Comments: I did my best to remaster this. It's not as good as 2-24 obviously,
'cause it's not a soundboard, but it's a respectable audience recording now.
The levels were raised and some hiss was taken out. This copy sounds MUCH
better than what I had originally, which is almost inaudible... The levels are
still a little low, but this was the most I could tweak 'em without killing the
sound.
Notes (from 5H):
Ed appearing solo acoustic at a show organized by Roger Daltrey in honor
of his 50th birthday. His set was slotted immediately after the
intermission, when most people were still out in the lobby, and was not
announced. He strolls onstage dressed very low key -- most of the audience
thought he was a stagehand or a roadie. Ed's performance was not filmed or
recorded for broadcast (at the behest of his record company), and the
stage had very little light on it compared to the rest of the evening's
performances.
Very nervous and apprehensive, walking onstage to a round of booing, Ed
soon wins over the crowd with his exact and heartfelt renditions. At the
end of the show, the rest of the performers appear onstage together for an
all-star jam session. Since Ed was not permitted to be filmed, he spends
the encore wandering around behind the orchestra riser (the show featured
the Julliard Symphony Orchestra) and watching the spectacle from out of
the camera range, looking for all the world like a lost three-year old.
