I went to both the Moncton and the Halifax shows (number 4 and 5 on the PS tour for this guy).

Setlist:

California Girls
Dance Dance Dance
I Get Around / Shut Down / Little Deuce Coupe
Little Honda
In My Room
Surfer Girl
Salt Lake City
Wake the World / Add Some Music
California Saga
Don't Worry Baby
Let Him Run Wild
Darlin'
Feel Flows
Wild Honey
Sail On Sailor

Pet Sounds

Good Vibrations
Help Me Rhonda
Barbara Ann
Surfin' USA
Fun Fun Fun
Love and Mercy

I grabbed the setlist so I can add the keys they're playing most of the stuff in if anyone is interested.

Darian was there, which was the first time I'd seen the band with him - Darlin' was a standout both nights. Brian was still doing the talk-sing thing on some of Pet Sounds, but not unilaterally - he was really belting it out on I'm Waiting for the Day, and his harmony with Al during Sloop John B was great. I took a video of Caroline, No from the Moncton show.

Attendance at the Halifax show was abysmal - I'm guessing it was just over half capacity and even then they had shut down the back quarter of the rink. Boggling. Blondie was great, as ever. Nelson seemed to be having big issues with his in-ear monitors both nights. The drumming was insanely solid. I was able to meet Paul very briefly.

This sounds a little hyperbolic but Brian seemed to be exceptionally energetic in Moncton.

He also made a prayer sign during In My Room at the Halifax show. I'm not sure if that is one of his "moves", but it was a very affecting moment in the set.

I grabbed a hoodie, shirt, poster, and book. They were selling the cds of the new anthology as well.

Regarding SOS, despite the above, remember during C50 Brian did seem to relish *roaring* the "damn the thunder" line ! LOL

Any YouTube clips? Would love to see/hear it.

I have tickets for Halifax and Moncton - five times seeing him in this extended tour.

Welcome cpeck, and thanks for posting this. I really enjoyed it, nicely written. I was also at the Massey Hall show -- not a day goes by that I don't flash back to it and get the same chills as I did at the show.

Thanks very much - that Massey Hall show was truly remarkable.

Hi all,
First post!

I wrote about seeing the tour in Toronto, Ottawa, and Detroit for a website called The Talkhouse. Hope you like it.
