Anyone planning on posting a "live" set list? I can take text messages and post to this topic if it makes it easier.
PM me if this works.

Great venue,great band,great show--- When is Gord going to be officially recognized as the greatest frontman working today???The fact he has another show tonight after a 7 hour bus trip is simply amazing to me after what I saw last night.My music at work and his journey into the crowd as the closer was a highlight never to be forgotten. I saw them at this venue 15 years ago and I will say it again-I could not imagine a better place to see this band perform--small, intimate,good sound ,great sight lines,room to dance etc etc. Saw them at a small club in Albany 2 years ago and it was a horrible experience---drunk 22 yr olds every where,hot,flags and posters ruining the view,terrible sound,band was off etc.Thugs was incredible last night and I could not believe how good View and Ocean sounded live and how much the crowd got into them.My only fault with this band after seeing them now 4 times over the last couple of years is there flow, or lack of flow of how some songs are chosen. Love is a First IS AN OPENER , Desperation Suite isnt!! Better suited for opening act 2. After acustic set they get the crowd going with RINK ,then bring everybody down with BOB,which in my opinion could slowly be moved out of rotation and no one would care.Then to close the show with OCEAN,GRACE and WORK-only to come back out with FROZEN IN MY TRACKS was just wrong-the place which was in a frenzy ,simply got quiet. Locked,Pistols,Bones , Fully ,would have been great there and unfortunetly for me were not played last night.

I too thought it was a great show, and a great venue for them. Did anyone else notice that the sound got really loud during the second set. Maybe it was just me, but it seemed like the guitar got turned up or the lead mike got turned down. Much more difficult to hear the lyrics--and Gord's monologues--in the second act. Or maybe I'm just going deaf.

Not sure what to make of the handkerchief hijinks...channeling Elvis at a few points last night. But that's what you go for, right?
