Chrissie Hynde @ Massey Hall (with setlist)

This is one of the concerts that I so looked forward to!

Got some 5th row center tickets off of Kijiji for $200 (face value is $90 each).

I have never sat so close at a show.  In some respects, the sound is not as good.  Chrissie's vocals were coming from the speakers above us, while we heard the guitars directly from the miked amps/cabinets on the stage.  The vocals were a little muddy/delayed, but good none the less.

What a great show!

Before they came on stage, they played "Oh Yes, I'm the Great Pretender..." by the Platters through the house speakers.

The band, was excellent, especially the guy on guitar.  All four guys were miked and sang.

Chrissie Hynde sang a lot, never once strained. 
She is a more then capable rhythm guitarist.
Some very exposed parts she pulled off no problem (Talk of the Town)

Two Encores (see setlist).

Encore with a baritone played by the keyboardist on "I go to sleep" was great even if Chrissie messed up a couple of verses!  Was not on the setlist.

Precious was awesome.

The last song Dark Sunglasses was a great show closer, but the awesome cowbell in the song was pre-recorded.

Surprisingly they DID NOT play Brass in Pocket

Kinda like The Hip not playing New Orleans is Sinking!
