Rasputina   10/27/2005

The Mod Club, Toronto, ON
Media MD   1 disc
Notes MASTER.
J-Card Comment Rasputina were fabulous. The vocals were louder [than the music] than any other Rasputina concert I have heard. Melora + the crew added a few tiny twists on their songs; which are moreso only noticeable to the hardcore fans. Some were played slower + different notes were played on other songs; and some notes not played at all. It was interesting to hear, and is more interesting to own. One of the few annoyances throughout the show came from one woman. She was sitting at the table behind us & continuly talked during the WHOLE show, did business work and even painted her nails!!! After the show I mentioned to her how disrespectful she was being, and her only comeback was "this is a rock club." Another thing was about 20 minutes into the show I go into a plastic bag to grab some candy and you can hear the noises from the bag (haha).

Meloras banter did sound rehearsed, but was amusing non-the-less. She told us (Toronto) how we were better than Monteal (were are), about Hitler among other Melora subjects. She explained how some of her hardcore, younger fans wonder about their thoughts on Degrassi and how whenever she sings "the grassy floor" in 'Hunters Kiss' she thinks of Degrassi. The comment went over well with the audience because Degrassi is/was filmed in Tdot.

Rasputina did one encore; all members (Melora, Zoey & Jonathon) all sang during the encore and it was a medley of 3 unreleased, (and at this time) unknown songs.

The show did come out very well, about a A/A-. The was no opening band. Doors were at 7pm, & show was scheduled for 8, but started around 20 after. No opening band is a great thing.

This show will never see the light of day though, sadly. I won't trade it off for a certain reason, not beause I am a hoarder, but because there is someone who I know is going to want a copy; & they ripped me off before - so, I am not surfacing this show. Sorry. Until this person sends me what they owe me + then some, it will stay as an MD in my shoebox of masters.
Trades Allowed Yes
