Awesome set! The Ocean was heavy as fuck and BTBAM was tight all night long. The Swim to the Moon jam was awesome. The guitar solo was actually a mix between "Reaction" and "Veridian" with a fat solo stuck right in the middle. Very inventive and cool. I was kinda hoping for White Walls, but when Blake was yelling before the encore that it was hot as fuck in the club, I figured they would opt for the shorter encore.

I keep forgetting the Ocean are playing first, meaning I'll have to sit through JFAC...

Yeah, my buddies and i just sat at the bar and drank a couple beers during their set

The Ocean played in second, after JFAC, in Montreal... I don't know why the order changed, but I would have like to see JFAC in second instead of The Ocean...

Thanks for posting, although I had very mixed feeling upon reading this.

I actually showed up for this show, but thanks to some bad info provided by some dingbat chick on the phone who apparently didn't even work for the venue, I arrived just in time to see BTBAM. In other words, I missed The Ocean - who was the band I had actually driven almost two hours to see - by a fucking mile. Thanks, idiot bitch.

Needless to say, I fucking left. Then, as a consolation prize, I decided to head up to Detroit with my buddy and my brother to play some poker. I was up about a hundred bucks at one point, but by the time I left I was getting my fucking clock cleaned.

That's a weekend I'd just as soon fucking forget.

Anyway, glad you had a good time. Seems like a pretty good set from The Ocean, albeit a little short (which is completely understandable given their position on the bill, which is just fucking criminal in my mind). I would have thunk they'd have played Shamayim / Firmament, though. At least you got to hear The Origin of Species / The Origin of God, though. That's got to be one of the best things they've ever done.

You could have seen BTBAM and just left instead? Yeesh.

I was waiting for you to say that. Chances are, If I'd seen them live before, I probably would have stayed, because I'd probably have been impressed. As it was, I was pissed about having made the drive for nothing, essentially, and I had little reason to stay (in my mind), plus, neither my brother nor my buddy were interested in BTBAM at all, so I would have felt like I was forcing my opinion on them. I actually lobbied for us to stay for a second, but when I could see they weren't interested I just said fuck it.
