Yeah, I got to go. It was great to meet him and see him very coherent and extremely gracious. He stood there for over an hour and took pictures with everyone in attendance.

Thanks for posting the link. @29:28 he plays some harmonic stuff, intro to Women In Love, and he just half-ass kind of does it and then turns to the audience and says, "that doesn't sound right..." that is such a genuine, and honest moment. This interview is a great platform for Ed to show his "I'm just like you guys" attitude. And he credits something beyond himself as the possible source of his inspiration and genius. He's the real deal man - so very cool. Thanks for posting the link.
