Cowboy Junkies - 2008-02-23 Massey Hall - Toronto, ON

Published by dcaley at 2:03 pm under Live Music

The Cowboy Junkies were in Toronto last weekend to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their Trinity Sessions recording with a show at Massey Hall. The band played the Trinity Sessions from start to finish and then after a very short encore break came back out and performed a few more songs. Unfortunately, Ryan Adams, who was scheduled to to perform with the band, did not make it due to illness. Everyone knows Massey Hall sounds great, but this show was probably the best sounding show i have ever been to, so far. The show was recorded by CBC Radio 2 and will air on May 11.
