Wow! What a night! To skip over the emotions of the day and the last few weeks waiting for this magical night, I'll just start with the curtain opening and Ed standing in a beam of white light, arms outstretched as he too bathed in the awe of what was going on.

Ed solo on acoustic started the night with a killer rendition of Last Kiss. And while a good portion of the crowd thought the were in a karaoke bar and sang along, another good portion kept yacking with their neighbors. It's a shame too because next Ed treated everyone to a new song "we had never heard before unless we were up in his hotel room earlier."

After the passing of Walter Payton and a friend of his, (later after switching to electric, Ed's guitar had Walter's number 34 on it) Ed had a moment of self-reflection and wrote a song about who would get his stuff when he had gone. He also told a great story about his acoustic guitar: Beth had recently bought it from a charity for him as it had once belonged to Pete and she had said there was no way a banker was going home with it. He joked that it was his Christmas present for the next 10 years.

He finished up his solo set with Elderly Woman before bringing out C Average and going electric. Their set contained some covers I recognized but couldn't place though they threw Wishlist in there and finished with I Am A Patriot: "I'm not someone who would vote for George W. Bush" (Hope I got the wording right) They then hurried off the stage for the World's Greatest Rock and Roll Band but Ed and C Average (a great band with a hell of a drummer) came back out during the Who's second encore to join in on Let's See Action. Unfortunately Ed's mic wasn't turned up enough at the beginning and his vocals were lost until it was turned up but he didn't seem to care; he was having as much fun, probably more, as everyone in the audience. Wow! What a night!
