Thanks man, the show's going to be incredible! With everyone in town going tonight it would be an excellent night to be a robber.

Yup. Looks like all they did was switch around Blow and Grace and throw in Fireworks. Does Gord Sinclair still write the setlist every night? Because he used to be great at mixing it up from night to night. Now it seems he's just being lazy. That or perhaps they only rehearsed a tiny portion of their catalogue for this tour...which is pretty sad if that's the case. Makes me glad I didn't spend the money on multiple shows this summer. That being said, I can't wait to hear some decent quality versions of the new songs! Certainly these tunes will pop up on Youtube after a couple more shows.

I purposely tried not to look too closely at the Peterburough set list because I had a bad feeling this might be the way this tour would go once I saw the greatest hits style set list from the first night.

Quick thoughts: The band sounded good, but it was lacking for me when I recognized the similarities to the last show. The crowd was super annoying in my opinion, and were throwing glow sticks all night for some reason. The new songs: I liked Drip, Drip....not crazy on the other two just yet,
