Actually was about 300-500 people there. It was 102 degrees so a lot were standing in shaded areas away from the stage. For an afterwork concert in a horrible heat wave, Ed drew a nice crowd.

Nick I dont know you and I try to respect your opinions on here but come on man! WTF are you smoking? 300-500 people. Maybe at the actual festival or whatever that was going on that day but not at the stage Ed was playing. Try to spin it whatever way you can man. The camera doesnt lie. There is also a recording of Selling The Drama too and its like everyone is asleep watching him. And I guess those 300 people are still in the shade too because there is still no one at the stage. Im even dissapointed myself seeing this and wish he would get a bigger turn out but maybe this is why his US tour has so little dates because he cant sell tickets. I hope it gets better for him I really do. I was even hoping he would visit Atlanta so I could see him but there is no way I would invite someone with me to a concert 4 hours away and we be like only 2 of 20 people there. No way. Embarrasing!

The US tour is developing slowly. Ed is also touring Europe, Australia, and South Africa this Fall. There is no way he could accomplish an entire US slate on top of all that.

There was definitely a few hundred people there. Maybe 500 was a high estimate but there was a lot of people filling the space. The hottest area was the unshaded area in front of the stage and many hung back. The concert grounds when back probably about 1000 feet and people were hanging all throughout the are. More and more people showed at the concert went on as well.

Also remember the concert was at 5 pm, when most were still in work. It was a one stage festival show, and it was a good turnout with a few hundred fans.

I'm not gonna get into an argument with anyone as to how many people were there, although I do admit that even though the camera is focused on the stage its a bit silly to deny that the only people at the gig were the ones in view of the camera, I'm sure there were more people than what the camera shows. Maybe not a lot more, but still more.

My gripe is just how god damn uninspiring that performance was. I know it must have been how with that heatwave, but like you always say Nick, put on a good show for the crowd, didn't look like it. Selling the Drama was just ... lifeless, the band don't move and all Ed does is walk back and forth with his knees bent all the time doing those weird hip movements. This isn't even touching on the drum machine on the left hand side of the stage.

I think I'm getting more and more comfortable with the idea of Ed's tour passing Aus by and me not attending, that doesn't look like it's worth money to me.
