Anyone else taking in this gig? I ran into a guy on PokerStars who lives in Edmonton, and a huge fan, but not going. I found some connections to get some tickets - should be great!!! Too bad it isn't in a club though, would be nice to welcome the new drummer.  |

Man oh man, what a sweet show Danko put on tonight. It was the first time i've ever seen him, but boy did he ever own the stage. He was cocky, powerful, and showed that he's the future of Canadian rock n' roll, by far. |

A rundown of the show for the fans out there....
Danko Jones - 7pm - Dominated. I missed being right in front, but damn the music was tight. First date is a great tune... actual setlist, I don't have. Looked something like this...
Sticky Situation
Forget My Name
Bounce
Samuel Sin
Lovercall
First Date
Invisible
Mountain
I don't think I am forgetting one... The banter between songs was pretty damn funny, even JC was laughing.
It was great to meet the band again, and the new drummer. Killer set... can't wait until the return!!!
Live - 8pm - Simply... terrible. And gay. Literally. The bass guitarist was a terrible person to be in front of people. The music was overrated, the crowd was only cheering because it was "Live." They apparelty USED to be good. Their new songs sucked, and the only thing good about this was people laughing when I yelled out "Bring back Danko."
Nickelback - 9:20pm - You people can say what you want about Nickelback... damn, what a performance. When I was talking with Danko and JC, they both commented on how sweet of a show it is. And it was. The crowd was going nuts, they played with a lot of energy, and it was very entertaining. I was pleasantly surprised.
All in all, a great night. Thanks to the band for dominating the home of the Oilers!

Here's a piece from the Edmonton Sun, along with a link to the full article if you prefer... But before I get to that, let's talk about how Danko Jones's three-piece upstaged everyone. I can't say how refreshing it is to bear witness to a real rock star - Jones is the real deal, opening act or not. With a set of straight-ahead power chord rock, Jones ran through songs about kissing on the first date preceded by others about seeing you in hell. He had me laughing only because of my amazement at his presence. A hybrid of the Headstones' Hugh Dillon and a spastic storyteller with Gene Simmons's tongue , Jones made me believe, won the crowd over, and put that much more pressure on Live and Nickelback. .... If nothing else, for a merely passing talent, Nickelback is well-managed. The light show is a great distraction, and opening acts like the superb Danko Jones and Live, who played great sets without the benefit of parlor tricks, are another. Ultimately, Nickelback's lack of imagination played right into my narrow-mindedness about giving them the benefit of the doubt. In the future, Alberta, I implore you, set aside your misplaced patriotism and bestow your love on bands that really deserve it - Live and Danko Jones for a start. We're all people, after all. jam.canoe.ca/Music/Artists/N/Nickelback/ConcertReviews/2006/01/23/1407594-sun.html |

Do you have some problem with me, or are you just a big Live fan?
There has been much worse said on here before.

Ahhh this is the Danko Jones forum. I'm pretty sure he wants you to talk more about him and less about yourself  I'll let that go this one time!! |
