The crowd wasn't that big, especially because I'm used to Live selling out that place. But the ones that were there were into it and I thought were very receptive to the new music particularly Stand, Zion, and Grace. I would say that the songs actually sound a lot better in concert than they do on the cd. I was really impressed with Rome, which I'm not a fan of. That was a helluva lot better and they did a little jam at the end of the song. I was pleasantly surprised on how well the Live songs sounded which was a relief. As for Ed, he was very interactive with the crowd...slapping hands, running all over the stage the entire show. For Adam fans, he has a more prominent role on stage which is nice. He was really getting into during I Alone and was the lead for Lightning Crashes. I had a great time and really enjoyed the show.

Watching Ed tonight...seeing him into the music, especially the songs for Alive and hearing how Chad, Chad, and Pat are enjoying themselves in TGF...it does give me happiness as I feel that it was the right decision to part ways. This is the way music is suppose to be and good luck to all of them.

An amazing show. It blew last years's Live show out the water with intensity. Last year, Live was going through the emotions, this year Ed and the new band seemed to actually enjoy being there. The crowd was in the 1000-1300 range, if I would guess. The fans there were really into the show and were singing loudly to all the hits. It ranks as one of the best shows I ever been to period.

After the concert, Ed met any fan who wished to stay and signed CD's and took pictures. Just a total class act.
