For those of you who follow my posts closely (I know that’s about 95% of this blog’s readers) you may have noticed my inclination to the slightly overzealous and enthusiastic.  The lowest score I’ve ever given a band on here is 3/5.

You took the GO train into Toronto for the big night and probably went to Jack Astors for dinner before the big show.
