Wow, how is it possible that this show has already been "sold out?"

Show was sold out. Small venue - 300 seats at a museum. Upper class middle aged white folks mostly. Where are the Ed fans under 35? Zak can play his instruments well, but I don't think he sounds very good on any Live song. I kept imagining going back to 1995 and seeing Live rock out tremendously in that tiny venue. Zak seemed to be a good match for the Ed solo songs though. Ed played guitar for everything except stage. Strange seeing Ed play guitar on Lakini's juice. Ed says he's working on a new recording. His voice was dying by the end of the show which he attributed to the dry desert air in Phoenix. By turn my head, he sung everything in a lower register and a little softer. I'm guessing they played one song fewer than every other show due to his voice dying. I was mostly not impressed by the visuals. Mostly just Rami playing instruments in the video, which corresponded to the drum track used during the show. I'm guessing Ed has the same stories for every show. I alone: Ed wrote the lyrics "it's easier not to be wise" because he wasn't feeling very wise at the time: Jerry Harrison told Ed he needed to finish up the lyrics cause they ran out of money for production, and Ed was struggling to get the lyrics finished. At the end of the show. Ed had a table for signing cd's after the show. Huge line, I did not stay. He probably wouldn't have liked my questions anyway.
