Blue Rodeo: Toronto, August 26/2010

I got my tickets to Blue Rodeo's most recent Toronto gig at the Molson Amphitheatre good and early (only two minutes after the pre-sale tickets went up for sale) and ended up with fabulous seats : second row, centre! As usual, it was a wonderful show and this time around the audience were treated to some tunes you don't hear the band perform frequently anymore, the sadly very much still relevant protest song Fools Like You from their Lost Together album and the haunting What is this Love?

I always get a special kick out of listening to What Am I Doing Here? during these late August Amphitheatre gigs that happen while the CNE (just across the pedestrian bridge from Ontario Place) is on because of the line about standing in front of the ferris wheel.

So of course I couldn't resist snapping a photo after the show, while simulataneously fightingthe temptation to give in to the gauntlet of junk food that is the CNE's (or The EX, as we commonly call it) specialty. As you've probably already heard if you're in the area, this year they've added deep-fried butter, deep-fried macaroni and cheese and cheeseburgers in a bag to their selection of goodies.

Sigh. Just staring at this photo is making me crave a sno cone. Anyway, here's Blue Rodeo performing Never Look Back at last night's show:


And What Am I Doing Here?


Don't forget to hit the EX for a last gasp of summer before it closes on Labour Day!
