I sit on the fence with Ed. I respect his talent and his creative lyrics and enjoy some of his songs.
I don't like him enough to attend a concert though.
The footage I have seen from his current Australian tour looks a little boring and the crowd don't appear over enthusiastic either.
Did you attend and was it worth it?
I enjoyed it, thought it was amazing how he only needs his guitar and a loop station to play all his music. He pretty much sang for 2 hours straight, which may be boring for people who like to see a bit more 'action'.
The crowd standing on the ground floor might've been a bit more enthusiastic, you can definitely hear people singing with him during the chorus.
I've been to three shows. The first at Festival Hall, the second at AAMI Park and now at Ethiad.
I think for his type of performance, a small intimate show like at Festival Hall is without a doubt a better experience as you are closer and can feel the energy more. Whereas at these larger shows, you really just sit back and enjoy the quality of his singing.
Always wondered whether you pronounce his last name as "Shiraaaaaaan" or "Shiren"
