Did merch last night for a wicked show at the Starlite room. Peter Elkas and Joel Plaskett. The place was as hot and packed as I've seen it in a long time. Peter Elkas as the opening act won over the considerable crowd and there was a singalong worthy of any headliner to finish off his set.

Joel Plaskett rocked the place. He played lots of the new record and plenty of "hits". The crowd was obviously loving every minute of the long set and three (four?) encores and there was so much crowd participation that even from the merch booth in the far back corner you could feel that love! The show was great, really tight,  and fun and loose at the same time.

I used to go see Joel Plaskett pretty religiously when I lived out east but haven't caught a live show in years... I will definitely be going to the next one, and Peter Elkas as well!
