The crowd (at least up front) was amazing, I've never heard anyone yell so much at a show. After the band finished their encore, the crowd (not even lying) chanted OLP OLP OLP and screamed for over 10 minutes straight. But no 2nd encore, and I was disappointed in that as this was a very short show, and they even scrapped a song.

The musicianship was great, and Robin does a great job. I was very very excited to see Are You Sad played, it worked well acoustically (Raine talked about Chuvalo before the song, and then dedicated the song to him). And I may have even taken a video from the front row where the audio does not suck so bad I will upload tomorrow to Youtube....

....if.....

if I manage to find my car first. I stayed after the show and said hi to Trusty, apologized for being a jerk on the internet, and complimented the show (although he seemed to think they played an extra song, lol). He asked me not to be so mean, lol. I will try!

So overall it was a great show, and the band (especially Robin) reeaally looked like they were having fun. The best part was that the crowd size...was less than 200. No way it could have been more. Smallest show of any kind I've ever been to, but it made the energy feel huge.

Cool, I think this is only the 3rd time they've done Are You Sad acoustic. Wasn't really expecting that one to pop up. Happy to see that they decided they don't need to play Clumsy every night.

[ivewaited]

OH WOW!!!!

Can't wait to hear are you sad acoustic.. I'm so angry that I am not allowed in the Seattle show.

[xjsb125]

Is it 21+, or 18+?

[OLPManiac]

Well it seems that they tried Not Enough in a soundcheck http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5T4eAm2VvnE
I want to tell that also if this is only a soundcheck version it beats all the live performance of this song in 2009! And i notice also that Jer is not really happy to play this song!(well maybe is only the soundcheck effect).

On a side note i want to tell that on the tour section there isn't yet the setlist of Thunderbay Show...no one of the forum go to the show? The setlist is lacking also here http://www.setlist.fm/setlists/our-lady ... 6eeb3.html ....however i update the tour section with Thief, Innocent and Clumsy from this show! And also the other shows!

[RileyLewis]

Jeremy (in Regina) seemed unhappy through most of the show. He just stared gloomily into space. He picked up a bit during Heavyweight, and then during the encore, I think.

[RileyLewis]

Damnit, that soundcheck was in Regina! I would have totally gone if I would have known...(and had found a way in...)

[RileyLewis]

Here's Are You Sad live (with an intro where Raine talks about George)

They did Find Our Way right after, and I have to say that the extended intro (drums, guitar, bass, keyboard) to Find Our Way was my favourite part of the night. It's an amazing atmospheric musical piece, for those who haven't been to a show yet.

Your posting a lot of the same things in different threads. That isn't tour related even.

How is a live acoustic performance of Clumsy and Allowance not tour related?

[Maine Raida]

So, I went to the Calgary show last night and I've got to say, this was probably the best Our Lady Peace show I've ever been to. I had to go down to Calgary, because Edmonton sold out too fast. Anyhow, I'm sure there were more CMers there, and in fact I think the group up against the stage were. They wanted a setlist and I hope they got one from one of the techs. On the Clumsy/Spiritual Machines tour, I was able to walk on the stage after the second show and I got one. Everyone deserves a nice souvenir. I didn't write down the setlist, but we got a second encore with Starseed and 4 am. There were no tour debuts last night. Awesome show! Oh, and this was probably the best live vocal performance I've ever seen from Raine.

[faninor]

Wow, 2 songs in the 2nd encore? Must have been another 17/18 song show. And 4am in the 2nd encore means it wasn't part of the planned set.

[Maine Raida]

Yeah, the last five songs went as follows:

As Fast as You Can
Is Anybody Home?
Paper Moon
---------
Starseed
4 am (with the house lights on)

It was AWESOME! They played songs from every album except for Healthy in Paranoid Times, which I wasn't sad about, because I've seen A/L/S enough. Haha. The crowd really rocked though. I think the house deserved the second encore.

I got the setlist . My Friend Jalisa was one of the girls who managed to obtain one and she sent me a picture of it:

Allowance
Fire in the Henhouse
Innocent
OMA
Superman's Dead
All My Friends
Birdman
Thief
Find Our Way
Rabbits
In Repair
Clumsy
Heavy Weight
------------------
As Fast As You Can
Anybody Home
Paper Moon
----------- Plus you said they played

4AM
Starseed


Does that sound right?

[Maine Raida]

That looks right, save for 4 am and Starseed in the reverse order. Oddly enough, and this is not meant to be creepy, I noticed someone in the crowd communicating with you via Twitter, I think. You know when you glance casually around you and pick out small details? That was it: @breebug. I'm glad she got a setlist. There seemed to be a lot of big fans there in the front. I liked being able to sing, rock out, and take in the show without taking pictures or recording the setlist.

Tour section updated with a lot of videos from the last shows...

[RileyLewis]

Damn, another second encore show! I wish I understood why sometimes they'll pull out 18 songs for a mediocre-crowd and other times only do 15 for a great crowd. Maybe if there have been 2 or 3 shows in a row they are tired or something, I don't know.

I guess it's hard coming off of the An Evening With tour where you'd be seeing 25 or 26 songs per night to accept 15 or 16, haha.
