Just got back! Sean, where were you? I was under the impression you were not going. We were in the all-ages section, front row, right by Eric (keys). That was the eleventh time I've seen Sam, and it was easily the best show of them all. Were it not for the Hip, this guy would be the best live show in Canada, bar none. Opened with The Resistance, threw in a brand new song that will b on the War Child CD, song was called Magic on My Mind. Closed with a blistering Eileen. The jam that they do during Mind Flood is mesmerizing, seriously. I actually closed my eyes for a few seconds and I was taken to a different place.. Were it not so late and we didn't have a babysitter to get home to, I would've waited around to chat with the pint-sized dynamo, but alas, we are parents and responsibility beckons.
The venue, called the Cunard Centre, is a converted warehouse. It was cavernous, but the sound was unbelievable! There must have been easily a couple thousand people. Sean, I eagerly await your review.

Cheers!
