Ed's Acoustic Performance on FM 104.5 Options

[FishOutaWater]

Ed performed I Alone, Grace, Drink and Lightening Crashes on 104.5 FM in Philly today. Here is link to the site:

FM 104.5 Studio Performance

Grace sounded amazing. Lightening Crashes was what it has always been at its best.

He was wearing some geeky glasses, a nerdy v-neck sweater with a tie, and a cap on his head. He kind of looked like the geeky Ed from high school. I've seen Ed look grunge, and of course look very cool. But I haven't seen him go for the intentionally ugly-down look before. I wish I was good looking enough to be able to go for that look on purpose.

I'm really looking forward to seeing Ed Saturday night. I will have photos to share.

I love Ed's voice. As long as he is singing, I'll be listening.

Thanks for the link........

Grace was outstanding. Drink a close second, maybe a tie....

I agree with Nick in that maybe Ed should focus more on his acoustic shows.

One of the better live sets on a radio set that I've seen/heard. His vocals were right on today.

Like you, Fish, it'd be hard not to want to listen when he sings like that....

You thought that was his "ugly-down look"?!! I liked that look. Sexy, if anything. You do realize, don't you, that statistics indicate that most girls would rather marry the geeky-nerd over the cool jock. The cool jock is the guy to have fun with during high school/college, but most think the geeky-nerd is the guy who is going to take care of them and get the gigs that make the $$$$$ .....

Ed & tie for the first time ever!

[Hobbsy]

Is it just me or does Ed look like the dad out of American Pie in this performance?

Looks more like Mr. Rogers to me!

first thing that popped into my head-- Weezer..
the look works for him.. but hardly is original..
did sound good though..

His voice sounds great. But the look? Oh, man, it is obviously a very different look for him. I'm curious if he feels it's a better fit for him in the Christian music market. It reminds me of how Ryan on "The Office" started dressing like a preppy out of nowhere. You then see he's trying to change his image to fit into the new life he's trying to create for himself as a geeky but brilliant internet entrepeneur (save the fact that he's not actually made a dime).

When I heard that Ed was doing a solo album initially I visualized something like this....stripped down music with powerful vox (for aussies think Bernard Fanning's Solo CD); just something different especially after seeing him in Brisbane last year play so well acoustically.

Part of me I guess expected the Daughtry-esque cd we got and I kinda like it a little but I wonder seeing how good Ed is this way what might've been with an acoustic cd...songs like FOTM and Zion wouldve sounded pretty good.

thoughts?

[Chelsea]

I really like Daughtry's first album and think it's much more rock music than Ed's album. I don't care for Daughtry's second album, and can see more of a comparison there.

I think Ed would do well with acoustic music. He has the voice for it and he has the charisma to carry off a show with just him and a guitar.

Here's another acoustic performance. This is from 105.5 WDHA FM in NJ.
