I was pumped. The venue was small the stage was about 20 feet long. Ed came out and he had a beard and he was growing out his hair. He wore a black skull cap. I was happy because it seemed like 2000/2001. Then they started playing. They sucked. Ed and Chad were so stoned it was ridiculous (If you deny this you are a fool). In no order they played mystery, the river, wings, sophia, heaven, walk the line, rattlesnake, lakinis juice, dolphins cry, run to the water, i alone, all over you, lightning crashes, mirror song, beauty of grey. And thats all folks. 15 songs. Maybe i missed one. I give them credit. 2/3 through they snapped to life and busted out. Chad was his old self. Ed is moving around the stage like he was when he was hanging out with duritz. The rolled into the first encore. LJ, I Alone, LC....thats it. The crowd was so bad they did not come back.

Im going back tommorrow in AC. Im willing to chalk this up as "guys night out" where they got stoned without the wives. Im hoping tommorrow is a drunk show where they play a little longer.
