back in the hotel room after the show ... couple of thoughts
1) Lots of unforeseen songs tonight. God's Dice. Present Tense (again). Footsteps and the reverse Mamasan.
2) Ed prefaced "Bushleaguer" with an acapella rendering of something I think is called "Georgie Boy." I swear I've heard it before, it's like an oldie or something, but I don't know where. He sang about four bars out of the blue, and people were like wtf. Some people started to giggle. Then, Stone burst into "Bushleaguer" and it all made sense.
3) I think ed and jeff were having a jumping contest or something. quite often, you could see jeff catch ed's eye and they'd both time a jump together. after the show, they kind of gave each other "five" as if to say, "you win." Ed's best came during Alive. He would go to a far corner of the stage, to where you couldn't even see him if you were on the opposite side. then, all of a sudden, he'd come hurdling over the monitors. he did that from both sides of the stage at some point.
4) Parachutes was dedicated to Ed's uncle freddy, who was in the crowd. ed spent like 30 seconds trying to get the spotlight on him in the crowd ("a little to the left. a little more. now down. not too far." etc). when he finally did, the crowd started chanting "Fred-dy, Fred-dy!" and pretty humorous take on those awful "ed-die!" chants. Ed thought it was funny.
5) Ed went through eight tambourines on RITFW. I can't be sure, but I think he's breaking them on purpose
6) About the crowd: There was no moshing or crowd surfing that I could see. In fact, the people around me on the floor were kind of lame. not even moving at all. the energy was good in the middle, the first 10 rows or so. after that, it was hit or miss. most of the folks in the balcony sat down the whole show. ugh.
anyway, to sum up: great show. not my favorite of all-time, but still great. if this is a preface for what's to come, I can't wait.
everybody wants the most they can possibly get
for the least they could possibly do
