The Show:
Another tour of Canada in the winter time for the boys. This tour sees the band performing in the provinces of Quebec and Ontario for 11 shows in 12 days. The Ontario shows take place within a 1-3 hour drive from Toronto where BA has performed many times over his career and enjoyed a loyal following.

The Kitchener Auditorium holds about 6000 fans, which has become a typical audience size during the last tours in Canada. BA seems to be visiting the secondary cities in Canada to say thanks for years of support.

The last time they performed multiple dates in Canada in the summer was way back in 1992. They must like the cold.


The Songs:
Although the basic structure of the show remains the same (and probably will until a new album is out to tour behind) but BA tinkers a little with the mix of songs and ads a splash of new material.

Two new songs: The rockin' We Don't Know What We're Doing and the acoustic ballad The Way You Make Me Feel. WDKWWD was written a month before for an awards show in Europe and TWYMMF was written by BA but recorded by UK artist Ronan Keating in 2000. BA closes the show with TWYMMF alone with a guitar.

Although it's not an old song, If Ya Wanna Be Bad... contains a third verse and a second guitar solo. This is new since the December dates in western Canada.

When You're Gone is peformed but for some reason the song is not included with the video. We see BA picking the singer and the very end of the song, but that's it.

The acoustic portion of the show is limited to one song - Everything I Do - and the unplugged section feature the usual songs. One Night Love Affair makes a pleasant return to the set to replace Before the Night Is Over - a song that was played since the start of 1999 at every show.

The Recording:
Solid audience recording from a tripod located directly facing the stage. No rough spots to report on with a mixture of full-stage shots and BA-only footage.
