Ed will be performing at May Day in Indianapolis at the end of May. Some of you midwesterners may be interested. This festival is usually kick ass.

Quantity over quality? Just curious, how are you measuring the quality of fans? What makes good quality vs bad quality? And how can you judge all this by a minute video clip? When I saw TGF in concert in Virginia (which was good btw), at least half the crowd was just sitting at their tables without any movement at all. It was the furthest thing from a "diabolic riot"...

It really just sounds like people are making stuff up just to start arguments or to bash one side or the other without making any sense whatsoever. This crap is starting to get ridiculous!

Did you bother to read and try to understand my post?

Well lets take a look at both of your posts before my reply.

With all due respect, I have never seen such a huge and lame crowd in my entire life.

Funny enough, the TGF audience from the very beggining, from the first shows, really does look and sound as a diabolic riot compared to this one.

Damn.

You called the crowd huge and lame based on a minute clip. You then talked about how TGF crowds look like a diabolic riot compared to this...well, I can tell you first hand, that the TGF show that I went to half or more than half were sitting in chairs at their table looking disinterested unfortunately. Is that to say that is all TGF crowds? No, absolutely not but I wouldn't bash this one unless you would make the same comment about a TGF clip...which I don't think you would.

Then, after Nick did a rolled eyes reply. You said this...

What?

I think it is not the quantity, but quality that counts. And have you read my post properly without yer sunglasses on?

Since all you have talked about so far is about the crowd, you can only infer that you are talking about the quality of the crowd. Which I responded how can you tell the quality of the crowd? What makes a good quality crowd vs a bad and how can you tell based on this 1 minute video clip? How are we to judge this? Were we standing in the heat with the crowd?

So, the answer is yes...I read and understood your posts.

Well TGF doesn't have any #1 singles in their repertoire either. I'd expect a bigger response from a crowd that size too, especially since it looks like he closed the set with it. Nice that he can play in front of that many people, but that's a far cry from the Live days, even if the crowd was large. He does seem out of place on that lineup and some of the others he's playing. I guess Live has still got some goodwill. Too bad that couldn't actually be Live on the lineup. I can't imagine EK continuing to get these kind of shows with his back up band or new material.

Lightning Crashes was #1 in 1995 not 2005 Depending on the age range of the crowd, a lot of people may not have heard the song other than every once in a while on the radio. They might not even realize how big that sound was back then. It's not like many of these people came specifically to see Ed as he wasn't even the headliner.

Judging from the video, I think Ed got a very nice ovation at the end of his set.

I thought so too, but we are probably wrong
