Well... I'm an idiot haha. I think my mind just focused on "meet and greet" and $120 and didn't notice anything else. Amazing deal but a slightly intimidating price at the same time. Wonder how many people will spring for it. Thanks for answering my (now quite obviously) stupid question!

VIP ticket question: does anyone know whether or not the seats are together if you get a few VIP tickets in one purchase? I'm convincing a friend to get the VIP tickets with me but she won't do it unless we know we'll be sitting together. It says they can't guarantee where the seats will be, just wondering if anyone's gotten theirs in the mail. Thanks!

yup, he came out and played in Kitchener last night

Actually it was an older guy that said it I think. The guy you found just made a twitter remark that Matt noticed.

Matt was rambling a bit on stage, as he usually will do, and some guy in about the 10th row yelled "shut the fuck up!" Matt then said something to the effect of, "Really dude? Shut the fuck up? That's what I love, ballsy people sitting in the crowd. How bout you do yourself a favor, walk out those fucking doors. Then go to the fucking box office and get your money back. If I had my wallet I'd pay you myself" He left, and Matt later said he apparently did get his money back. I was quite happy when Matt tore the "fan" up. Other than that the crowd was pretty good. Matt invited a couple guys from Austria on stage too. And yeah, it was a good opening set of songs. The band came out after the acoustic intro of On Nights Like Tonight.

Kitchener Setlist: So Long Mrs. Smith On Nights Like Tonight The Boy Who Could Explode Load Me Up Great Whales of the Sea Volcanoes The Future is X Rated rant (Matt told a guy in the crowd to "fuck right off" and leave... more on that later) Born Losers Us Remains Impossible Last Parade Weapon Apparitions Encore: Silent Army in the Trees Black Helicopter Empty's Theme Park

Good eye. I was sitting in the first balcony about 2nd row if I remember correctly. My memory card ran out of space right as he ended the song, I was getting a little nervous as he kept singing "if I'm fated..." lol. I would love it if that acoustic show ever got released, I'm excited after listening to bootlegs and watching bits of other videos I was able to get. Fated stole the show, for sure.

I saw the videos on Much (every one since Apparitions), back when I was a kid and actually watched Much. But I didn't get into MG/B until I got In a Coma for my cousin. We watched a few of the music videos on the dvd and he burned me the 1st disc of the set. Then I went out and got Avalanche. I was hooked.

It's up for 24 hours. http://www.matthewgood.org/2009/06/the-van...anthem-preview/ Sounds pretty good to me, how about everyone else?

You hit the nail on the head, but that's not to say that if a song's "blastable" it's lacking depth. Like here is no way just said, it really is to each their own with this thread. I started this thread to see what everyone thought, I'm still waiting for someone to say they love blasting acoustic stuff.

I was driving around this afternoon and found myself cranking Put Out Your Lights and Alert Status Red.

With nicer weather coming soon, I just wanted to see what Matt Good songs everyone regards as "summer songs". The kind of song you'll turn up and listen to while driving around. Stuff like House of Smoke and Mirrors, although it's great, doesn't apply. Born Losers seems like a summer song to me, partly because that's when I started listening to it. Any thoughts? Bit of a stupid thread but whatever lol.

I did a similar assignment and used Blue Skies Over Bad Lands, but there are lots of MG/B songs to choose from. Good luck with the assignment.

I made a video for Avalanche from Massey Hall. It's my video from the concert with the audio from the CD synced up to it. Hopefully it worked out ok lol

Ah bloody hell, I miss those videos already. I'm not so sure if we have a mystery afoot, but those are definitely intriguing theories. I claim innocence! lol

Oh well. When it comes to a bunch of live Matthew Good Band videos, we're all winners!

YouTube was doing maintenance last night; it's all good.

While on youtube after reading AndrewfromBC's topic about Indestructible, I stumbled upon a bunch of live videos from SnowJob 99 (during the recording of Beautiful Midnight) RICO! Indestructible Symbolistic White Walls Everything is Automatic Apparitions Strangest One of All My Out of Style Is Coming Back (only a minute of it) All credit goes to thevoid999, that person is my new hero. Just figured everyone might like to watch these, they're pretty good.

I was bored today and posted a video of Apparition I took from the concert and matched it up to the track from Live at Massey Hall. Enjoy! ;)

I've yet to hear the CD, still waiting for mine in the mail. But in regards to Load Me Up, I sang along and so did a few of the people around me. Also I think it was the bassist that motioned for the crowd to stand up, it was the most energetic he was all night.

My ex liked weapon solely because of the first line that I would sing along with "here by my side... an angel" I guess she didn't realize that the rest of the song wasn't really about a girl lol. Oh well, it made her happy Other than that I'd probably go with.... True Love Will Find You In The End Empty Road Fearless Strange Days Hello Time Bomb (just adding a hit to trigger their memory of mgb) I'm probably missing some but a lot of good ones have already been suggested

Thank you very much thewickednightmare

Can anyone name the song being played in this video from 0:45 to 0:54? It's from 2002 if that helps. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsoWUad9VcE It's really bugging me. I figured I'd post this here since the video happens to be an interview.

It sounds amazing with the added intensity at the end of the song, I prefer it over the Hospital Music version of CoN. But still, I love the album version too. I also preferred it when Matt sang "Don't fuck the princess, fuck the maid" during I'm A Window live. Maybe I was just amused with another f-word.
