7/16/2011 - Massey Hall (2 SHOWS 3pm/8pm) - Toronto [FOR TV]

[Yankomaniac]

I won't be surprised if one of the shows is on Much the day of, seeing as they are based in Toronto. But that may just be seen on Canadian television, IDK, do you guys get Muchmusic?

[Alinite27]

Yeah, I have to agree Yanko. The Toronto shows should have been announced more in advance. He had to know sooner, since he told you on May 25 that they would be performing there, but the dates weren't posted until June 2. And they probably knew even before the May 25.

Yeah, Much is only available in Canada.

[Yankomaniac]

I think VH1 as someone else mentioned is very likely to air it aswell, but I don't think they would do it the day of. I assume they won't air anything live, anything aired will most likely be edited and everything, but hopefully something will be on the day of, especially if I dont end up going.

I'd already bought a VIP Ticket for the 8PM show. If I would have known about their 2 show bundle deal, I would have probably got VIP for Lancaster instead. Anyway, I needed to get 3 more tickets today at the on-sale. Two aisle seats for Mom and hopefully a seat with her at the 3PM show. However, I found out that for her to be able to do the 2 show deal, that I would either have to have an extra ticket or be separate for the shows. For some reason, the first time I called with international calling rates applied to both of these calls, since I couldn't get any aisle seats to pop up on the internet, the credit card that we always use was declined. So, on this first call I was going to do the extra ticket, but had to give these seats up. I had Row C for the 3PM show and Row Q for the 8PM show both on the right center aisle. No tickets were available at all on the aisle for the dead center aisle. Anyway, I gave these up.

On the 2nd go-around, we rethought it and decided it would be best not to be stuck with an extra ticket, although I figure we could have sold it. Anyway, decided for the single seats in the bundle, then I would just buy my seat for whatever I could get best online. 2nd call ended up with Row G for 3PM and Row E for 8PM for Mom. So, she has good seats on the right center aisle. Hopefully Al will choose this aisle for Lovr, if he's able to perform it with the camera set-up. I'm pretty sure he will.

Anyway, the tickets we have for this show are:
3PM:
Row G, Seat 45, Right Center Aisle
Row F, Seat 32, 2 seats off of dead center

8PM:
Row E, Seat 44, Right Center Aisle
Whatever the VIP gives me. Hopefully Row D, somewhere near dead center

So, now we have tickets. Just to get our passports and we'll be set for Al-TV!

My wife and I got VIP preorders for the Toronto show after we saw Al in Pittsburgh. Man, they put on a hell of a show! We're really excited to see him again and will be interested to see where the taping airs. If it's a DVD you better believe we'll be buying it. Also, hi folks, new here! *waves*

Edit: By the way, we know the VIP ticket doesn't mean a backstage pass or anything, we were just wondering: what are the chances of Al doing a meet and greet after the show? We couldn't stay in Pittsburgh last time to find out.

[Yankomaniac]

Meet & Greets seem to be rare as of late, but with them doing two show on this date, Im sure hanging out by the bus will be your best bet. They would probably be around the bus between the shows, but definitely after so long as it is just parked in the back or something. Since there is two shows though I would really doubt he would do a meet & greet, but don't doubt for a second that the guys for sure and probably Al will be around the bus so......better go on a band-hunt!! I bet he'll be hanging out after the night show outside the bus for sure since it'll be a nice midsummer night.

[Alinite27]

Yeah, he surprised me there in Pittsburgh, he actually came out to the sidewalk and did a meet. I think it was mainly due to the fact that he knew it was my 100th show that night. But, yeah, he came out to the sidewalk right next to the gate that went into where the bus was kept.

I would hope that he would do a meet here, since it sounds like Yankomaniac says the bus is accessible. I wouldn't really expect between shows since they'll probably be working on specific elements of the show that didn't work in the first show to make sure that everything is perfect for the film cameras. But, it doesn't hurt to hang around and see if anybody's out there.

[crazygurl14]

Would he change the setlist for tv or would hye just do what he has been doing the whole tour? Did he change many things for WAY Live back when that was taped?

[Yankomaniac]

No, the set was the same, except the DVD excluded Money For Nothing, Addicted To Spuds (why I will NEVER understand) and Laundry Day and the Celine Dion unreleased parodies. But it was the normal setlist he was doing for Touring With Scissors.

[minnick27]

UGH.

I cant wait to see what he does with this. Im hoping its a show for more than just Canadians. Though I know that it will be available somehow afterwards.
