Chicago - This show was the better of the two. The venue was nicer, the people were calmer and there was a great view of the city. Morning Bell was really good too. Everything went off the hook when Jonny played his parts in it. My Iron Lung, Permanent Daylight, No Surprises, Packt Like Sardines in a Crushd Tin Box, Pyramid Song, Talk Show Host, You and Whose Army and Fake Plastic Trees sounded so much better live. Thats like most of the songs on the list. They used an organ for Dollars and Cents which sounded the best out of all of them. Idioteque was super crazy. Colin wasn't playing an instrument so he was doing a wack dance instead. It looked really funny. They used sound excerpts from the television for National Anthem, Climbing Up the Walls which was dope. Thom also said something about the full moon turning him into a werewolf. Would this mean that he is a Superhuman Wolf? Overall, the entire show was unbelievable not to mention they did 3 encores.

Barrie - Smack dab in the middle of freakin nowhere. Great place to not have a show. Doors opened at 3PM. I got there around 6PM. I was super freaked that I might have missed the set. I didn't miss anything, the show started at 8PM. I actually didn't get to catch the Beta Band who did play a good set. Kid Koala went on afterwards and mixed in some Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors like he did in Chicago. It was a crowd pleaser. All in all they played most of the same songs, which were still incredible live. They did throw some different stuff into the mix. Airbag, Exit Music, Nude, Pearly* and The Bends to be exact. Airbag was a really good live song. The lights and being in the middle of nowhere atmosphere really added to Exit Music For a Film. I was surprised that they'd play Pearly* and Nude here. Some guy next to me fainted an another wouldn't stop talking. I had to not turn my head in his direction because his breff stanked something fierce. Another thing that was really evident in this show was since the singles from Amnesiac were pushed more heavily in Canada than in the states. People went crazy when they played Pyramid Song and Knives Out. I didn't see that kind of reaction in Chicago. I do think that ending the show with the Tourist was great. I really wanted to hear a live version of Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors or Like Spinning Plates. If I would've went the Ohio show I would've seen Plates live. At least I got the MP3.
