Have to agree with the Star Pheonix review, and others...it was a great show. Definitely a greatest hits type set with no real surprises, but no complaints from me...I'd have loved a few rarities, but the band delivered what the majority of the crowd was there for. As mentioned, Fiddlers Green was an audience request, and Gord made specific mention about our right to freedom of expression...never did see what the sign said, but it worked, as that was one of the great moments.
Pretty cool to see a couple of 8 or 9 year olds on their parents shoulders lovin the show, and Gord took notice of them as well. Gord was animated and interactive and really enjoying himself...pretty agile with the soccer style pick-ups of the white hankies, and the microphone as well. The rest of the band was totally on as well, and I really noticed that the background vocals were dead on...Grace Too, ABAC,etc, just had the prefect feel in the vocals.
Only 5 songs from the new album and that was about right...LAst Recluse and Coffee Girl are my favorites from the album...Depression Suite really perks up in a live setting...and Love Is a First rocked the place, Johnny was kickin ass on that tune.
We were about 20 rows back on the floor and the sound was really good...some friends started out in the grandstand and said the sound was terrible, so they moved down on to the ground.
Well behaved crowd...a few drunks and a little jostling but nothing got out of hand.
Thanks to MArk at the sound board for the copy of the setlist!!!
Thats all I can think of for now...cheers!
