The Weakerthans "Tournament of Hearts"

In Toronto, Canada - perhaps it was a little over a year..
Actually, I almost missed it! The show started with a warm-up band. We assumed it was the warm-up band from the ticket and the next band (the real warm-up) was the Weakerthans. The second warm-up band was terrible. They said nothing, the set was short and the sound was almost incomprehensible. Everyone seemed to split directly after the last number. So, standing in an empty hall with the lights on watching people hauling gear away, we thought, 'oh, well.. win some, you lose some' and we left the venue. Flagging a cab we had second thoughts... That REALLy didn't sound like the Weakerthans from their albums .. what if...

So we went back and lo and behold -- they were in the process of resetting the stage for the real Weakerthans! After a very long break they came on and played an awesome show with great sound -- we nearly missed it! One of the best shows I've seen.
