Wink Official Canadian Recap thread

Maybe we can try and contain our excitement to one or two places lol.

It was probably the best night of my life despite having to piss the entire time and having a splitting headache by the end (probably a mix of tiredness and too many bright flashes).

I was really impressed with Black Lungs, Wade put so much heart into the performance and made a lot of jokes. Sleepercar pretty much blew me away because I didn't know what to expect and they put on an awesome show and sounded great (I don't even like country).

City and Colour was also great. I'm going to have to admit that I liked the songs with the band more than solo. It seemed there was a whole new dynamic and I think the version of Sam Malone they played is my favorite I've ever heard (so if anyone has a video I want it).


The set list was the same as the last ones though, but he played "What Makes a Man" with Dan Under (who also came out for Comin' Home during the Encore). When I saw the harmonica though I was sure it was gonna be Body in a Box but oh well.

The crowd was also awesome, no one was disrespectful during the openers and there was some decent banter when Dallas played (even the "funny guy and girl" weren't too bad). No one demanded to hear songs played and everyone clapped/sung along when asked. A spontaneous clap started up here and there.

that was a lot longer than I wanted to type and is probably not going to be read by anyone.
