love the new album. band was great. would always love to hear more of the early music. dave's vocals sounded like they were hurting a bit - not surprising given his singing style, but it was more noticeable than I remember.

Amazing energy from the band tonight! Great setlist overall, encore was kinda flat. I was disappointed that the crowd didn\'t show much interest in new songs, especially squirm - they rocked that song.
Thanks for NOT playing Everyday this year! xD

Grrrrrreat show! Awesome setlist mixed full of new GrooGrux stuff and older awesome tunes! Still can't believe they played Crush, two step AND #41 in the same show here all with wicked jams.
Toronto crowd not quite near the energy level of Darien a couple weeks ago, in the seats anyhow, seemed like the lawn crowd were pretty loud!
No monsoon this time either, maybe that was why!?

Amazing show,
Saw Funny as the opener in Darien, but the couple weeks off made it just s good to start the show.
Finally got to hear stay or leave full band and its much better than the some devil recording.
I'm a fan of all the new tunes and alligator pie was nuts. Love seven, spaceman, LITHOG.
First time hearing a too much fake. Rashawn just tears up ASTB Ants of course great to hear.
Crush, #41 are phenomenal jams and give Jeff a chance to show what hes got.
Two step and Rapunzel were both repeats from Darien and I was happy to hear em again.
Overall a better received show than last year's which got some undeserved slack. Hoping for 2 Toronto gigs next year.

Tons of energy. Great jams. Kind of tired of PNP/Rap. They always seem to play in Toronto.
Went to SPAC a couple yrs back. Wish I there 2nd night. What a setlist!

Show was incredible!
Highlights were Coffin's incredible sax solo on #41, and Carter's jaw dropping solo in two step.
I also found Boyd to on his game today, out of the three shows I've seen, this was the best.
All in all the crowd was really into it. I found the set list leaned more on softer songs, but the energy really carried, and left everyone very happy.
On a side note, there were two adorable girls dancing on the side of the stage out of view for the majority of people, but because we were so far off to the right we could see them. I'm assuming they were a band member's daughters (likely Dave's) and the looked like they were having the time of their lives.
After the show it was cool to see all of the band members leave on their respective buses, dave, carter, and rashawn each waved to the crowds as they passed.

I would give this show a 4.9. The crowd can be blamed for the drop. More of a who's with who, A&F crowd. Too bad.
Music was brilliant! First Dave show and it skyrockets to the top of the list of shows seen.
Interesting mix, #41 was a real treat, knew hearing Squirm live would tear the place down.....if they only knew...
The boys can really jam and feed off each other real well.
Looking forward to tomorrow night!

dave was very lively tonight, more talkative than he has been at a toronto show in a while. out of my hands was beautiful and #41 was a great treat, with a poweful carter solo. roi was sorely missed though.

Went up to the front of the 200 section for the end. the energy was amazing! dave was having a great time on stage and it seemed like the band didn't want to leave at the end of the show they hung around and dave, stefan, boyd all threw drumsticks with Carter. Ants Marching mid-set was a treat. Rapunzel was awesome!!

Best of all 4 DMB shows I've been to... great opener with Funny The Way It Is... nice to see them let go of Too Much and What Would You say but a good teaser into Ants Marching. #41 was incredible along with Crush and Two Step. It was a little strange without Leroi on stage but Jeff was amazing. Great overall mix of old and new and great encore closing with Rapunzel

Once again Dave was all giddy in TO... gotta love this show! Except the random ID checks, got checked 4 times in 10 min.
