I can vouch for what Chris is saying on personal levels. I withhold my funds if something is not sort of right with a sitution which I support and the facts say, why should I continue to support with my $$.

On the other hand, I can say I will be plunking down $$ for TGF shows and CD's.

The only thing Ed ever did to anyone on this board is give each of us many years of entertainment. Those are the only "facts" that I am 100 percent aware of.

I guess you never tickets buy from Ticketmaster or other greedy corportations? I suppose you only attend sporting events where all the players/coaches are nice guys as well? The whole argument is just idiotic.

It's not idioic at all.

I boycott Comcast at all costs. I stopped going to NHL Hockey games and the team owned by Comcast. The product has been turned to shit by a guy who resembles Napolean and the team I like has become more than a corporation. It's all about marketing now and nothing of it once was so I do not spend my $$ on it.

Exactly. I make a lot of money and I spend it too. You have to earn my money. Sure, there's a line, and there's also practicality, but I make my choices when I can. When a local restaurant totally pissed me off, I stopped going there. I spent my money elsewhere. Eventually, enough people got pissed of and now the place is closed. Unfortunately, there's little you can do except express your feelings with your wallet.

Yes... like my favorite restaurant, Ed gave me nearly 2 decades of entertainment, albeit a lot less in the 2nd, but neverthless, if he did those things to the band... and I'm assuming he did since he has not come out with any explanation which is his choice, than that makes him a shitty person and I'd rather not support him. Perhpas if enough people expressed their displeasure in things, in a fair and civil way, there'd ultimately may be less things to be displeased about. If everyone continually just says, "oh fuck it... what do I care" then it allows companies, people, etc. to be total dicks and get away with it. Again, I'm not on a crusade, and I'm not out to rally anyone. It's just how I conduct myself.

And you never have been a dick to other people? You lived a perfect life and are a candidate for sainthood?

And you never have been a dick to other people? You lived a perfect life and are a candidate for sainthood?

How do you read that into anything I said and I'm wondering why you feel the need to come at me. I wasn't saying anything about you, or anyone else here, or how you should conduct yourself.

Of coure I've been a dick at times. Who hasn't. But being a dick is not the same thing as maliciously fucking over people. And if I mistreat anyone, it usually comes back around I've found.

So save your witty jabs. It's silly and tired.

I wasn't trying to personally attack you. I just find it annoying that the Chad Taylor has basically tattle-tailed on Ed on his blog to try and make him lose fan support.

Do we know the backstory of why Ed did what he did, or if he even did it at all? I am sure many bandmates over time screw each other over in some way or another, just most don't feel the need to post personal issues on some blog.

If Chad just said the band broke due to creative differences, things would have been fine. They could have taken Ed to court over the other thing, and if true it would have all come out over time. The way things were handled, just did not appeal to me.

Nick would love to Ed.

1.) Ed has been losing his own fan support through his actions and comments.
2.) The band stating facts is not tattling (this is not school Nick).
3.) Ed has had numerous time, and an open forum on his website, to respond and has failed to provide any back story.

I will buy Ed's new album (and nothing else) and give it that support, but the support Nick constantly gives to Ed is puzzling, like he's sticking up for a family member or something.

The show was in Vegas was awesome. I'm not great at writing reviews, but it was one my top concert experiences ever. The venue was perfect and probably about 90 percent full. The show ran 2.5 hours and all 3 artists put on a good show.

Leigh Nash came out first and performed a 30 minute set of mostly hits. She has a quirky and likeable nature about her. Her boyfriend played guitar while she sang her songs. Highlights :Kiss Me, There She Goes, and Sooner or Later.

Art Alexakis was a good storyteller but a so-so performer vocally. He performed roughly 40 minutes and really ripped into a guy was mildly heckling him. Most of the crowded enjoyed his set though. Highlights: Santa Monica, Father of Mine, Wonderful

Ed's set was amazing. He was in awesome spirits and put on a very entertaining set. The majority of the crowd was really into the performance. Also, Jen Lowe really compliments Ed well with the beat box.

Setlist: (not sure how accurate)
Get Ready
Selling the Drama
The Distance
I Alone
Turn My Head
Everlasting Love (Daughtry co-wrote the song, album out later this spring)
Pain Lies on the Riverside
The Dolphin's Cry
Beauty of Gray
All Over You (Ed and Jen really rock this one out acoustically)
Heaven
Lightning Crashes

Encore:
All 5 performers performed "Take a Load Off Fanny" by Bob Dylan. It was definitely the highlight of the night and sent everyone home happy.

I have to agree with the review above. The Vegas show was incredible & definitely ranks up there as one of the best concerts I've seen to date. The crowd really got into each artist's performance & the energy was awesome! I was not very familiar with Leigh's music aside from the couple radio hits of Sixpence None the Richer but I really enjoyed her solo songs. Her & her boyfriend (whose name I forgot already) really perform well together. I will probably end up buying her CD as she has a new fan in me. Art was good as well, great storyteller and good performer. I can say that his music is not typically my style but I still enjoyed his set. And, finally Ed's performance. In the words of Art, "Eddie is phenomenal!". Ed, as usual, put on an outstanding show. I think the set list is pretty accurate that is listed. I can't say much more about Ed's performance other than he really got into it and the crowd's response was awesome. He really interacted with the crowd too & that was pretty cool.

The song they performed together was fun too. I think they did a great job with it and you could tell they didn't have a chance to rehearse it all that much...but still, very good.

I was in the front row & had the opportunity to meet all 3 artists after the show. Ed was very humble & quite polite. He seems like such a down to earth person. Had the chance to chat with Ed for a couple minutes & he was nice enough to sign a small pile of stuff I took with me, along with posing for a pic. Leigh was really sweet & Art was cool too but very quiet. Also got their autographs & pics.

They did some kind of after party at a club over at the Palazzo but I didn't go. I'm sure it was fun too.

All in all, a really great concert experience and one that surely won't be duplicated anytime soon! If you have the chance to see Open Wings, you should go!
