Show Notes
A crowd pleasing setlist with stagediving occurring during ‘Corduroy’ and ‘Jeremy’ (uncommon in Australia now). The lead singer from Shudder to Think helps out on the “hallelujah” vocals on ‘Do the Evolution.’ Problems with the ‘Wishlist’ lyrics seemingly continue to plague Ed. During ‘Alive,’ with the audience singing rather than Ed, he pulls a fan onstage from the intense pit. Ed dances with the fan, gives him what appears to be his stage pass (or a pick?), the fan thanks the whole band (including a kiss to Mike’s cheek) and pushes the stage pass into the face of the security people before heading off stage. The ‘RitFW’ encore is prefaced by Ed saying that they won’t do another song until everyone raises their middle fingers on the count of three and shouts “Shudder to Think” in their “perfect Aussie diction.” (Apparently this was done as a reference to openers, Shudder to Think, who encourage the crowd to do this.)
