Way better crowd than last night. That being said, it is physically impossible for this band to dissapoint.

[restlesssoul]

after four shows in 8 days........I.........STILL FEEL THE SAME! AMAZING!


love these guys...gonna take a break until the 8th of aug now....

they gave vancouver a great three show set variation i must say... would love to see some stats from this 3 night stand, if you have the time... (please)?


drop off, dire wolf, tiger the lion, scared, and music @ work acoustic was great, it seems like a challenge for Gord to not get up during that one and rock out...

anyways...didnt get a setlist tonight was up in the first row of the dress circle, brought a sign and tape it to the overhang that said "THANK YOU!! BLUES ALWAYS!" (what Gord signed on the hankie from seattle.) drunk, eating sushi...thats what i remember for now...peace! enjoy the rest of the tour! see you abbotsford, possibly penticton!

What an idiot. I was there!

[restlesssoul]

i must say that i enjoy Depression Suite mid-set far better than opening slot.

Man, it's looking more and more like Queen of the Furrows has dropped out of the rotation. Same with Country Day and Speed River, but Queen is the bigger tragedy.

[hossaepi]

is it just me, or are they not rotating enough of the really old stuff in? i mean they rocked opiated in toronto, and here the furthest they went back was with Blow and NOIS....playing Thugs night 1 was awesome tho...

it was good times and all, but i think i need a yer favourites tour...

[tfoe]

....playing Thugs night 1 was awesome tho......

Yes...I can't recall ever hearing it live before that. However, a few of the shows have a couple of blank spots!!

[pprusha]

It's cool they played The Rules and Dire Wolf, I've never heard Rules live before.

I agree to the statement made about not seeing Queen of the Furrows much in the rotation. Such a great song.

[dannya2]

anyone notice RB was wearing an paramedic shirt, in support of the strike i would suppose.

also i think i saw bob rock on the side of the stage (left), dude looks like mickey rourke in the wrestler with that long blond hair.

[Marcus1970]

Looks like the boys have found a comfortable spot for "Struggle" in the setlist.

It seemed for a while they were bouncing it all around but for the last 5-6 shows it has consistently shown up in the #21 position of the setlist. Just an observation.

They played Queen of the Furrows in San Francisco two weeks ago. But you're right, it doesn't seem to be making the rounds as much as other songs from WATS. That's a shame. That tune absolutely KILLS in concert. And Country Day is easily one of the better songs from the new record. It's weird that they hardly ever play it.
