They made up for a lot in Highland Heights =) I had the benefit of a setlist...I b*tched at Murray after the show about not playing Mistrah...he said I wouldn't have known about that if I hadn't *stolen* a setlist :) They did indeed make up for it in Highland Hts. :) >> It was a fairly standard set, but well done. > >I didn't see it as standard at all.

Yes, Toto, Sarah McLachlan has a very strong fan base in Canada, and it's NOT due to her success in the US. - -- BNL -- MUCH bigger in Canada before they hit the US. Their US popularity only eclipsed their Canadian popularity after their third album. Canadian media only started ignoring them when that happened, coincidentally the same time they started touring more in the US than Canada. Hmm. Coincidental. - -- Tragically Hip -- Sure, they write music and shoot their videos like flag-huggin Americans, but their Canadian popularity vastly eclipses their US fame. Once again, call me anal. I discard any and all theories that success in Canada doesn't happen unless you try to break in the US market.

Anyone else? Considering that he's saying banned in both places, I have a theory. You've heard the saying "the right hand doesn't know what the left is doing?"
