I WAS a bit slow yesterday! I will say in my own (limited) defense that I used to be better at song titles and focus more before the Internet brought the endless stream ‘o’ music into my life.

i have to say that once again the Opera House proved to be the most irritating venue in Toronto. So much so that I vowed that night to never go to another show there. The National looked like they were playing an amazing show but the muffled sound and low levels on vocals didn’t let it shine through completely. I also moved around to find a good acoustic spot but it was lousy everywhere I stood. Add to it an always packed house with more than a few loud talking assholes and it was a major drag.

Having said all this I would love to see them in a different venue and LOVE Boxer and of course the back catalogue.

I agree with Alex… Shapes and Sizes were just messy. It sounded like a rehersal, unfortunately. I just wasn’t feeling it, and neither was anyone around me judging by the talking!

The sound where I was standing sounded amazing… we actually commented amongst our group afterwards that the guitars sounded fantastic… his lyrics were all very clear as well. We were standing front and center on the balcony. Great view of everything, and apparently, it was a good choice for audio as well. Loved Apartment Story.

Man, Bonnaroo can’t come quick enough. I can’t wait to see these guys play. Unfortunately, they play the first night, and they’re the band I’m most excited about. It’s all a drunken downhill weekend after that.

Slow Show is my favourite song off their new album and the tuesday night was amazing! such good fun, and for once the Toronto crowd was actually moving. A definate indicator you are fantastic in this town.

Such a great show – and yet so many poorly titled reviews. But I’ll stop commenting on that, since I already sounded like a jackass for taking offence with the "Great White Hope" title of the Torontoist review!

Great shots, as always, and thanks for letting me know about this band, Frank. Between Okkervil River, Shearwater and The National, you are now 3 for 3 with your recommendations…

Great review. Thought the sound was bad because I was at the very front and ONLY had monitors to guide me. Maybe next time they'll play Massey Hall and we'll be able to hear everything!
