Guster Tickets

Always great to see them. Would like to see them in a bigger venue.

I have waited so long for these guys to come to Toronto, and was I ever disappointed. They acted like it was a big honour for them to come to "Canada", yet they were playing at the Phoenix, which is basically a bar so should have been bending over backwards for the few thousand who actually knew who they were. They looked and sounded like an average college bar band, and were less enthusiastic. When you start the concert as the lead vocalist by saying "I don't know where I am because we just arrived and I was changing diapers two minutes ago..." it doesn't exactly make you optimistic for their energy level. They then mocked every element of the show to the point where I was booing them. I still like them but clearly a studio band.

this wouldn't have been a show without Hedley. My only complaint is that they were missing Tom and Chris. I wouldn't have gone to this if Jake and Dave were not there. Hedley should have had more stage time. It was an amazing night, and a great venue. Hedley never fails to blow me away.

While all bands were good, I believe Hedley stole the show (very rarely does an opening band do this). The number of Canadians that traveled to this show for support was unbelievable. I think Thriving Ivory was great as well.
