Stardust Picnic @ Fort York, Toronto, ON

Well, what can I say? This was the second night in row I would be seeing Blue Rodeo, along with Great Big Sea, The Skydiggers, Ivana Santilli, Guster and Heartbreak Hill. And it was just a great afternoon of great music. The weather was fabulous, the venue offered more than I'd expected and my only complaint is that it didn't last long enough.

The encore with Great Big Sea alone was worth the price of admission. And unlike the previous night's show, I was free to take pictures at my leisure. Which is why I came home the next day with 3 full rolls of film waiting to be developed. Here's Blue Rodeo's setlist, pretty much the same as it been the previous night in Windsor, with a few variations here and there.

Til I am Myself Again
Better Off As We Are
5AM A Love Song
When Will You Rage Again?
It Could Happen To You

Dark Angel

I only wish I could have stayed the extra day for more. Oh well. A great show all around, and here are some highlights from the pictures I took.
