Thanks all for the various updates of the tour.
It was a great show Toronto last night at the Opera House. Unlike , I think, pretty much all of you—it was my first Orb live show was this tour. Can’t say how it compares to the good old days, but it was an amazing set. I think Toronto provided a good welcome. The crowd was great. LX took a picture of somebody in the front wearing a cat outfit. Someone else had an alien gorilla-bunny thing going. (Star Trek?)
There were changes from earlier set lists. Once More or Plateau were not included. Here is what was:
1. Spanish Castles in Space
2. Outlands

Someone was there with a big camera filming the whole thing. Maybe there will be a 25th Anniversary dvd coming later…?
Meantime, here is a hobbled-together collection of my camera clips from the Toronto Oct 25 show…
