Saturday, Fredericton

For those of you that have been following along, you’ve probably noticed that the shows thus far have all had very similar set lists, with a few changes here and there. I wanted to comment on this as I’ve received a few emails about it.

The reason for such a regimented set list is that I am contemplating recording the upcoming Massey Hall show, which would then be released as a live record. Nothing has been finalized yet, mind you, but if I do decide to do it, given that this is a new band that only has a finite number of songs under its belt, I wanted to ensure that we had somewhat mastered a regimented and fluid set prior to that performance, which is three shows away, not counting tonight’s performance in Fredericton.

Another reason is that the band only knows a limited number of songs within the context of my catalogue, which is rather large. That being the case, requests for certain songs unfortunately can’t be met because they simply haven’t been learned, nor has there been time to learn them. We are, in every sound check, working on adding material, and are at present working up a full band version of Apparitions.

If you’re coming to the show tonight here in Fredericton, have fun!
