so..after turning down tickets for tonites show (backstage also) DAMN...but must work....so when I got to READING..some guy I talked to said he saw all the band with their families last nite ...but ED stayed in bus cause he was not feeling good ...before show...when +LIVE+ came on..I could tell(after seeing ED 3x';s this year) ..that he was NOT 100%. ..they played more acoustic,softer songs in the beggining...(MIRROR SONG WAS AWESOME)...they only played 2from SFBM...(river-wings-)...after about 5-6 songs..ED started to get a little more himself...
my fellings about the show and +LIVE+...
1st ; after being on the road that long, my impression is they need some time off to relax)
2nd; I hate reserved seating...way to CALM!!!.....you would think the crowd in PA..would have welcomed back their BOYZ. ..but NY and NJ showed everyone how the fans of LIVE rock....way to calm for me.
i was in the front row...
3rd: you can drive around in READING lost for hours
4th: backstage; everyone was very cooled and relaxed...I didnt notice any beers for ED......and they all signed the PLAYLIST )
playlist:
rattlesnake
all over you
mirror song
runaway
the river
walk the line
lightning crashes
lakinis juice'dolphins cry
I alone
heaven
_______
run to the water
beauty of grey
shittowne
white discussion
voo doo lady
dance with you
(somewhere in the they played WINGS)

that's not the exact setlist. they played Selling the Drama, Sofia and They Stood Up For Love, which aren't on the list, and they didn't do Beauty of Gray or Run to the Water. i don't remember if there were any other songs they played that aren't on the list or not. one of the biggest surprises was that they didn't do Mystery. not that i minded not hearing that song, but it was just a shock to me.

this show blew me away!! as much as i don't really care for SFBM, this show renewed my faith in LIVE! it was almost a year since i had last seen them, so i was overdue for another show. the venue was great, the sound was great, the setlist was great (MIRROR SONG!!!!!!!!) and the guys seemed to be having a blast on stage! except for when ed was pissed about something and then started kicking the speakers on the side of the stage. overall, incredible show and i can't wait to see them again...preferably in AC!!

Good reviews
When I first started reading your post I got a little nervous, but it sounds like it turned out to be a pretty decent show despite Ed not feeling well, great set list. I know what ya mean about reserved seating it definitely changes the mood. I'm going to Toms River and it's reserved seating there too. I just hope Ed is not to burnt out, 3 shows in a row is a lot! Glad you got to meet Ed, it's an awesome feeling isn't it, I remember my first time it was so surreal. Anyway happy everyone had a good time, hope Wildwood is just as good. I know a lot of people were going to all 3 shows, lucky!!! I know I'm so pissed that I didn't do the same.

i didn't write them down, but i distinctly remember hearing those songs i listed and singing along to them. unless i was the one who was high, in which case i don't remember doing that either!
