I always find it hard to find kickass Johnny pics... so MAv, thanks a bunch! I can't wait to see the rest! And the next time the boys play Scar, snap a bunch of Rob on the steel, those are always such sweet pics!

Yeah, that got a smile and giggle out of me at the Gorge as well. The chorus is also sort of ripped from a rant, which may or may not be tied to the Mercury one. "Fly/the coast line, we see thee rise/Fly/the great Canadian (something)". Memory's not really serving me at the moment, but I'm pretty sure it was on Last Night In Toronto, or the officially released Canada Day gig. Or both. I'll have to look into that tonight, because it's bugging me.

I know it's hard to make up a setlist. I see your point and agree with you........They do have balls as most bands pretty much stick to the same setlist day in day out for their tours and I think sometimes don't they ever get bored. But for the Crowes it was a little extreme. You have to think of the fans and play more hits than they did. They buy the CD's and pay for the tickets. Wish they did more like what the Hip did....THey did 3 new ones and if the BC did 5 or 6 that even have been OK since it was a 3 hour show but it was almost the whole show. There were even a couple covers I didn't know. Usually you know the covers. You would think you'd hear more hits the longer a show was. The shorter shows were packed with hits. I was at the very front of the stage so that was cool. At the end people chanted Remedy over and over and we never got it. Every time a song ended you hoped the next one you knew and it when you didn't it got more and more disappointing as the evening went on. You appreciate the musician ship of the new songs and the jams (I expected 2-3 but not 8!) but it was abit much. Other people were complaining too. They got a horrible review in Toronto because of it.

I was at the Crowes show in Toronto and quite frankly I walked out before the show was over. I was SOOO disappointed. I agree with you on that one. They haven't toured nor have I had the chance to see them live and all they did was play a bunch of tunz that were extended jams. BORING !! Setlists are important to get right. They are in fact the task of PROGRAMMING the evenings entertainment. Like a DJ in a club, you are responsible for keeping the crowd dancing or enjoying what they are hearing.. The CROWES failed to entertain or keep people interested on this tour in my opinion !! CHEERS !!
