Stars (Yonge-Dundas Square, NXNE, June 17, 2011)

From what I can recall this was my ninth time seeing Stars so there wasn't a heckuva lot that surprised me. Of note ...

The Five Ghosts banner hung behind them and that angel/ghost also appeared on Evan's bass.

Amy was in fine form after just giving birth a month or two ago (to Cranley's kid).

Still decking the set out with live flowers, though not nearly as much as the Bedroom tour.

Their exceptional backing guitarist was missing and in his place was an older professional who held it down to Torq's delight, apparently after only two rehearsals.

Songs:
Calendar Girl is always a treat. As is Ageless Beauty and Elevator Love Letter.

Wasted Daylight was a solid performance from the Five Ghosts release.

Your Ex Lover is Dead still hits the mark, and Reunion and One More Night remind how amazing Set Yourself on Fire was.

Take Me to the Riot sounded great too.
