I was dreading reading this thread because I ended up having to miss the show and I didn't want to read about this being the best show ever! So, it sucks to have missed it, but I'm glad I didn't "miss" a whole lot.

Great show!
I was impressed with the live performance of the View. Those of us with xylophone and key phobias won't be dissappointed with the strings version!
As mentioned by others the sound was battling gusty winds and large crowds. I was left of the sound board. Stage middle may have proved better? I've listened to similar sound waves at other TH outdoor concerts. Walkerton had similar sound issues.
Regardless I enjoyed the setlist entirely. Nice to hear ABAC and FITH!
ANd still waiting for Are We Family ...

Honestly, I've never seen Gord give such an energetic performance ever. He was frickin fanstastic, and the electric version of In View kicked ass. Paul and Rob also as energetic as I've ever seen them. Gord really was pushing his high range at first, but like the show in general it only got better. Lots of funny ad libs. Just a great fricking show.

After reading most of these reviews I'm surprised that so many of you thought it was great. Mind You I have, no bragging here folks, seen them a ton. But I felt that It was an off night for them. The sound was bad, they played alot of singles instead of mixing it up, and I really felt that the band was under rehearsed. Fire in the hole was bad, but there were other moments where I scratched my head. I just feel like they were'nt at the top of their game, and who can blame them, they had'nt played in two months. Definetly one of the worst shows I've seen. Cold wet farmers field did'nt help either. Lets hope the Mod Club is a little better... :wink:
In view was better live, but did'nt hold much wait against the other tunes, new and old. Ah, its off my chest now. I hate writing anything even semi negative about the hip but I decided I had to be honest. Oct 17, 1 month from today....guess that would be...September 17...for a boy I know its..Ok you get it. Peace.

I haven't looked at all setlists from spring and summer shows but isn't Stratford the ONLY show with an encore?
