The OFG Tour Journal: Toronto Madness (written yesterday)

 I know I am about a day late, but wow  how do bands do it? Touring is exhausting! Anyways I am back home, some what rested and off later to get my Letterman tickets to see the private gig at the Ed Sullivan theater!  Anyways lets get to the review.....


So we arrive at the venue  at  10:30am, yes you read that right, we were bored and knew we wouldn't be happy out sightseeing, wondering if a massive line had started, so off we went with our tent chairs and were proudly the first in line.. 


It wasn't until about 3pm the line really started to get bigger.


Everyone around us was super nice....including these guys!


Oasis Tribute Band Supersonic! You might remember I did a interview with them here. Truly the nicest guys you want to meet... Thanks sooo much for taking a photo with me!


Anyways we finally get in and take our rightful places in the bar. Now I thought this crowd would be a lot rowdier then the Chicago crowd,  but know they were pleasantly calm, which made life a little easier for us, no elbows in the head. As for Beady Eye, they again were spot on, if anyone ever claims to you that  Liam's voice is gone, you have my permission to call them a LIAR.  He was spot on, the sound was MUCH better then the Chicago gig, and the band just seemed to be having a good time. A few highlights..


-Liam seems to always tell the same jokes like "Are there any Indians in the house? Or maybe cowboys?" at the beginning of Wigwam, or dedicating For Anyone to all the beautiful girls


-I don't think Andy Bell has sweat glands, mean while Gem looks like someone threw water on him:)


-Bring the Light my new favorite live. 


-I had joked before the gig to Brian that sweaty towels were the new tambourines, and if I got one  how would I display it.  Hence after Bring the Light (and me just having a grand ole time) Liam walks over to the stage in front of me and with the a sweaty towel  wrap around his hand, leans down and makes me pull it off his hand. I kid you not, I now own my own personal Liam Gallagher sweaty towel :D Aaaa love that guy :)


-Boy, Canadians are nice :)















 We left the gig so tired only to find out Gem and Andy attended the after party :( Still it was a great gig and a great day all and all. Beady Eye is  amazing :) 


Check back later today...boy do I have a story about last night for you!
