  • Calgary is one I was always fond of. 
  • So they're at Nugs, but not 10C?

    Vancouver was pretty awesome too.   The night after the Gorge show.    Still riding high that night :)

    I was not at any of these shows nor have I heard any of them.  Going off setlists alone, I'd go for:

    Halifax, Ottawa, London, Winnipeg, or Calgary

    Kitchener has maybe one of the best versions of indifference. at least being there live it was amazing.

    No one mentioned Hamilton yet? I went to the Kitchener-London-Hamilton run, and each of the first two nights had their moments for sure, but Hamilton felt like all roads led to it. Get a couple shows, or several, and make a compilation disc or two, that's what I did.

    The band was on absolute fire in 2005; you can't go wrong with any of the shows from that year.

    I went to Montreal and Ottawa in 2005. The Ottawa show is one of their most underrated shows IMO. ‘Wash’ was perfect opener with the rainy night outside. Band blew the roof off the place on that Friday night...great vibe from both the band and crowd.  Those 2005 shows were unreal. Great memories.

    Took a road trip up from the states for those 2 shows with a good friends, one has since passed away... 2005, and those 2 shows, will always be very special to me... and that version of Trouble from Montreal, so powerful, has taken new meaning for me since then

    RIP Jamie

    I was at Montreal and Ottawa, both were tremendous, but, Ottawa was killer front to back.
    Of the other shows, I really like Calgary.

    I caught a nice buzz in the parking lot at ottawa, turned out to be a very rainy day, when we went to the ticket window to grab 10C tix, I said to my brother - wow cool they are playing Ed's solo show from the Wiltern in here (2.26.02) - then as I slowly realized I was a touch out of my mind, it was just Ed solo uke doing soundcheck.  Such a great great show.  I really wish that I had been a tad greedier in my younger days and had pulled the trigger on a few more of these dates.  Such a great tour.

    There were pretty much the same group of 10C fans in the section at both shows I went to, in retrospect other than some brief banter I regret not getting to know some of those folks better.  To the dude who got caught in the rain in Ottawa, and had to borrow some girls t-shirt and shorts, your line exiting the floor after the Ottawa show has lived in infamy for me and my brother -  "Anyone for some 1970s tennis, anyone for some 1970s tennis..."
