With the delay on the new studio album, maybe they want to have something "official" (beyond the bootlegs, that is) that they can sell in stores later on in 2012.
I could be way off here...Paul McGuiness isn't their manager.
That Toronto 2003 gig was indeed a wild one. EV seemed quite impressed with the crowd. RITFW and Baba in the same show!
I just realized that is the first non-2011 Toronto gig I've listened to in its entirity. I have 2000, 2005, 2X2006, and 2009 on my computer. I'd better get on them soon.
(and to think I missed them all - big, big f-bomb)
That's right...I think/hope I copied it somewhere to use at a later date - will probably try to get Vancouver in there. I was also thinking big about putting all the 2000's (naughties?) Canadian shows together in YET ANOTHER Mega-mix (might skip the 2005 tour - too much to choose from there). I guess that would include:
Toronto 2000
Vancouver 2003
Toronto 2003
Montreal 2003
Toronto 2006 (x2)
Calgary 2009
Vancouver 2009
Toronto 2009
Did I miss any?

I plan to listen to the 2003 Toronto and Montreal shows until the end of the week - and then it's on to the legendary July 2003 shows. I plan to listen to all 10 of them (not including the three Mexico City dates - I wore them out last fall).
Take Once from another tour in Canada..the '05 shows were great..Halifax,Toronto,Montreal,Quebec,Ottawa,Saskatoon....some off the chart places...Harvest Moon was great on that tour...
