2009-08-11 Underworld @ Koolhaus in Toronto (Tues)

[DeJackyl]

The tour for AHDO hit Toronto, so it's been about 6 years since they've been here, not 10.

Anyway, show number six done, I've seen them at Glastonbury, in Paris and this venue three times, and have to say I turned to my girl two songs three songs in and said 'They could leave the stage right now and I'd still be elated'.

Stunning show - and great crowd, which is a rare in Toronto, the boys seemed to really be appreciative.

No Pearls Girl, Rowla and far too short, but those are the breaks

The show did seem a bit short but then it could have been an all night show and it wouldn't have been enough for me.

I tried to get near the front pretty early in the show, but didn't get too far. I spotted this big guy saying excuse me so I discreetly inserted myself into his wake and followed him as he weaved his way through. Everyone was shoulder to shoulder though when i got there and there was no room to dance, which is what I ended up wanting to do the most, so I bailed and went back to the back.

Moaner as an encore was sick. I drank and danced my ass off, but I'm not a young dude anymore, so I'm nursing a hangover to be proud of today at work. It was worth it. I didn't get the opportunity to find a way to hand off my album promo to anyone who might be able to get it to UW though, so that's is the only regret I have about last night.

Thanks ndrwrld for the sweet meetup, and M for driving me back to the hammer. Everyone was cool and had a great time.
