    Is playing an album top to bottom in a show really that cool? It certainly isn't risky or challenging.

    Isn't risky or challenging? Binaural live in sequence is the definition of risky and challenging.

    Yes it is both risky and challenging.

    It is risky because they risk disengaging a lot of the casual fan base with the rarer tracks and lesser known tracks that are in the albums. Especially with an album like Binaural. They almost certainly would have known before hand that a lot of people weren't going to be fully in to it. But they risked it and played it anyway.

    It is challenging because I would guess that the band doesn't play or rehearse every single song on every single album before a show. Just listen to Sleight of Hand and Soon Forget last night. You could tell that they really had to concentrate and focus to get through those as they are rarely played. It was definitely a challenge for them.

    Another fantastic Toronto show! The 2000 tour is one of my favorite runs so it was incredible to hear all those again! Parting Ways, Breakerfall and Insignificance were the highlights for me. Parting Ways was incredible...if it wasn't called Parting Ways I feel like it would be an incredible opener with the slow start & build-up.

    10C fans in our section were loving Binaural but the season ticket holders behind us were like "what the" it's 10 songs in and we've known 2 or 3 songs. But I feel like everyone in our area 10C & casual fans left feeling like they saw in incredible show. You had Binaural for the hardcore fans followed by a great mix of 'hits' to bring everyone back into it.

    Playing Binaural front to back was challenging for a good chunk of 18,000 people. Playing 10 or Vs wouldn't have been.

    Hopefully they play The Fixer tomorrow night because Binaural doesn't have any artistic integrity!

    If playing Binaural in full isn't risky and challenging, I don't know what is.

    Well, another boot i'm gonna have to get. I really thought they would save binaural for a small club gig with fan club members only...really ballsy to play it in front of a large audience most of whom have not clue, lol

    Hoping some of those casual fans were blown away and are checking out Binaural today.

    I decided last night that I'm not traveling for shows anymore. Will still see them in Michigan

    What's the point in spending long hours travelling when we don't hear Sirens at the show? I'm with you, bud!

    I'm still on a high just THINKING ABOUT BEING THERE. However, I can understand, now, the somewhat disengagement of some who aren't fans of the record. BUT, Binaural was only, honestly, one-third of the show. The other two thirds got the regulars and a couple of oddities and a guest guitarist. that's pretty amazing in my eyes.
