"Just saw the show in toronto tonight. the band was great but, not trying to diss my own city, the crowd seemed too conservative or lacked enthusiasm, even."

"Great show. If there are any doubters out there upon hearing the album, they should try their hardest to see the band live. They seem to really enjoy themselves throughout the whole show, except noticed Damon upset at the end of the encore. The only regret is no merchandise at the show."

"Personally thought the show was great, but the crowd was somewhat dead it was like big chunks of people and out of 20 there would be 1 person thats feeling it and moving to the songs (me being one of them). i was near the front and damon stared at me for like 10 seconds cuz everyone else around me was just standing there like poles. also i realized when damon said "this is the kingdom of wat?" he was talking to the crowd, but no one said anything. he wasn't facing the audience i think that's why no one knew if i knew what he was intending i'd scream "f***ing DOOM!" ."

"Great show last night (in Toronto). It was a real treat to hear the album performed start to finish. Though I must admit you left me wanting more. I incited four of my friends to join me. We travelled in from the the small lakeside town known as Port Hope. Keep up the good work. Enjoyed the infective rhythms, only wish the crowd had been more animated. I don't know how anyone could stand still for such cool grooves!"

"Went to the Show in Toronto....it was amazing! I'm a huge Clash fan and getting a chance to see Paul live was incredible. It gave me chills. I love the entire CD, but the live show was even better. The mood was perfect, the sound awsome, and it was obvious these guys just love playing music. If u get a chance to catch them live....go!!"

"Fantastic show--go see them in person--phenomenal experience. Frankly, seeing Paul on stage slinging a bass again was enough for me...but Tony, Simon, Damon, the strings and the organ were all brilliant. GO!!!!"

"I saw TGTBTQ in Toronto last night. It was aweome, the band even exceeded my expectations! I dragged two friends along who were skeptical and coming for the hell of it and they have definitely been converted. My pictures didn't turn out particularly spectacularly, but I just wanted to say I had an awesome time!"

"Toronto show was bloody good! I thought I might have to go back over home to the UK to see TGTBATQ so this was perfect. Album tracks have definitely come together live...that's the beauty of being on tour. Really enjoyed the show and though I was awed to see Simmo, Albarn, Tong performing together - I was drop-jawed at seeing the one and only Tony Allen!! Legend!
Been trying to get Paul Simonon a mixtape of some rare reggae for ages now...missed my chance again due to over zealous security...flippin' heck I'm 42 years old for godsakes I'm not trying to mob the bloke haha! If one of you lot you can link me up in order for me to get it to Paul hit me over on my MySpace so I can get it to him otherwise I'll try and get it to him when I get to London in May. Cheers!"
