Would it be wrong to expect too much?
Hoping for the national anthem - acoustic

I'm going to the last 5 shows... This is the one show that I'm not going to, and if this is the one that gets Dark Canuck I'll be so heartbroken. That's why I go to so many shows, to try and see that song! lol

I have my fingers crossed for The Dark Canuck, I got to see Pigeon Camera a few weeks ago now all I need to hear is Dark Canuck and Emperor Penguin.

I'm wondering if the Massey shows are going to be seated or if people will be standing up and dancing?

[thebends]

Standing, and maybe dancing: 100% guaranteed. Except for the day after, when some of us will be Yawning and Snarling

Excellent...I'm taking a girlfriend to her first concert ever and she's a big hip fan. We're in front row centre gallary and I'd hate to feel rude when we're standing up and dancing. Always hard to say with Massey, every show I've seen there has been seated except Arcade Fire when half were standing, half were sitting.

Next questions...what time is the band going on each evening? Is there an opener? What time are they generally finishing up? I'm just needing to organize train arrangements for the evening...gotta make sure I don't miss the last one. I'm at the Sat/16 show, so hopefully someone will have this info posted before then.

I can't speak for anyone else. So if everybody else is sitting, you'll know me to be the guy on the floors (row 6) jumping up and down!

Really? It just says 8:00 on my ticket so I figured that was when doors open. A lot of people will probably show up right then. How do you know that they're on at 8? Are you comparing to how the other shows worked on this tour or do you have some information on it?

Every other show this tour, with maybe the exception of Philly, has had an 8:00 start time and has started rather close to that magical hour.

Thinking about taking the "live updates" to a new level - How about live video feed from my iphone? Did it for Springsteen the other night from the pit and got 4500 views in 3 hours?

I am sitting in row 1 in the centre for this show? Anyone want to tune in.. maybe the opener than one of the acoustic tunes would be a treat? Quality is not tremendous but with less than 10second delay in most cases.. it's quite interesting if your in europe and can watch Gord pump out Another Midnight acoustic... ok well that got your attention...

For other live updates how can I get some photos directly to this thread... is it possible from the show?
Or if someones around and wants to pull them off my twitter feed they could repost to here?

Hey you lucky people. Enjoy these Massey Hall shows. Hope the set lists are all you expect and better.

I'd tune in for sure.

Anyone stopping for a bite to eat near the venue this evening? I'm flying solo and will probably be able to get away for a couple of beers and some food before the show. I don't know exactly what's nearby, but I'm staying fairly close to Massey if anyone's going to be in the area.
