Jaimoe Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 I The Soundtrack Of Our Lives open for Robert Plant that night, but their real gig is at the Horseshoe later that night - few bands really shine as an opening act, although Stevie Ray kicked Plant's ass in the 80's.Anyway, I'm inviting people over for a pre-party on Wednesday night. Say, 7-ish: Scott " Cowboy " I'm looking your way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

questcequecest? Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 i'm thinking about checking this show with fairysari. gotta work in the morning, but.. whatever. whats the story on tickets.. available? required? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted July 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 You should buy tickets before the show. I recommend getting them tomorrow at the 'Shoe, or at Rotate This or Soundscapes. TSOOL have sold out The Horseshoe every time they've played there in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimmyB Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 (edited) Hey Jaimoe,I'll be seeing TSOOL open for Robert Plant Wednesday night.If they blow my mind and I can convince Rachael to go to the Horseshow and it's not sold out I'll see you after Plant.BTW the Who's Tommy exibit at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was quite good.

Jaimoe Posted July 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 Hey Timmy,Rarely do opening bands blow minds, but if they only impress you on Wednesday, then prepare for some mind blowing at the Horseshoe gig. They've twice handed me my ass in small venues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 (edited) The Molson Amp is too big for TSOOL.Think about it.Horseshoe?Molson Amp?The math is pretty simple. Yeah, this is the definition of 'redundant'. Its time for me to go to bed. Edited July 5, 2005 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted July 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 That's what I was implying too Booche. However, I've read new reviews of TSOOL opening for Plant at large venues in the States and they have been generally positive. But... when TSOOL headlines in smaller venues, the magic and the balls out rock & roll cannot be ignored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmyB Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 I understand what both of you are saying, it's just that I have to convince my girlfriend to go to the Horseshoe after the Amphtitheatre gig. This might be difficult to do since we're seeing TSOOL opening for Plant, if Rachael (and I) isn't really impressed, the likelihood of seeing them twice in one night is slim.

Freak By Night Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 Enjoy your TSOOL show T.O. people. Believe me, if I was independantly wealthy I'd be down there in a New York minute for both shows.Robert Plant is playing here in Ottawa Sept. 10th, and it doesn't look like TSOOL will be in tow.

Jaimoe Posted July 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 Who ever makes it there, I'll be the dude in the MC5 t-shirt. The pre-party at my place still stands, even though POG will be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimoe Posted July 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 I'll be there closer to 10.I don't like The Chickens and 9 is too early, especially with some HDTV Jays action going on in a few minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted July 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 I'll write a proper review in the very near future, but for now this will do:I loved tonight's concert. It was everything I didn't anticipate it would be: psychedelic and not relying on the hits - relying on interesting album cuts.Of course TSOOL delivered a few trademark crowd-pleasing anthems, but in general, this night was as Syd Barrett-influenced as they come... and bless them for that. I wasn't at the Plant show, but I'll hypothesize that TSOOL's opening set may have leaned towards the anthemic.I urge anyone who loves Floyd or balls-out rock to check this band out. They may not be part of the jam scene yet, but they should and will be soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't at the Plant show, but I'll hypothesize that TSOOL's opening set may have leaned towards the anthemic.I saw TSOOL for the first time opening for Robert Plant yesterday. I thought they were fantastic, a band that epitomized a rock and roll that is not often seen anymore. With a lot of the stereotypical guitar stances often looking like Pete Townshend jumping up in the air with his feet behind him and the guitar straight in the air or with his legs apart and arm in the air ready to do the windmill, but they didn't do the windmill.Also I thought it was hilarious that the drummer was in a referees uniform, was he in the same clothes at the Horseshoe?I wished that after the Plant show I could have gone to the Horseshoe to see this band perform a full show proper, but unfortunately there were three others in my car that made that impossible for me to accomplish. Their opening set was far too short running only 36 minutes, this was especially bothersome when Plant performed his set at 10:33PM, 27 minutes before curfew, which TSOOL could have used to perform a few more songs.Here is what the TSOOL performed at the Molson Amphitheatre. I hope that this helps Jaimoe determine whether or not they leaned towards the anthemic at the Amphitheatre.TSOOLThe Molson AmphitheatreWednesday July 6, 2005Start time 7:32PM1. Broken Imaginary Time2. Infra Riot3. Instant Repeater 994. Big Time5. Heading For a Breakdown6. Sister SurroundEnd time 8:08PM (Total time 36 minutes)Hey Jaimore,Looking at the CD Singles for TSOOL for Sweden, the United Kingdom and Europe, it looks like the Molson Amphitheatre opening set got three of their singles "Sister Surround," "Big Time" and "Heading For a Breakdown."Did they perform those three other songs at the Horseshoe?Actually I thought it was funny that you stated that they were "not relying on their hits" as even though they have CD Single releases in Europe, do they actually have hits?

Booche Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Big Time is a big time tune.........I love that song.It is wise not to be driving on the 401 with it blasting through your speakers. Speeding tickets will soon arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speeding tickets will soon arrive.Did that actually happen to you Booche? If so that's too bad.I too enjoy the song "Big Time" by TSOOL.Actually it seems that I enjoy every song title "Big Time" that I know. First their was the classic "Big Time" by Peter Gabriel off his 'So' album, it also had a great video that was a lot like "Sledgehammer." Then there is the Neil Young & Crazy Horse "Big Time" off of 'Broken Arrow.' Which has one of my favorite choruses in a Neil Young songTalkin' bout a friend of mineTalkin' bout a gold mineRichest vein in any mountainTalkin' bout the enemyInside of meTalkin' bout that youthful fountainTalkin' bout you and meTalkin' bout eternityTalkin' bout the big timeI loved how everytime I saw Young do the song live he would point to the sky after the last line of that chorus.Now there is TSOOL song titled "Big Time." Does anybody else know any other artists that have a song titled "Big Time?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no idea about Rick James thanks.I think I'm going to make a compilation album of songs entitled "Big Time."Anyone else with that song title out there?

bONES Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Also I thought it was hilarious that the drummer was in a referees uniform, was he in the same clothes at the Horseshoe? yup. wore it last time they were here too. the show was great! they hooked me in during Keep the Line Moving and it just got better after seeing what they played at the Amphitheatre it's no wonder i didn't get to hear Instant Repeater 99..they did however play Sister Surround, Big Time & Breakkdown it was good hangin' with Sari & QQC @ the show my ears are still ringing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Big Time is a glorious rock 'n roll anthem. TSOOL are an amazingly fun live band that is barely scratching at the surface of what they can accomplish. Things will only get better for them.
