I saw The Keep It In The Family Tour live in Edmonton on Oct 10th and it was awesome ! The club was packed, the bill could have played a bigger club.
Zimmers Hole was hilarious and put on an amazing show. This was the first time I've seen ZH. Chris Valago (singer) has a great voice and seeing Jed and Byron in a different band was cool.
SYL kicked ass as usual, Ive seen them 2 other times, which I had to travel to Vancouver to see them both times. Devin was awesome with the crowd, he also said some pretty funny shit in between songs. Gene Hoglan was amazing to watch, twirling his drumsticks while pulling off some intense drumming. The only song I wanted to see live was 'Aftermath' and they played it, so I was a happy camper ! I hope they come back soon...
DTB was the main event for me ! It seems the crowd was looking forward to this set as well. I've never seen any of Devin's solo stuff live before. I was hoping to see Devin play a guitar solo and see them perform 'Truth' and 'Earth Day'. All my wishes came true ! Devin's voice was amazing along with his guitar playing and the rest of the band was very tight. Ryan's drumming is very solid and suits DTB perfectly, Bryan rocks out big time and Mike and Dave looked as cool as cucumbers up there. It was so cool to see and hear his solo stuff live. I cannot wait to see the DTB live again, if you have'nt seen them....GO ! It is worth every penney and it will be a concert you will never forget. The emotion in the performance and music is amazing. Thank You Devin !
PS... I met Ryan (we talked for 20 min's or so) and was going to ask him a bunch of question's about DTB and drumming but we got talking about Hockey and all the pranks he videotaped during this tour. He was an awesome guy to talk to, he had no ego and was very approachable. He did mention that Devin was throwing around the idea of a Devy DVD ! That would rule !
