Mogwai: 16 May, Phoenix Concert Theatre, Toronto

Awww yeah...

This was absolutely brilliant. I left with my ears ringing slightly and a huge smile on my face. 2 nights of Mogwai live in a row will do that to you.

Here's the set list (I was standing behind the soundboard and managed to see this), songs marked with an asterisk were the encores:

Long way
Friend
Flies
Travel is Dangerous
Hunted by a Freak
Satan (note: to the guy who whooped right at the end of the mellow bit before it comes back super heavy: brilliant timing, nice one man.)
I know you are
Acid food
Summer
Happiness
New Paths to Helicon 1
We're no here
*Ratts
*Glasgow Mega-snake

The opening act, Torche... I missed them in Montreal but I did see them at the Phoenix... I wasn't overly impressed, but I didn't hate them either.
They did not, however, live up to the reviews I had heard. Having said that, they do have a heavy stoner rock vibe to them... I just didn't get into it.
