notes: A very up and down show, Ed obviously battling a cold, but cracking jokes and the crowd at the front and sides on fire at the smallest venue of the tour. After ‘Light Years’ Ed speaks for the first time and saying that the venue is like “… playing someone’s back yard … the devil’s back yard.” Wild Matt fills during ‘NAIS’ and Mike playing guitar behind his head. After ‘EF,’ Ed mentions that before the show, there were two huge car company signs at the front of the stage which the venue didn’t want to remove. “We definitely didn’t want be a two hour commercial for Dodge…and they weren’t going to take it down. Actually, we could be a commercial for Dodge,” and proceeds to sing a little bit: “Can’t find a better van … or we could do one for Ford,” and then rips away at his guitar. Ed also says he was glad to play the Greek when it was still the Greek, and wasn’t the “Cisco Theater, or the Firestone Theater…” Ed plays guitar on ‘Black’ briefly. He tries to motivate the crowd during ‘DTE’ during the “hallelujah” part (“C’mon guys!”) and has trouble with the lyrics, flipping around a few lines. There is a 10-second sound outage during ‘RVM’ when the PA goes out. ‘U’ is introduced as, “We’re about to play a song that none of you know … actually these guys would know it,” pointing at some fans in the crowd. Before ‘Soon Forget,’ he says that Neil Diamond has played in this venue a lot, but he’s never played a ukulele. ‘Soon Forget’ is perfect (no clapping tonight)!
