I just got back from the concert. Snakes and Arrows tour. Needless to say, the concert kicked ass. Their music was tighter than ever.

One question though... What's with all the chicken jokes? I HAVE to be missing something.

Err, nevermind...

Quote:
I was close enough to make out the three huge "Hen House" rotisserie chicken roasters, as big as Alex's Hughes & Kettner amplifier cabinets, positioned on the stage behind Geddy. The last couple of tours it was clothes dryers, and now it's frigging chicken ovens. You can't say these Canucks don't have a sense of humor. For those who are still unaware, this began as an inside joke about the appliance-sized speaker cabinets that are often used on stage. Since Geddy was now relying on ear monitors to hear himself, and not bass cabinets, he wanted to balance out Alex's wall of guitar amps with his own "appliances." The funniest part of it all was watching the young lady, dressed in a white chef's uniform, come out and baste the chickens throughout the show.
