Last night was my 10th time (possibly more, I can’t seem to remember) seeing Matt Good live and he continues to kill it every time. The new material off Vancouver sounded amazing and Matt’s voice despite illness was immaculate as usual.

Although Massey Hall in Toronto doesn’t exactly lend itself to rock shows very well (seating makes people unsure whether or not they should stand up), the sound is just awesome. I was hoping to hear Vancouver National Anthem, but unfortunately it was not to be. Nevertheless, the setlist was strong.

One point worth mentioning is how incredible the opening act Mother Mother was. I had seen them at the Casby’s, but couldn’t really get a good sense of what they were about after only hearing two songs. I haven’t heard vocal harmonies live like that, well, ever. Go get their album, people.
