Wolf Parade at Metro
Waiting for Wolf Parade.
Wolf Parade MP3s
Wolf Parade were really loud and really good. I wish Metro had turned down the instruments a tad and boosted the vocals. They were a bit washed out. That being said, Wolf Parade put on a fun show and the crowd was definitely into it. Metro is an intimate venue with an impressive 36-speaker EV system that will blow your eardrums out. I just wish there were more chairs. Still, it wasn't too bad on the balcony and I had a clear view of the stage. They played all their best tracks, including my favorites: "Dear Sons And Daughters Of Hungry Ghosts" (if I remember right, they opened with this), "Shine a Light", "You Are a Runner and I Am My Father's Son", "I'll Believe In Anything" (which closed their regular set), and a mind-blowing marathon version of "Dinner Bells" (yes, even longer than the studio version; this closed their encore). They also played some new songs, whetting our appetite for new studio material.
