   Wow guys!   
   Wow!   
      
   I'm back from the Toronto show!  Sarah was fan-fucking-tastic tonight!   
   She looked a little tired at first,  and the crowd was also a little laid   
   back at the beginning too - so I wasn't expecting as good a show as the   
   Molson Ampitheatre concert was last year (The venue used for Afterglow   
   Live).  But things quickly got better and better, Sarah's energy level   
   seemed to pick up as the show went on and the crowd must have felt it too!   
   That might have a lot to do with the setlist, but I've never seen so many   
   people leave a concert with such huge smiles on their faces raving about how   
   truly Excellent Sarah's performance was!!   
   She was pretty much at the top of her game except for very very minor   
   moments where she *might* have slipped up a *little* such as a missed   
   keystroke on Angel which she recovered from perfectly.  She was quite   
   pleased to be back in Toronto and had a few funny things to say.  She may   
   have revealed to the world that she doesn't mind it up the bum.  Ooops! :)   
   hehehe   
   Surprises of the night included:   
    - the "new" live version of Hold On which is much closer to the FTE album   
   version than she's been playing in the last few years   
    - SOLSBURY HILL, performed flawlessly, with a LOT more confidence and flare   
   than on the version she recorded SIXTEEN YEARS AGO (and of course it would   
   be!).   
    - a very strange peacock shirt   
      
   Here's the setlist:   
   World On Fire   
   Building a Mystery   
   Adia   
   Perfect Girl   
   Drifting   
   Push   
   I Will Remember You   
   Time (not played on her last leg of the tour)   
   Blackbird   
   Fallen   
   Wait   
   Witness (I saw a few glowsticks!!)   
   Answer (it was before this song where she proclaimed she "likes it in the   
   end" and lost her composure a little in a fit of laughter)   
   Angel   
   Fear (Amazing as always)   
   Train Wreck   
   Stupid   
   Sweet Surrender   
   Possession (performed so well it got a standing ovation before we realized   
   it was her "last" song)   
   ---Encore 1---   
   Ice Cream (audience remained standing throughout most of the whole encore,   
   contributing better than ever to Ice Cream!)   
   Solsbury Hill (Huge response from the crowd!  Amazing!)   
   Hold On   
   Fumbling Towards Ecstasy (people got to sit for this one, for a few moments   
   before the second standing ovation)   
   ---Encore 2---   
   Dirty Little Secret   
      
   TWENTY FOUR songs she played!  Only one less than the show at the Molson   
   last year.  She didn't play Ice, Elsewhere or the You Are My Sunshine intro   
   to the 'revamped' Hold On.  Once again nothing from Solace made the cut, but   
   her revisiting Solsbury Hill more than made up for it! :)   
      
   I had SUCH A GOOD TIME at that show.  Tonight really was magical.  Was   
   anyone else there???
