We may have an early candidate for show of the tour here, despite Fireworks.

Unless of course the encore is the stellar double shot of Puttin' Down and Poets...

Cheers,

Well, I don't mind either Poets or Puttin' Down, but yeah in an encore, no. But yes, so far, setlist of the year for sure. Rules, Terrarium and Opiated....

Man.

Opiated, Titanic, Escape, Lake Fever, and Save the Planet all in the same show.....holy shitballs! I think I had a small orgasm just reading that setlist.

Totally random comment that has nothing to do with tonight's show. Got a TM from my son who is completing an third year exchange from Queen's in Denmark. He was touring in Prague today and reports that as he was walking past an outdoor bar the guitar player was playing Wheat Kings. He did not expect to hear the Hip at a random bar in Europe.

Totally agree that this is a strong setlist to finish out Toronto.

Hey why not play Sherpa and The Completists for the encore just to rub salt in the gunshot wounds....Nice to see Music At Work in the set, though. I thought maybe they had forgotten about that nugget.

I was this close to getting a last minute ticket to this. Going to see Angels and Demon's was a poor choice. Can't wait to hear this recording.
