first off i'll admit to be hard core...ive seriously lost track of the number of times i've seen this great band...my guess prolly over 35...anyways that doesn't make my opinion any more valid than a newcomer
toronto was my only ticket on this leg and i was at the show with someone who bought(and loved) the new cd and was a first timer. i'm really glad for that person that the show was hit heavy. i personally would have loved if they played every track off world container, but alas...
i think lonley end of the rink is a great opener followed by new orleans was on the money. i never tire of the old hits. never. anyways the band came out firing on all cylinders and bobcaygeon was totally necessary, for obvious reasons.
fiddlers green and long time running i don't understand how anyone can not just love the fact that they showed up in the setlist in toronto. especially fiddlers green. i dont think long time running will every get better than that bellville version but i go to a show not expecting everything to be topped. it's an impossible task to keep expecting everything. i go into the building hoping for a good show and i always end up with a great show...but alas thats just me being me
i absolutely love the new cd so the kids dont get it and family band were special peaks for me. diamond dogs and the fact that the band is doing some choice covers works for me...though i'm also a bowie fan
finally fire in the hole is the one song i always hope they play. i don't get it at every show yet somehow when they do play it, it brings my thoughts on the show up a notch. one of the best songs ever
overall 9/10
i still don't like the tiering of ticket prices for this tour and was forced to the upper rows because of it and i also still don't like the fact that there is no longer a THC, but rather just a ticketmaster presale, which amounts to nothing, imho. but the bottomline is we are still dealing with one of the best live rock acts to ever come from canada. they have so many great songs and are still current after all of these years. truely the journey has been nothing short of absolutely incredible
