Opening the evening was Toronto’s Craig Stickland performing a solo set with an acoustic guitar and loop station.
Between sets, The [email protected]‘s Kirsten James MC’d the show hyping the sold out crowd for Matthew Good’s performance of the ‘Beautiful Midnight’ album in full.
Matthew Good then took the stage after opera music played before the lights house lights turned off and a recording of Matthew Good speaking to a woman (possibly a shrink?) followed by the familiar album opening of “K-I-C-K-A-S-S… That’s the we spell success…” from ‘Giant’ put the show into high gear. Good was in a good mood, joking with the audience and his bandmates in moments between songs. Following the performance of ‘Beautiful Midnight’ there was a four song encore that included a brand new song that they “recorded three weeks ago” that might be called ‘Decades’ from what was written on the set list.
