I saw Trapeze and Home and immediately got on the verge of freaking, then realized it made no sense since you said "first set" which is supposed to be just Clumsy.

Let down, but kind of expected that.

ENCORES

DREAMLAND
Starseed

Audience sucked big time. Seriously people behind me complained about me taking photos and taping show to usher, Are you serious? That is why there is no vid of DREAMLAND, If they do it to morrow will try to get it
anyway people in my aisle were a bunch of jerks. Kicking the seat and complaining about stupid stuff the whole show. They probably hated that Raine told audience to stand during second set. They stood with their hands folded whoel set. Sad really..

JOsh will give you his review now. Good night people

Well, all I got out of that review was the setlist. Way too hard to read... what is ANACIN, anyway?

Post by **faninor** » 5/22/2010, 1:58 am

DG

It was not review. Just a few highlights

The note at the end of STORY OF 100 AISLE

ANACIN is the last lyric of song and Raine held that note for a good couple of seconds. Listen to cd to hear what I am talking about

Gail said I'd give a review, but I'm super tired so let me put it shortly:

under my own name. YEah. Love above songs..

deleted original post. SHort version

when did it become illegal to take photos or get up and dance, sing or just rock out to a roc concert. Ok not all places allow photos but is certainly not illegal where you get sent to jail or do time for it. Some people in the audience complained to ushers about this. SERIOUSLY :wtf:

the people in the row behind me and next to me were the worst fans ever at a show. Plus a few other people told me that ushers told them to sit down cause people complained. I really hope SM night is not like this at all.. NO way in hell am I going to sit the whole freaking show.. :no:

DG · Post by DG » 5/22/2010, 7:43 pm

we heard thenm soundchecking. They did a few SM songs. Which was not surprising. It as the songs they did afterward. Josh joked that they were playing Rock Band or something. When we mentioned it to Duncan and Raine they said Steve is a walking Jukebox Hah

they did Radiohead-Creep
Alice IN Chains-Man In Box
STP-Interstate Love SOng
Vaseline

Creep sounded really good, so did Interstate, Man was so so,,,

What type of camera did you use to take your videos? Can't wait to see Everyone's a Junkie -- Steve really went wild during the bridge!

The Song titles for your links are reversed. I love when he hits that note at the end of Car Crash. It gives me goosebumps everytime. In Buffalo it felt like the theatre was shaking but it might have just been me. :love:

Don't worry, when he did it twice in Winnipeg, I almost fell over. :lol:

It was just a flip, don't remember which model exactly. I think I got some footage of you during Raine's in the crowd segment judging by your seats posted earlier :lol:

The SM stuff was recorded from the first row of the balcony so I'm not sure how it will come out. The sound was really bad to me up there, too many echoes in there.

Post by **faninor** » 5/25/2010, 2:41 pm

If you can get the original files to me some way, I have excellent quality audio of the whole show so I could sync up your video with my audio.

I'm getting married in a month so probably won't be able to work on editing until after the honeymoon, but I'd love to combine a video of the show with my audio if the picture quality is good.

The SM night there were so many people recording. Waiting to see those pop up somewhere. Ok so here is a review of shows. Now that i have some time.

Clumsy night was the best show I saw on this tour. I went to 6 of them. They were just so on that night. I got a few vids. Josh has them so hopefully he will be able to put something together for you guys..

Getting back to show. The Clumsy set sounded amazing.. Some highlights of that set.

Big Dumb Rocket just blew me away..
Raine holding on to the ending note in Story of 100 Aisles. Where he goes ANACIN. He held onto that lyric for a little longer. Got chills from it.
They dedicated Car Crash and the whole night performance of CLumsy set to Sol Fox..

The second set was even better. People sat throughout the set. From what I gather the first set audiences were sitting through while second set they got up. So hard to keep seated when you want to get up, but out of respect to others stayed seated till 2nd set. The audience around me was the nasty bunch of people I ever had to deal with. Complained and had sour pusses on their faces with arms folded when they has to stand. It is a ROCK CONCERT> That is what people do.

The second set surprisingly so actually had alot of songs from Burn Burn. Best version of Escape Artist done. First time I can remember Raine singing all of SOT, and A/L/S mixed with Naveed gave me chills. Dreamland made my night.. I love that song. I think one of the best songs Raine wrote. So uplifting and it always makes me smile.

We meet them going into the venue.. Got to talk to them for a few minutes so that was cool.

We went to have High Tea on Friday. . Afterwards we were looking around the hotel. There was a grandfather clock so I stopped to take a photo. I hear someone call my name and think to myself. Who the hell do I know that would be here? It was Duncan. LOL. They were staying in that hotel. Funny.. We spoke to him a bit and he showed us a photo of his kids. SO adorable. We walked back to venue..

2nd day we got to venue early. We heard some of the soundcheck from outside. They were doing a song off SM before doing Junkie. Then they started playing randome rock songs. First song was Radiohead's CREEP. Which sounded amazing .. Really they should do it in their show. They would of RH proud. Then they started doing AIC -Man In THe Box. Josh joked that maybe they were playing Rock Band cause we could not really understand why they be playing other people's song. Just having fun.. They did STP's Interstate Love SOng and Vaseline before coming out. We saw DUncan and Raine come out. We mentioned it to them. They told us just playing around on stage and Steve is a jukebox with stuff like that. LOL. after a few minutes they left. We saw Steve next and we said to him we hear you are a jukebox. He laughed. After afew minutes he got on the bus.. We grabbed a bit before heading back into venue.

The SM set to me sounded ok. Not great, not bad. It seem to lack something in a sense. The songs were good but after seeing the CLUMSY SET this one was the complete opposite. A few people were saying that it sounded like Raine's voice was giving out. He sounded the same to me as he did the night before.
Second part was better. The first 2-3 rows it seems like everyone there was either recording it or taking photos. This show did not sell out. Up untill about a week ago it was empty. They invited people to come down front. The whole first row( extreme right) and second row( where I was ) was empty. There were alot of empty seats so people moved down..

During IAH home Raine had to stop right before the chorus. The audience continued to sing. I think broke a string or something. After everything was fixed went back to singing song.. Probably best version of Naveed and Kids. BOth nights he came out to audience during AYD..

Overall it was a good closing.. I personally think they did a good job on this tour.. ON one hand sad to see it end. I really loved hearing the SM cd done live..

Forgot to say that AYS probably was the best version of that song I have heard ever..

OH yeah I asked Steve the question I put up on the 20 question thread. He told us he answered that one so they did get the questions and answered them..

A few photos from the shows

Probably my favorite photo

Post by **faninor** » 5/25/2010, 5:39 pm

Both shows were great I think.

The band seemed better rested and tighter the first night, but the crowd was better the second (or at least they were behind me and I didn't try standing so didn't deal with people tugging my coat sleeves and pushing my chair into my knees or having an usher ask me to sit down).

The second night there were also a few technical problems and I think I heard a wrong chord near the beginning of one of the SM songs (can't remember which). Second night I noticed Raine going off key a bit (no more than the average show though). I think why some people thought his voice was going out was actually distortion over the PA. Sounded to me just like someone turned the gain up too high on Raine's mic partway through the SM set...
