didn't want to see any fans , there are 5 or 6 other exits they could have left through. Just wanted to meet the guy, not gonna follow him around town!

    I was in the crowd of people waiting for Ed outside the venue last night but couldn't hang around .. there was nothing stalkerish about anyone there.. just a bunch of fans hoping for a meet and greet, that's all. It was Eddie's last show so a few wanted to thank him and say goodbye.

    Last night was a great night.. I was very lucky to get fourth row seats last week through the venue and what a treat that was. I would have preferred less Ukulele songs and more guitar and PJ .. oh well. Towards the end of the night he was asking for requests and I was too scared to say anything, dammit.

    Drive All Night with Ed singing and playing the organ, Glen on the guitar and Jake Clemons on saxophone was just beautiful.

    Really happy for you - after 26 shows it's awesome you got to meet the man that represents why you went to all those shows!

    I get why some people may not get the importance of meeting the band or Ed. For them maybe the music/shows are enough.

    For others It's about being in the close presence of someone that represents something that has had such a huge impact on your life. It's about having a brief moment of connecting one-on-one with that person, in real time. It's about getting the chance to thank them. It's about trying to show them that we're willing to wait three hours (and much more) just for this opportunity.

    And for as long as Ed comes out and thanks us for waiting to meet him, I'll be there.

    Last night was incredible!

    Before the show started I was waiting on the ground floor of QPAC and I saw Tom Morello just walk in and go to the restroom. Only a couple of people seemed to notice him and when he was walking back these other people asked for a photo and he asked them to step outside for the photo, then he was off.

    When I was waiting for the doors to open, then I saw Mark Richards too (and walked by him at the airport this morning too). He went up to one of the young guys at the door and was told they wouldn't be opening the doors for another 5 minutes. So even Eddie's mate wasn't let in! During the concert I saw Tom Morello go and sit next to Mark, they were in 7th row I think. I thought they would be in the front row for sure.

    Drive All Night and RITFW were the highlights for me, felt very lucky to have been there :).

    I was in row I and had a great view. There were a few song requesters #-o in the rows around me, yelling stuff out at Ed. The guy who requested "Just Breathe" was in the row behind me...when he kept on calling out he got a warning from Eddie's guard, who told him one more time and he'd be out. Ed honoured the request though. The guy who called out a song request for his brother was a few rows ahead of me and the look Eddie gave him was pretty priceless. There was a couple in front of me who were filming a lot of the songs on their iphones...they didn't get caught by security, but it was a bit annoying, because it was for quite a few songs.


    I also waited for hours after the gig to meet Eddie (was hoping to get one of my ukuleles signed), but I felt a bit silly for having waited that long and went back to the hotel because I had a flight to catch today. From what I read though, apparently Ed was out a short time later.
