Saw Gord and the Sadies in Montreal last night at the Corona theatre. To say it was sparsely attended would be an understatement...maybe 150 people there, tops. Which made for an interesting show, since Gord kept trying to engage the crowd, with varying results. Thankfully, it didn't seem to affect their performance, as it was probably the best hip-related show I've seen since the 2009 theatre tour. Gord was on point, and the Sadies...my god, the Sadies are fantastic. The setlist was the same as the ones earlier in the year (the whole album, and a few covers...the who, neil, stooges, GBV etc etc)...
As much as I love the album though (and I do), the covers were the best part. I'd pay 2013 Hip-level money to see them do 90 minutes of weird covers.
