I took carpe diem to extremes this week - had to fly to Raleigh,NC for work on Tuesday, and after two days of meetings, I flew back to Toronto on the 04:35 flight. Got in at 06:30pm, did customs and immigration as quick as possible, and went straight to the Danforth Music Hall. I arrived at 07:40, just in time to check in my bag at the venue and watch Meanstreak. As mentioned here in the thread, James was in the audience, and Chance Labrie was next to him. Chance went backstage to watch JP, MP and Dave LaRue. JP's set was incredible, and it was really exciting and refreshing to see him and MP exchanging looks and interacting during the set. It was way more spontaneous than the current DT show, if I'm being honest.
Richard Chycki was also in the audience with his wife, and I didn't want to bother him, although he seemed very sociable. I took the picture below with James between the sets of Meanstreak and JP, and mentioned our interview of a few months ago.
I also waited outside for the band after the show to see if I could chat with JP and MP, but only Dave stopped. He said he'll do a few dates next year with the Steve Morse Band, and that there could be more Flying Colors stuff between now and Cruise to the Edge in 2024.
