Turn_It_Up Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 I think Becket said No More Heroes was played for the first time in Thunder Bay.No More Heroes was debuted the show before that. I saw them do it in Winnipeg. Todd wrote about it in his blog too:Let me just say that Brent Fitz is the mayor of Winnipeg. I don’t know who the actual mayor of Winnipeg but I think anyone who knows him will agree that Fitz is. Fitz is the kinda guy that knows people in every single city. I’m talking Europe, Japan, Australia, South America. It’s mind blowing. When you get to Winnipeg it is simply ridiculous. Rather than have everyone backstage for our usual aftershow meet and greet we had everyone meet at our fave restaurant, Johnny G’s cuz there’s no way our backstage could accommodate.We debuted No More Heroes from Apocalyptic Love at this show. We’d been jamming it at soundcheck for a few days and decided to bust it out that night. All told we are doing almost the entire Apocalyptic Love album live. Not all in one show as we change them out. From the album we are currently playing live- 1. Apocalyptic Love 2. One Last Thrill 3. Standing In The Sun 4. You’re A Lie 5. No More Heroes 6. Halo 7. Anastasia 8. Not For Me 9. Hard And Fast 10. Shots Fired That means the only songs we are not playing from the record in any live capacity are We Will Roam, Bad Rain and Far And Away. We did do Far And Away for the acoustic show we did for Guitar Center. We are also not playing the bonus tracks, Crazy Life and Carolina. It is quite an achievement to be playing 10 out of 13 tracks from an album live. That’s how proud of Apocalyptic Love we are.We played at the Burton Cummings Theater which is where we played a couple of years ago. Named after the singer for the Guess Who, one of Winnipeg’s biggest exports. It was the sweatiest rock show of the tour. People were delirious from the heat. I have to admit I was high on lack of oxygen and extreme heat myself. I wore my tee shirt from The Zoo a Winnipeg club I’ve been playing from the very beginning of my career. It is still there in Osbourne Village.After the show we made our way to Johnny G’s for a little meeting and greeting. The Conspirators were there-Brent, Frank and I, plus several members of our touring company. A good time was had. Winnipeg is always a good time!From there we made our way to Thunder Bay, Ontario to celebrate Slash’s birthday. Well, we didn’t go there to specifically celebrate Slash’s birthday it just happened to fall on this particular date. Thunder Bay is another one of those towns I have played a thousand times. It is the last stop between Winnipeg and Toronto so there is always a gig in Thunder Bay. Cool, thanks. We Will Roam and Bad Rain would be near the top of my list of songs to hear live, so hopefully they add those, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
