Hey Folks,

Another great show last night. Three down, one to go! I am a bit sad but I think I am ready to get back in to my regular routine (going to bed at 9:30pm!!!!)

I have uploaded my photos from last nights gig. They can be found at:

Please enjoy and I will see you all tonight!

Cheers!
Trevor

This photo gives a stalker vibe. I suggest at an upcoming concert, one of the camera angles is constantly MAv. That would be the ultimate tribute! The ultimate, creepiest tribute.

Wow!! So Hard Done by, Yawning, LTR and Save the Planet all in one show! reading these reviews is getting me pumped for the two shows I'm seeing in Calgary on Monday and Wed. Wish I was able to get to all 4 but I'm stuck in Sask. until Monday morning. :(

:lol: :lol: I think Gord said he didnt die from west nile it was soul sucking boredom. Another thing I think is worth mentioning is how intense Johnny's drumming was last night. I've never seen him go that hard before. His face looked like he was in intense physical pain the entire time just giving it everything he had. Especially some of the parts during Tiger the Lion, So Hard Done By at the end, and Yawning or Snarling. It was aweosme to see, it looked like he was trying to break his drum kit. And as always his drumming really stood out on all the new songs, nice to see his abilities coming to the forefront on this album.

p.s. great pictures Trevor
