My wife and I had the pleasure of going to this show at the House of Blues in the "Cambridge Room". It's a small venue only able to hold about 400 people, but it was packed TIGHT.

We were right upfront on the rail and loved the entire show.

Ed came out right at 9 with his bassist, Chris. He helped quite a bit on backing vocals for a few songs.

The set list was the same from the other recent shows. Mostly Live tracks with a few solo. 3 of them being new songs from his upcoming full album.

Seven
All the I Wanted
Angels on a Razor

All 3 sound great, although he did forget the first verse to Angels.


Ed sounded amazing throughout. VERY strong voice.

The room loved what was going on and responded LOUDLY. Seriously, I've been in large venues that didn't respond this strongly. Lots of times where the entire crowd was singing along almost drowning Ed out.



Overall I was floored by the performance top to bottom.

After the show, there was a little confusion as Ed said he would come back out and mingle a bit. After about 20 mins, Ed came back out to talk with the fans that hung around.

My wife got star struck by Ed. But, seemed to be a very down to earth guy, very friendly.

I managed to snag the set list and a guitar pick. We had him sign the setlist and get a picture with him. For me, it fulfilled a 15 year dream of meeting one of my favorite musicians and it was not disappointing.


I can't say enough about how good of a show this was. Passionate performance in a small, intimate setting.
