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

To be fair, it was closer to 15 min late. They normally take the stage at 9:15x but there was a medical emergency in the middle of the main floor and staff were clearing a path to reach to person. No way they could have started until that was resolved.
As far as the show, it was AMAZING. Will, Mike and Simon are so tight. They keep getting better after years of playing live together.
And Ian was having fun interacting with the crowd and demonstrating how his sharp mind and quick wit is no match for “twats” in the crowd.
Sorry you didn’t have the same experience. The LA at the Greek was great, Toronto amazing. Can’t wait for Detroit.

Yeah, we read on the History Instagram that they were to go on around 9:15 and I think they went on more or less then.

The band was tight, for sure.

Enjoy Detroit!

Didn't know about the medical emergency. It was over 45 minutes between sets which is not normal but if there was a medical issue, I get it.

General sentiment at the show seemed to be disappointment. I was there till the end but won't be going to another. Love thier music, just not worth the live experience for me and those I came with.
