Concert: Our Lady Peace Review

So I went to the Our Lady Peace concert on February 3rd, 2003 at the Civic Centre in Ottawa... I was supposed to meet up with someone but she decided not to show up (argh) so I sold my ticket for $20 to a bum (don't ask me where he got the 20 bucks from). So I got in, sat down in my 3rd row seat and waited for the show to begin. What was really nifty was that it was a band that open.. but a Trailer Park Boys video! Ohh man those guys were hilarious! Anyhoo once they were done Finger Eleven came to play.. they played every hit song EXCEPT Bones and Joints (Which I wasn't too happy about!). So then the Trailer Park Boys come on again, but this time they're actually there on the stage! Couldn't have laughed any harder! So then the real show begins when OLP comes on stage. They started off with a bunch of oldies (my favs) and then got into the newer stuff. What was interesting was that they stopped halfway through Innocent, cuz some kids were acting up and the guards wanted to throw them out. Raine really wanted them to stay, he was lik, "Do we REALLY have to kick these guys out? let's give them a second chance!" and they let the kids stay! And then he just started right back into the chorus of Innocent! That's NUTZ!!!! So then halfway through another song, Raine lept off the stage, ran across the floor (I was running with him, crazy cool!), and jumped almost into the stands.. at which point I was close enough to him to kick his ass if I wanted to! Ohh man the concert was great! The things I wouldn't do to see OLP again... ah well I'll be siing them again at the Juno Awards in April!
