i saw on two feet thick it says "the show was not even sold out, about five sections were curtained off". i find this a little hard to believe. for anyone who was there, know anything about it? seems a little wierd every other city was packed and this ONE was not. problem with arena or something?

    I think it was a Tuesday for 1, plus they did 4 shows in southern Ontario, and Toronto always seems to draw the large crowd. Even though it wasn't sold out it was quite a loud show. People say Kitchener was loud, but from where I was both of those night it seemed Hamilton was louder.

    What a great show - "let's have a toast!"

    i was there... imo, best show of the canada 05 tour... but yes, it was not sold out... but still an amazing evening... tonnes of energy, and to listen to it and hear the fans, you wouldn't know it wasn't sold out.
    i only own my mind- i am mine.

    Misleading. Only the very top nose bleed sections behind the stage were shut off. probably about 17-18 000 people there.
    This sidewalk is for regular walking, not for fancy walking!

    they usually curtain off a whole section one side of the floors

    it was an amazing show

    the preparty sucked though (ha)

    as far as i remember, the show was definitely sold out, when i returned home from europe in july 05, no remaining tickets were available through ticketmaster and i had to purchase tickets on ebay

    i just randomly strolled on the setlists of the canadian shows in 05, and DAMN!! they are killer! must have been amazing shows. this makes me really excited too, because they weren't promoting an album, so they whipped out lots of rareties. thats what we want this year! i mean they even played black, red, yellow twice! i missed that one. i heard most of the rarety revivals in 05, but didn't catch that. good shit.

    Just listened to that boot this weekend The guys had done 6 shows in 7 days and during the beginning of the show Ed said he wanted to make sure that we were as tired as they were!

    The guys in tuxes doin Harvest Moon....one of my faves from that show.
