For his encore at the Chicago Theatre Subtract gig, Ed performed Parting Glass and Afterglow completely off-mic - his guitar wasn’t even mic’d!
He talks for about a minute before singing. Stick with this all the way through - it’s very worth it!
This was a stop on his Subtract Tour which is only held in relatively small venues. He's touring Subtract concurrently with his Mathematics Stadium Tour. The night after this show he broke the single night attendance record at Chicago's Soldier Field - 73,000 attended.
This Chicago Theatre show was sold out at a capacity crowd of 3600.
