If he’d been billed as headliner rather than opening act, then you’d have encountered the OTHER great disappointment of that venue, the mandatory 11:00 lights-out, which prevents the multiple encores and late-night spontaneous jams so many artists, notably including EC, are known for. Common to all big Toronto venues of course, but especially galling at that place, which doesn’t even have any neighbours whose putative sleep might have been interrupted

(Given those constraints, his set list sounds absolutely perfect, just the mix you’d want to hear in an actually enjoyable and audible venue)
