That was a blast! I was in section 103 near the stage, had a great view and everyone was up and rocking out all night.
Band sounded tight, Ed sounded great for the most part. The energy in the room was wonderful - it felt like a big party, especially Alive/Baba/Yellow Ledbetter.
I agree that Light Years is a bit too uptempto, but they still nailed it. The set flowed really well for me, even the slower numbers like NAIS and Sleeping By Myself didn't kill the momentum. The crowd was up all night.
I love the sets where they sprinkle one or two rarities with the guaranteed crowd-pleasers surrounding them. That way, we get a bit of everything.
That might be a top 10 for me.

I haven't heard Oceans or Light Years since my first show, and I would love to hear them both again.

The one at Wrigley sounded really nice so I can only assume it's connected to his recent vocal problem.

To be fair, he did sing it after Given To Fly and Even Flow in the middle of a set, compared to when its usually the first song of the night.
