"New song" was the exact feeling. Don't get people's hopes up like that!

As one of the many who have been disappointed with the screaming lately (and by lately, I mean the past 15 years) I was ecstatic about this show. Gord can still sing when he wants to. Lots of people have said this over the past few years, and I have come back from shows disappointed, wondering why people can't admit the truth. Not this time. Songs that are never played live, like pigeon camerama, the wherewithal and lionized, were standouts. im not sure if it was the venue or the band, but the band as a whole has never sounded better. This was a great show, on par with the 2009 tour. My wife and I wished they'd played twice as long, and at recent shows I've dragged her to, she has wanted to leave early. The venue looked to be sold out and probably had 2000 people or so. The girl who ripped my ticket said she had never seen so many canadian IDs, and she had only seen about 15 Americans.

Of note, show started promptly at 7:30 ended at 9:15. There was some DJ/club night after. Anyone going to another show this tour, make sure you look into the show start time, as it clearly varies.

It hit me right after I posted the setlist that the song I thought was new was off We Are The Same.
