So, i was reading the comments on the youtube video of the NYE concert and found this interesting little comment. I am certainly a fan of Ed and i am not passing judgement, or even saying this is true or false, just thought i would share.

I think it's fair to say that all 4 of them are perfectionists and particular about their craft. They once operated at a very high and large-scale level and they have played big important shows in their past and became accustomed to expecting a high level performance from themselves and their crew. I have seen pre-show preparations and it is a professional operation. And I have had discussions after shows with members of the band and when there are aspects of the sound and stage that are not up to their standards, and it bothers them and can throw them off. I've seen more than just Ed pissed about sound or stage set up. Their work ethic and expectations are there because they want to put on the best show for the fans. I have always thought that is why they often let a long time elapse after an opening act. I've seen them on a tiny stage in bar on multiple occasions, and they have the mics and instruments and duct tape and lighting and everything set and tweeked and tested. The right brand of water and the right number of towels in just the right places on the stage. Matt Gracey and the crew make sure they have the same quality set-up regardless of whether that are playing for 700 or 40,000. So yeah, if Ed is getting bad sound in his monitor or the mix isn't good, they get irked.
