New date - Aug 28th Sudbury, Ontario
It was pretty much the same as usual. They played both Starseed and Naveed, and from the new album: Monkey Brains, Paper Moon (during which a guy threw a demo at Raine's head and was promptly tackled to the ground by at least 8 security guards), The End Is Where We Begin and All You Did Was Save My Life. They didn't play Denied or Escape Artist and Raine didn't risk his life by climbing onto anything

What a dumb ass! He could have waited by the bus and talked to Raine. Throwing something at his head... not smart. I'm guessing if there hadn't been security other people would have tackled him!

They didn't play Escape Artist? Hmmm...
“Music doesn’t have the power to change the world. What music does is it changes people, & that changes the world, so to say that music doesn’t change people anymore is just ridiculous. It does everyday. It doesn’t have to be on a political or social level. You could be feeling shitty & it makes you happy & if that’s all it does, it’s changing the world. It’s making it a better place.” ~ Raine Maida




Well, the disc didn't actually hit him. It flew past his head and slid under the drum kit platform. Raine seemed very preoccupied by the incident (I don't think he knew what exactly had nearly hit him) and stopped singing for a few lines in order to signal the sound check guy to go and retrieve the object.
Now, that first time, the idiot got away.... and then he came back during Clumsy to throw several more demos and that was when security got him (this huge security team just jumped into the crowd and brought the guy down!).
Security intervened five times during their set and each time you could see Raine's eyes follow what was happening.
They didn't sign or pose for pictures and security wasn't allowing people to wait by the bus. If you were anywhere near the tour bus, you HAD to be moving!
