Whoa Toronto's speech was LONG.

Metric/Stars
Budweiser Gardens
London, Ontario
Nov. 19, 2012
$117,298(figures in $USD)
2971/4362(paid attendance vs. capacity)
$36.70/$46.60($USD before service charge)

Only Metric figure published this week in Billboard. Means the whole tour would have a non VIP ticket sales gross in the $1.6m range. Those VIP passes would add maybe $60-80,000 tour wide depending on number sold. Metric also do well on merch.

Toronto should be a bit more than 3 times the above number

How do you select songs for setlists. Are there any songs you feel you’re through with?

It’s such a process putting together the repertoire that will compose the set when you go through another round of touring the world on a new record. It’s amazing how certain songs flow into each other, like “Help I’m Alive” and “Breathing Underwater” really right near each other and other songs like “Sick Muse” and “Dead Disco.” And we still play “Dead Disco,” and that’s from our very first album. It’s kind of, like, at every show we do a retrospective of the body of work. It’s like, wow, this really does span 10 years. We don’t really kick out the old songs for the new ones – we just try to make room.

"We don't kick out the old songs, if you come to our shows, you might think we're still touring Fantasies."

I wonder whatever happened to Combat Baby.

I'm always all about the new songs, same when I see any band. Especially the Rolling Stones.
Gimme some sympathy (ha ha), I have heard Satisfaction and Gimme Shelter so many @#^^@ times,
but the new ones? Okay, not their best, but at least to hear them live is a treat.

Same with the Much Music Metric show...
give me your new stuff, sell yer record.
Okay, play an old hit or two for grammy and gramps, but honestly Metric, sell the new stuff....
