ed cant win. trips me out people bitch that he plays like edward van halen or plays the lick repertoire he created and 4 million players tried to lift. give me a break , give him a bump of charisma and a few hits off a joint, its 1978 all over again! however , if we want him around except the clean , 54 yr. old ed.

And as for all the shit talkers here… this old school VH solo sounds just right..its standard issue Eddie void of any mistakes.

Don’t EVER fuck with Eddie.

Respect.

Yup Eddie has the modern day Clapton look going on. Plaid shirts are cool… I personlly own a few.

It’s hard to be “Top Shelf” every night, but even if this wasn’t his best performance, I still prefer a sub-par Eddie over anyone else. There comes a time when a 50+-year-old cannot hang with his 30-year-old self. That said, Eddie still hangs pretty well. I do agree with an earlier poster: it’ll be nice to hear him release some new stuff.

Also, I found it interesting that he was on his neck pick-up the entire time; I always thought he did most of his solo stuff on the bridge.

Very entertaining – I enjoy the sound collage part in the middle the most – probably the freshest part of the entire performance.
