Jaimoe Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 The show met my expectations, and I expected a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groove Fetish Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 It’s always nice to experience a show there where the artist has a lot of reverence for the room. Massey Hall has so much great music history and what a room- always such an intimate show. Good to see the Bouchard- Williamson team- looking good guys.Looking forward to hanging with you folks again next weekend in Rochacha and Syracuse.

Freak By Night Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Yes, 'twas an awesome show!I wouldn't recommend sitting in the upper gallery if you're taller than 5-foot-5. The legroom is non-existent! People must have been a lot shorter in 1894. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal Johnson Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Sy-ca-mo-o-o-o-o-re, Syc-a-mo-o-o-o-re[color:purple]Wow, that opening act sure was exciting My lord. Was it just me, or was every song about his mother, his sisters, or his mother and his sisters? Swell Season was amazing. The movie itself didnt leave much of an impression on me, I mean i liked it, but it didnt really leave me wanting more. I only got the tickets because the misses absolutely adored it, but after seeing them last night, I'm glad I did. It was extremely refreshing to see performers of that calliber be so humble like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Funk Dawg Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 I loved the story about Deifer - hilarious & humble - the banter between songs was as interesting as the songs.That violinist was also incredible - man what a night - me and the girlfriend are still singing and talking about the songs and the show.

Jaimoe Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 I'm all over a real Frames concert when they tour Canada again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms.Huxtable Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Yeah, I am equally in awe. A great show. There are not many voices out there that meet the caliber of Glen's. He hits the low end, high end and everything in between with such strength and passion. It truly melts the bones.Highlight of the night for me was his unplugged, sans-microphone busker moment. Incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybone Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Loved it! Thanks to Basher for scoring us incredible seats! That was a treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted September 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Glen took over massey hall. He commanded respect with his performance, yet he was so humble. I don't think I've seen such an appreciative crowd in all my life. How many standing ovations did he/they get? Three I think.I had many chills throughout the night. He and Marketa were LOCKED in with their harmonies like you wouldn't believe. Not just the precision of the frequency and wavelength, but the period, amplitude, intensity, speed and even direction was precise.They seem to know their physics. It was a great show and worth every mile.Tasha and Pete, sorry we didn't see y'all for more than a few minutes before the show started. We won't be at Ryan Adams, unfortunately, we're off to Quebec City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted September 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 When Your Mind's Made UpThis is one fine example of what made this a great show that I am so glad to have been at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanada Kev Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 (not pics from Massey Hall ) Wow! What a show. It really is hard to put into words, and a lot has been said here already that I completely agree with. Glen Hansard's words from the stage seemed completely genuine and heart-felt. He mentioned that he was truly honoured to play Massey Hall and thought that it sounded fantastic. Being a Neil Young fan, he said it was very important to him. When he did his "busker" moment by playing completely unplugged at the front of the stage sent shivers up my spine. The guy's voice is so powerful. The crowd was completely well-behaved. At a show like this where the quiet gets really quiet it was great having everyone shutthefuckup They were listening. I am bummed that I missed the show last year at the Danforth. I won't be missing these guys again (or The Frames for that matter). Great meeting up with all the skanks preshow at the Library. Always nice to put some more faces to names, and names to nicknames. Look forward to partying with you all again sometime soon. Sorry we didn't meet up after the show. We got stuck in the long bathroom lineups and then had to go grab the kids and head home. Thanks for a great evening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted September 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 i saved my piss for the burger king up the street. I had a feeling the aftershow lineup would have been ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal Johnson Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Eeeeewwwwww, you went in the burger king up the street? Eeeewwwwwww. But that place is dirty. Ya, I was hoping to meet up with some of you guys too, but it's kinda awkward when you dont know who your looking for. I though I saw Jaimoe, judging from his avatar, but I wasnt nearly drunk enough to pinch the wrong guys nipples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
