Eddie K w/ Full Band @ Starland videos, July 9th, 2010 Options

Here is a couple vids I shot....More to follow. The show was amazing. Ed was on top of his game and was really into the music. The band did a great job as well and they all had a lot of energy. I got to take some pics w/ Ed and get his autograph as well...He was very "GRACIOUS" and humble. Alive is in the top 40 in iTunes and #3 in iTunes Alternative albums...Rock on ED. Like I originally said there will be more videos following!

If you actually read the other thread Ike posted a pretty pointed critique of the show, and the reviews of past shows have not all been favorable either.

It's true. I do want to stress that I really went to Buffalo with an open mind. I, like most of us, want what's best for the guys and if this current situation makes them all happier, then I'm all for it. The stuff off 'Alive' was pretty well done... if you're into that stuff (I can see why many aren't). However, the +Live+ stuff that Ed's doing with his new band just doesn't translate. Like I said before, it felt like the Ed and Adam show with a bad cover band behind them. They missed changes in Live tunes.. didn't know the forms and changed stuff to be musically simpler. Most of my criticism was aimed squarely at the drummer in that regard, and it was nice to see in the other thread that I'm not alone on those criticisms. If they are studio guys, and pros, they should be better than that.

To me, it seems like the new guys are doing their best to mimic what CCP were doing, but aren't there. Adam and Ed were solid on the stuff (Adam spent a good part of the night cuing the others on stage to the changes), but the others were musically sloppy.

I'll go see them again. I'm not off Ed's solo stuff for ever. I still love listening to him sing. Just reporting the state of things as I saw them that night.
