Montreal , Main Hall , St.Laurent ; satyr-day night in Habville . Tight quarters for a sold out show . Away , away , away , away , awwaayy , awwayyy ...
Two Hours Traffic play their last show of this tour and are off home . Bon ton all round .

Ottawa , Capital Music Hall ; Loudest crowd , room , yet . Mal makes welcome appearance . Songbird Millionaires in attendance .

Toronto , The Phoenix ; Sold Out Phoenix don't cha know . Gigantic guest list brings house to just under a million . Hotter than hell . Full metal Plaskett management team fly in from around globe . Halifax expat community out in droves ; Minature Tim IS the new black . McGetts graces the stage for a couple of numbers , Pennell won't have it and rocks the tambo into next tuesday . Pete Elkas joins band for next three shows and good-looking average of band rises to new height . Great show all round . Plaskett not happy with Sweet Leaf left in the dark .

Hamilton , The Casbah ; Back to the motherland and an ego salvaging sell out on familiar turf . Back in the Hammer and it feels good .
Matthew Barber and the Union Dues reconnect with us after Winnipeg and Two Hours Traffic role in .
Buddy needs the computer .Gotta go .

I absolutely wanted to throttle the Phoenix light guy!! Dissing Sweet Leaf's light aside, his manic light-switching made it damn hard for us photographers. *Growl*!

Regardless, this was an amazing show. As always, send my thanks to Joel & crew for everything, you guys made my week.

Here's a link to my photos & mini-review for the Toronto show, if you'd like to see 'em (and feel free to use the photos if you'd like, I wasn't shooting for publication this time, just my own portfolio): www.rockpaperpixels.com
