Where do I begin...it was firggen hot and Loud in the Horseshoe last night. Danko it the stage at 230amish and played for about an Hour and 15 mins. Huge ovation and the place was packed. Grady from old Big Sugar days was there and I thin I saw some members from Billy Talent therer and plus some other band members and industry types
Danko busted right into Alive and on Fire....which was a huge surprise and the crowd ate up every part of it. I can't recall all of the songs but it'll give it a shot (In no particular order) . A lot of song off SITE were played. Incuding Sticky Situation, Baby Hates me (I think, not too sure though), Don't Fall in Love (Which was a surprise and sounded better live than it does on the Cd), She Drugs, The Finger, First Date, Invisible and Sleep is the Enemy. Other song choices were Way to My heart, Word is Bond, Forget My Name (I think) (I'm sorry I got home at 5 am and I'm still recovering) The Cross, Sugar Chocolate (Danko - "This is a song about race mixing")and Lovercall
That's all I can remember now but if someone has the setlist it would be great to see. They played a few songs that I didn't recognize that could either be B-sides or off off I'm Alive and On Fire and I would love to figure out what they were.
The surprise of the night was the fact that Cadillac was not payed and also Danko and Co closed with Love is Unkind rather than Bring on the Mountain. Love is Unkind was HUGE, the crowd loved it and JC layed down a great bass line. It was phenomenal. I know there was two guys video taping the set and if it makes it to the web all must watch that closing song....simply intense.
The guys seemed to have a great time up on stage and stage banter was great. Danko caught a guy yawning in the crowd and was quick to point out to the guy that "there is no yawning at a Danko Show."
Also noticed that there was no cowbell on Dan's kit last night.....I must say....bring back the cowbell...I got a fever........and the only perscription is more cowbell.
That's all I got for now, great pics Parkdale, I hope to get my buddies pics from last night and post them soon, I'll have to figure it out though.
Hell of a performance. Probably the best set I have seen yet, a great mix old and new.
Also, the bands Wintersleep and Sylvie had great sets and was very impressed.
I'm off too curl up in a ball and to rock back and fourth hoping my ears stop ringing soon....
I'll try to get the pics up.
Stay Classy,
