Barr Brothers - The Drake Hotel, Oct 12

Post: # 24292Post lucasdavidsamuels »

Here's a review one of the blogTO writers wrote. He mixed up Darkness with If You Leave Me (I think he's going to edit tho, I told him about the mixup)

Show was sold out (200-300 people, can't remember capacity) and they had a friend from MTL string together an awesome light show.

Setlist:
Intro > (classic ambient Slip style)
Deacon’s Son
Old Mythologies
Beggar in the Morning
Little Lover
Kisses from Chelsea
Darkness
Sarah Through the Wall
Please Let Me Let It Go
Lord, I Just Can’t Keep from Cryin’
Ooh, Belle
Give the Devil Back His Heart

I love, love, love Darkness. Are you trying to say they played both of them in the set?

I was pondering the other day, and this is a rather selfish thought, I realize. But, with increased popularity and maybe even bigger venues for these guys, do you think the ability to get shows taped is going to dwindle?

they played both darkness and if you leave me. in the article igor describes the song if you leave me, but calls it darkness by mistake!
both awesome songs, darkness was my favourite of the night, the lyrics are amazing.

Yeah, like I said, a bit selfish of me, but that's a bit disappointing to hear. But yeah, Darkness is awesome. I love how simple the melody/guitar parts are. I haven't heard it in a complete Barr Bros. context yet...only the one with Patrick Watson and Timber Timbre that's up on youtube.
