I live in Newfoundland, so I'll be flying in the day before. Meeting somewhere before sounds great.
Wow thats awesome! Okay we'll figure it out and let you know! Ill PM you details once we get our straightened out!
It's become a pretty regular thing at this point. Flew in for the Massey Hall shows on the ToT and Octavarium tours. I've seen DT 3 times outside of that as well in NYC and Montreal. I accepted at a young age that they were never coming near my home.
Yeah I suppose you don't have a choice. Didnt Metallica and U2 come down east?
Not that far. You basically can't get further east where I am. Very few bands comes through here, and they're not typically winners...to be honest, I can't blame them. I've been to a handful of shows since we had a notable (for St. John's) stadium open somewhere around 2000 and turnout is often bad. (Granted just as many sell out.) But in 2001 I saw the Barenaked Ladies play to a practically empty house.
Just under a year ago the student union of the only university lost $100,000+ (due to mere stupidity) on bringing Snoop Dogg here for a show.
It's rough times. Thats why I end up traveling to see so many shows. I started when I was 14 and it's been steady go ever since. (Last show for me was PT @ RCMH, where I basically saw most of the members of DT!)
So, the last few gigs in Toronto, they`ve covered a Rush tune (Camera Eye, Jacob`s Ladder and Passage to Bangkok). Think they`ll do one this time around? If they do, I`d love to see Cygnus X-1 - since they usually do an untraditional tune.
I could be wrong, but I feel like that was maybe a MP-driven effort. Would love to see more Ruah covers as per tradition of course.
