    Sitting here with a drink listening to Ocean at the End again. I am actually liking it. Must be the frame of mind I was in when I bought it. I can't believe Jeff Martin is hosting a trek across Morocco with him. See the country with him, and then he performs for you at night. Got an extra $8000 to spend? That would be an experience of a lifetime.

    Will check them out. Never heard!

    Listen to the original sister awake from the Edges of Twilight albumfor rawness and this is the live version more refined.

    Amazing band!

    OP- Saw them numerous times. Commodore Ballroom and some theatre in Winnipeg were standout shows.

    Years ago I saw I Mother Earth, Our Lady Peace and Tea Party play some outdoor festival by Calgary. Probably 95 or 96?? Anyways Tea Party came on right at dusk. Was a surreal show. Have loved outdoor shows ever since.
    Have seen Tea Party a few times since then, have never been disappointed. Glad that they are touring again.

    That would be the Walker Theatre (now known as the Burton Cummings Theatre-we just call it The Burt).

    The more I hear Water's On Fire off the new album the more I love it. I think its my wife's favorite song now haha.
    Lyrically it is a song of a tortured soul, but it is beautifully dark.

    The Edges of Twilight is being reissued - presales on for a Sept 25th release. It's remastered, so who knows if it will sound awesome. I also don't know how they're sourcing it.... I'm really hoping it sounds amazing!!!! But I`m going to wait until after the release and can read the reviews on it. I love this album, but only really want it if the quality of the remastering and pressing does it justice..... Or maybe I`ll get it in any case, lol. It is such a great album. And it`s $25 CAD from amazon, so that's nice.

    BTW, this band is fucking fantastic - I always felt like they were generally underappreciated (though I admit they went downhill after Alhambra.. but man, those first four albums are incredible!)

    So they are touring again in the spring - anyone going to a show? I've got tix for April 1st in Vancouver... I kind of feel like nobody is going to show up though, given the apparent lack of interest that I'm noticing!

    I've seen them about 15times.
    They're an incredible live band especially in smaller venues.
    The commodore ballroom and the Burton Cummings theatre in Winterpeg were the best places I saw them.
    Saw them in Victoria too.
    If they make it a little further east I would go in a heartbeat.
    They won't have any problems selling out they have a cult following.

    I've seen them 6 or 7 times the first being on the Transmission tour in Calgary at Mckewan Hall at the UofC.

    I have front rows to the show in Victoria
    and I'm happy that they are coming.
    Vancouver gets pricey with the ferry accommodations and everything else.So I probably would have passed if there wasn't a Victoria date.

    I was surprise as well and it's at the McPherson Playhouse.
    I've only been to one show there(Sam Roberts).
    Commodore would be much better though it always is.

    We did! It was awesome and the Bobcaygeon cover was  awesome very cool.
    Save Me is a great song but I wasn’t a big fan of that alternative version.  All in all it was a great show!
    where did you see them?  Martin said Calgary was the only sellout on the tour to that point

    I think you may have misheard him as they were posting about a decent number of sellouts. This is the most recent I could find.

    Very cool to see some other Tea Party fans around. Glad you enjoyed the show.

    Nope.  It was probably theatrical. He said “Calgary is the first sellout of the tour and knowing our history here that is certainly not Bizarre” then began playing the Bazar. Pandering to the crowd I suppose, but I can definitely hear ok from the 5th Row.

    The opening act was AWFUL.  I left the viewing area.  Some alt-country beard rock act.  Vocals were too high... just bad music.

    Jeff Martin is known for saying the exact same thing at every show. Especially when he's introducing a song like that. I don't know the criteria for a sellout, but he said Winnipeg was a sell out as well. it wasn't. not even close in my eyes. I've been to many shows on the floor at that venue, and there was significantly more room on the floor for TP than any of the other acts I've seen. And empty seats all over the place in the stands. 

    I have no idea why they chose the Proud Sons. They are a Winnipeg band I think, so I previewed some songs prior to the show, and it was a massive NOPE. Hate country. Hate anything that sounds remotely like country. Skipped it. Heard the last song or so, and it was brutal. They sounded really good musically, but I hated the music.

    Yeah that’s pretty much it. I’ve seen them a half dozen times or so and he usually has a schtick. Fair enough..  I didn’t really look around to see if it was a sellout or not.   Only commented because it supposed me a bit. 

    Couldnt agree more with your opinion of Proud Sons.  They suck.. period lol
