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.
