I was at the Toronto Show and it was awesome - the meet and greet at this show was pretty organized actaully..they brought us all in and the band came around signing stuff and then everyone got to take 1 picture with them, it was awesome. Plus they took us right outside afterwards so we got to go in first - i got 1st row and was standing there the entire time.

I asked Johnny about the boards and he said hed try to come on soon.

Anyway the show was incredible... Default opneed and was pretty good. Staind, obviously, was on a different level. I saw them 3 times with 3DD this summer and was a little surprised the setlist hadn't really changed much. It was the same setlist they had at hte end of the tour wtih 3dd except they squeezed Break in there i thnk 5th and then put yesterday in too. The surprise of the show was REALITY - aaron said something likee it was only the 2nd time he had ever sung it...it rocked. Overall it was incredible though. If i had one request it would be to play a couple other songs from chapter V like schizophrenic conversations, run away, or please but it rocked anyway.

thanks for the update and i'm glad you had a great time. i can't wait for december to roll by. i'll be seeing them more then a few times and i can't wait. you have pictures to show us?

not yet..i had a digital throw away so im gonna get them developed and get the cd back soon

i talked to one of the guys who works for the band and he said the band's been trying some different stuff out, so itd be cool to hear from other shows the setlist even if its only 1 song differet, which im guessing it is considering its practically the same from the summer..like reality was incredible, they should play that every night!

then what are you waiting for? hehe... i wanna see pics. that's really cool that you talked to the guys. i'm usually so nervous that i can't talk so i just smile. hey at least i get a smile out of aaron and ol skool...

WOW I am still reeling from that show, it was fantastic!! It was my first time seeing them, and I am totally impressed. I was lucky to be able to see them at the radio station earlier in the day, the acoustic songs were beautiful. I managed to get to the front row also, and took a few blurry pics. Is this the right thread to post them in? I havent seen any others, so I'm not sure.

WHAT SONGS DID THEY SING ACOUSTIC AT THE RADIO STATION?

also, anyone else at the show who was 1st row??? I was like right in front of johnny, anyone near there??? i met som ecool ppl on both sides of me , thatd be sweet if they were on the board

I was near johnny, but never met anyone. I was like right wre he would go to sneak a smoke between songs.

They were planning to do "please". The reason I know is cause the lyrics were on the que sheet I got after the show.It has some of the "tough" lyrics on it I guess. HAHAHA, Johnny can't remember his own groups lyrics after many shows already! Don't worry Johnny your still cool. He doesn't remember cause his job is to just rock out on bass : )
The other reminder he wrote was a few words from "reality".

I'm starting really like default! I'm surprised. The singer has a good/unique voice. They are awesome live!

I was front row, but right in the middle, mostly in front of Aaron

staind_kinda_life - who were you with cuz where your describing is like 2 feet from where I was?

were you near the annoying girls that kept pushing their way up to the first saying "i have to take a picture" and then staying there for like 3 songs at a time?

Heres my incredibly blurry pix from the toronto show! Cheap-ass camera, but better than none..I was also in the front row, directly in front of Aaron, could not have asked for a better spot! Metal Inc, and staind4life, if either of you were in a black tshirt beside a tiny little blond girl, I apologize for hanging off your back all night!!
