You have to admit that success is a weird thing. It is fair to say that of Montreal has never been that popular and succesful, and yet our taper friends have suddenly turned their backs on them. Case in point, the Ninjas Prove It tour provided us with no less than 8 recordings, but this time we've only had the NPR stream and not-quite-up-to-scratch Urbana one. So let us be thankful for Dave aka Time Was A Joke for his recording of the Dallas show. The setlist that night was quite stellar (You Do Mutilate? Plastis Wafer, Oslo In The Summertime, The Past Is A Grotesque Animal, but also every "hit" off Hissing Fauna), even though I'm sure quite a few fans must have been puzzled by the lack of covers.
Go grab the mp3s there!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Any idea what sparked such enthusiasm from the crowd before TPIAGA? Sounds like an incredible show!
ReplyDeleteThe encore break routine, I guess... I'm sure you can find videos of it on youtube... I have video of the Paris one, but it's far less spectacular in Europe. :/
