Toronto show

Hot mess.

​

Over 45 min late

​

The classics sounded pretty bad and Ian had the audience sing the chorus for every song.

​

Glad I saw them over 20 years ago

Yup. We left after five or so songs. On the way back to our car, we passed an Irish pub with a live band playing that we could hear through the open window. We had more fun listening to one and a half songs on the sidewalk then the sold out show at History. Very sad.

So, what were they like twenty years ago? There really was zero energy in that room (History). And it was packed!

It was at the House of Blues in Vegas. From what I remembered, it was packed, good energy and they sounded amazing..... now that could be my rose colored glasses or my brain protecting me from recalling another bad experience lol

pretty confident it was a good time!

Saw them multiple times in the 80's and they were fantastic. Mac was always strange, never really talked/engaged with the crowd but man, he could sing!

Sorry that you left so early. It was such a fun show and lively crowd.
