Just came back from the concert - it was great and all my favourites were there... Alice, Will I Dream, Still. LOVED those live. Marian rocked too

I recorded the whole damn thing, but not surprisingly the quality is absolutely awful. All it is good for is to discern which songs were played in what order:

Crash & Burn
Ribbons
Detonation Boulevard
Will I Dream
Flood I
Marian
Alice
Anaconda
Giving Ground
Suzanne
Dominion/Mother Russia
Summer
Still
FAAL
Romeo Down
Flood II

Something Fast
Vision Thing

Lucretia
Top Nite Out
Temple of Love

So no big surprises basicly. There was a rumour that someone heard them rehearse Possession... So maybe we will see it at one of the upcoming shows.

Thank you for the setlist! :notworthy:

Detonation Boulevard in a medley with Train again or was it Dr. Jeep?
Possession...aye; I would love to hear that again live.

I loved the Toronto crowd in 2006! You were great people and cool to

Any time frame for when The Sisters have been taking the stage? Or doing sound checks?

I cannot really remember if it was a medley with Train. In my recording it almost sounds like one, though you cannot really tell :lol:

I actually met Eva and her friend there too. I was impressed with their count of TSOM concerts - 108 and 106. :eek:

Greetings to If It Makes You Happy! Was good to meet you... :D

Show was on the same top level as Buffalo, our hotel wasn't though. Its slogan was "Comfort you can afford": We got a room without windows, no other light than TV, and the room was about 10 inches longer and wider than the bed.... Go figure....

Can't post a review about the show now, it's been too long, sorry.

Thank you very much for this, Euphoria. Marian was one of the best at the Toronto concert.

Dr. G. Thanks! I can certainly upload the file, it is about 80 mb. But it is really unlistenable.

The quality of these two is not so great though.

I read years ago that Andrew quit smoking and hates smokers now.

I had a great time at the Phoenix show. I was up at the front, dancing and it was terrific to see them so close and at such a small gig. I've been a fan for about 20 years and seen them everytime they've come here. I met Chis and Ben outside afterwards. They were really nice and happy to chat with the few of us stalking the bus for quite awhile. We got autographs, took some pics and chatted them up. It was pretty cool.

Apparently, Andrew flies out the door right after they play and races back to the hotel. So I guess I'll never meet him. But Chris and Ben were so cool and down to earth that it makes up for it.

My bf's flash didn't work, so our pics ended up black. Today Ben said "How typically goth". LOLOL. He's a sweetheart. We mailed back and forth on myspace a couple of times.

Another girl took a good pic of Chris and I and promised to email it to us. If you're reading, please please email the pic!!!

I do have a nice stage photo and a couple of short vids on my phone. I'll post what I have later.
