He headlined Glastonbury on his own and people were complaining that it was pre recorded because they couldn't see the band. Nah dude. Look at his feet pressing those pedals like his life depends on it. Incredible artist.

He tells that story literally everywhere he plays and says it was said at whichever venue he’s playing at.

I’ve seen him live multiple times, even when he was opening for Taylor. At least 4/5 times. Dude has only ever used his loop pedal as guitar. The most involvement is if he breaks a string on the guitar and they bring him another one 😂😂

I remember that and I THINK that's one of the reason he quit Twitter cause of all the negativity and hate. People just didn't know/understand what he really does.

There is a lot about Ed Sheeran that people just don't know. He's very talented.

Ed in concert is unbelievable. I didn’t know how he’d pull it off or if it would be boring with just him. Dude…it was one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to! What you saw right there he did for 2 hours, plus a light and picture show, and no one missed a whole band one bit.

I saw him in 2011 when he was opening for Taylor Swift and I didn’t even know who he was. I left that concert thinking he was the best performer I’d ever seen. I’ve been to two more of his shows and he doesn’t disappoint.

Same, insane man. Really impressive that he's really alone at the stage. I was at his concert 2017, probably the best concert I've ever seen.

Yep, it’s unbelievable how loud and hard he had it rocking in there. I’ve seen a lot of people live and he remains one of the best I’ve seen.

and he was only about 21 here! He's 32 now, and ya know he only gets better with age and experience! Ed is PHENOMENAL live - he basically does this for 2 hours straight! 🔥🔥🔥

ed is a one man show and doesn’t need those rec producers and big production. He’s fr awesome 😎 Great reaction Cliff. Ed and Ren collab yes 🙌

This was a very early Ed song about his beef with record labels. Also old school Ed is much preferred over the current radio friendly version imo

Ed Sheeran is a lyrical beast. The guy is an enigma. Not to mention a fellow Brit...😎

this is the most talent I have ever seen one person present in a single video - in my life. just unquestionably gifted

Have you discovered Ren yet?

Bloodstream at Glastonbury sticks in my mind as an outstanding performance. Bloody loved watching that. Brilliant.

You realize that this was recorded over 11 years ago...Ed was like 20 or so at this point. Dude has CRAZY talent.

Yes Ren & Ed would be super dope! Why because they are both in love with their craft!!

True and they're the same age and both grew busking on the streets in England!

His "Wayfaring Stranger" from this session is one of my favorite things ever.

I’ve seen him live 3 times and it’s just like this for every song. It’s amazing how loud and rocking he can get a stadium with just him, his guitar and his loop pedal. Definitely one of the most impressive performers I’ve ever seen live. I’m telling you, he is sooo good!

If you EVER have the opportunity to see him live--DO IT!!! I saw his stadium tour...Him, his acoustic guitar, his loop pedal, and a mic and he held 80,000 in thrall for 2.5 hours. Best live music experience of my life--and I'm 54 and have been going to at least 5 concerts a year since I was 18.

He is the definition of an artist and a creator

I’ve performed this version at gigs (minus the loop station) for years. Took me a month to learn it front to back. The guy is a monster in live performance.

Always blown away each time I hear this. Some skills from his busking days. WhenI cirst used to listen to him he was always rapping and later I was suprised tk hear him sing too. Now I think he is maybe more known by non fans, for his singing. He had a line that he can't see him being anythibg but a singer songwriter. Yes ut is in his blood. Greatfor music lovers :) Thanks for reacting to this. Liked.

Ren and Ed collab would be amazing, but I'm curious about the effect of just seeing Ren play around with a looping station. Seeing how good Ed already is on his own, and knowing Ren is 🔥both live and recorded, Ren and Ed together would break the internet.

It would be awesome.

I liked Ed from the start. Then I started searching some of his other stuff when he was new. This was one of the sessions that solidified my love in his style. So talented

Yo man, hope you’re well. I love the content. I saw Ed Sheeran at V Festival in 2012 in London. He headlined the smallest stage (inside a giant tent) it was absolutely heaving with people inside and outside around the tent. He did a 35 minute version of this track, all with the loop pedal, and bought out Wretch 32, Giggs, Kano, Devlin and many others - IT WAS AMAZING!

He did a interview where he mentioned people say you’re lucky you have that talent yada yada and he’s like I’m not lucky. I was shit when I started, but he’d worked damn hard to get to this level. Icing on the cake, he had a recording of himself when he was much younger, and just starting out.

Heard this live in Reading concert. Still gives me goosebumps listening to this version, what you hear on this is nothing compared to one of his concerts

This was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏👏👏

As a former English private school choir boy like ed I can confidently say this man seriously talented 🎉

Definitely need a Ren and Ed collab

There are a few trumpet players that can play a single note for a minutes. They perfected breathing in the nose while pushing air from their cheeks at the same time. This is that level of breathe control

there is a version of this with Devlin and Wretch32 live.. well worth a watch/listen

iTunes 2012 version is amazing too…. 19 minutes long 😂

This video made me buy a loop pedal, I've been watching it since 2011. He's my hero. His 4 videos in the live room are terrific. I've been his biggest fan since his loose change LP in 09'. Aw man. So glad you're reacting to this. Love it!! ❤️

16:41 - Dude, I had no idea you hadn't reacted to this one yet or I would have gotten it in front of you sooner. This was a magical performance, truly. Awesome reaction and I'm glad you're here new. Check out his mashup "Ed Sheeran - Don't/Loyal/No Diggity/The Next Episode/Nina (Live at the Ruby Sessions)" on the Ruby Sessions TV channel

oh a Ed and Ren collab would be something else .

The shots from the producer's booth 😂 Man got nothing to do!!! 😂

I've been commenting on a bunch of channels trying to get ppl to react to this - So glad you finally did! This video seriously changed the way I feel about Ed - I never had a problem with him, but the amount of respect I gained for him by seeing this was immense.

Yeah brother.... Ed's *been* this good!! ;) I'm not really into his pop songs, but some of the stuff he's done on his collab projects is great fun. ;)

This was the video that made me start playing guitar and writing music! Happy to see you react to this one and remind me where my music journey started!!! Much love ❤✊🏼

YES a Ed x Ren hit now plix!

Real deal ❤

SO GLAD you finally reacted to this one!!! ♥ you really need to go to his concert when you can, it is a mustsee! He wrote this while busking ☺

Yeah, Ed is fcking talented, no doubt about it!

Great reaction. Picked up my morning after a weird start to the day. Thanks 🙏 I forget how good Ed is

I absolutely love watching him create music! It is amazing to watch!

Ren and Ed colab..Yes Please !!!

EPIC

Ren and Ed would be epic!!

I was literally imagining that collab when you came out and said it! 💭

man i was waiting for this

Watched this during the live stream and watching it again still leaves me surprised

He is sooo great live!!!

I was at the show where he brought out Eminem in Detroit and it was epic. What he does with so little is unfathomable in person. Listen to a live performance of Ed Sheeran - Bloodstream for another good example Side note: I love the work you do and the positivity you spread. Been following your channel for a while and you've never switched up once. Respect. Stay well❤

Yup you took the thought right out of my mine. Ren & Ed would shake the earth I stand on😂😂😂

From his debut album till now Ed Sheeran never miss. Especially on his live concerts where he mashup all his songs from different album using the same beat that he made in the loop, which is pretty addictive when you hear one.

Fun fact Ed was sleeping on the couch at Jamie Foxx when he was trying to make it. Waaaay before a team and I see fire

I absolutely love Ed Sheeran

All his Live room performances are amazing. As are B.O.B's and shinedowns but you need to check out Ed and Devlins 3 songs on live lounge, blind faith is a beauty

🤣He is playing a custom Martin Guitar they ain't cheep but yes has stayed Humble and yes a Collab with Ren would be FIRE.

I loved the official vid but this is SOOOO DAMN much better. The man is the MAN. Talent, when live, whether it is in small studio, busking, in small space, or just ficking a stadium filled with a man and a guitar and his live loops... ... real talent SHINES. Ed fell off my playlist. Back on again... should be Staylist rotation. Much Respect. Nice react, as always.

Wow....speechless

Trust me, even today whenever he performs this song, you know shits about to get real ❤❤

He dose give me love in the same live lounge session

This proves how much I love your sister

Would love a Ed and Ren collab! 🤩🙌🏻

Yes Yes Yes Ed and Ren would be The Awesomest!!!!

What missing here ? Yes, REN

Ed told the court that if he was found guilty of plagiarism, he’d never play again. He meant it. Thankfully he won. He’s talented AF! Love him. Always have. Slow or fast songs. He really can do it all. He just said “A-Team”, which is part of his lyrics on Taylor’s End Game! Ahh. Makes a little more sense now. 😉👏🏻

The man is dammed good.

Hell yeah brother.hope they get to do it on a track together

Just a quick trivia, this song and performance was prior his success. So the line that you emphasize about sleeping from couch to couch isn't about him being on tour all the time. It is actually his experience before his music boomed. Ed was open about it in the interviews that he actually played on the street and pub to pub when he was young. There are times when he go with other people just to get a place to sleep in.

Our wedding song was Ed and Beyoncé duets. I tear up every time I hear it.

Ed used to split so well and no one realised then he went mainstream and he blew up but he is still a great artist for the old skool heads.

Ren and Ed would be TOO BIG!! The world wouldn't be able to handle it. 😂

That was surprising! I didn't know? A Ren x Ed colab ? Yes please.

Chary... Sounds very good!🎉

Ed stuttered as a child. His dad bought him the Eminem cd. Ed sang it over and over and it cured his stutter.

Haha dunno why you getting the hook bar made me smile but it did rufioooooooo😂

Oooh, Ed and Ren, that'd be amazing!

Can you imagine he had a stutter as a kid? Eminem's music helped him overcome his stutter. Seeing the video again has awakened my love for ed sheeran again.

This is the OG Ed that I used to listen to with Devlin cos they were amazing together.

He wrote this song when he was 16.

whoever requested this is a goat

Thank You Cliff for making this part of the livestream to a reaction! The livestream is blocked for me..

❤❤❤❤

Cliff-- speaking of REN. He just posted while he is working on his next album. Has the bones already he says. Looking for artists to cover for him. Im with you-- Ed and Ren would be fire

Oh someone hooked you up with this classic. I saw ed for the first time around this time. Around 2010. Live at a gig with about 200 people max. This is where it began. He went a bit commercial in my view around 2013 and then obviously the rest is history and in history books (album when he had about 9 tracks in the top 10. Anyway. Very talented guy. You should check out the song he did for SBTV. Called "F64". About Jamal.

I think this was a little after 2010 actually. But fun fact he wrote this about the fact he was touring with no label and is basically saying they need him selling shit for them. He doesn't need the label

❤ Ed is the man! He has sooooo many amazing songs ❤ Think I'd p!SS my pants if we got an Ed n Ren song! 😂

Given Ed more listens, since I got into Ren / both incredibly talented artists who are real.

Another fantastic British artist you’d enjoy if you don’t already know of him is James Arthur. Try his song Train Wreck on for size.

Ren and Ed Sheeran colab would be fire!

Yes. Ed and Ren would be outstanding!

He’s definitely got his own house now man these songs were from before he was rich lol. Ed lives near me he’s always at our football games he’s a legend

Thank you for reacting to my music they stole from me so that I can regain my rights and the rightful owner can get paid rather than the thief.

Modern day bob dylan

He definitely doesn’t live on no couch his house is massive 😂 he lives down the road from me mans a legend 🤙🏻

im comeing up next!!

Imagine a collab between Ed Sheeran and Harry Mack....

If you liked this you'd probably like Lately by Ed Sheeran ft. Devlin Super underrated song by his. Rap inspired for sure. Came out 6 years ago on his main channel and only got 470k views

❤........

I would appreciate a Ren and Ed Sheeran collab.

Name any other artist who can sell out a stadium, alone, with just a guitar.

I feel like this is what happens when a Bard rolls a nat 20 in battle.

This coming year he’s touring Europe and Asia, hopefully he comes back to the US in 2025. I would love to see him in concert.

At his last US show in October (Vegas!) he came out for his encore wearing a Raiders jersey, but instead of his name on the back it said ‘see you in’ and the jersey number ‘26’. So I don’t think he will be back touring North America until 2026. 😕

Forgot to include these live performances in my previous comment, sorry: I Was Made to Love Her - Grammys Bloodstream - Brits I Don’t Care - Abbey Road Sessions Sheeran Looper : Shape of You and YNMIDNY Castle on the Hill and SOY with Stormzy - Brits All his BBC One covers Please find his impromptu performance in Blue Room He is THE entertainer of my lifetime. That includes Beyoncé, Taylor, Michael Jackson, Prince… I think Ed is #1.
