notes: On the occasion of Rob Glaser’s (CEO of Real Networks) 40th birthday, Ed performs a solo acoustic set, including a new song, followed by a set with C-Average. Inside sources report the following: “Ed and Rob Glaser are good friends, going back to their mutual involvement in the West Memphis Three case. Ed sang the entire set alone first, with Jon and Brad of C-Average joining him later … at which point he invited everyone to commence bowling as he said: ‘You guys can keep bowling, but I’m just going to play a few more songs, if you don’t mind.’ Ed also sang ‘happy birthday’ to Rob and gave Rob the ukulele. He was wearing jeans, a tan shirt and a fedora, he said when Ed took the fedora off he had like a mohawk or something that resembled it. It was originally only supposed to be one set but it ended up being two.”
