Our Lady Peace concert in Boston

Our Lady PeaceLast Tuesday night I went to see the greatest band in the world, Our Lady Peace, perform at The Paradise in Boston. The show, as always, was fantastic. The show was sold out and had to be at the smallest venue I’d ever seen them in. I actually liked that better as it felt like a more personal experience.

I also discovered a new pet peeve…drunken idiots who want to record portions of the show on their iPhone. This drunk guy in front of me decided to take his shirt off and hold his iPhone in front of everyone’s face, even reaching his arm past two people in front of him obstructing their views. I don’t care if you want to film part of the show, but if you’re going to then take it seriously. Keep the recorder right in front of you where it’s not going to bother anyone and record more than 10 second clips.

Either way, amazing show. I posted the set list below as well as some HD videos from the concert itself from someone who actually knew what they were doing. I’m pretty sure this guy recorded and uploaded the whole show for those interested, but I only posted some highlights here.
