When you have really high expectations, there is often disappointment. Not this time, though. Musically, Walk Off the Earth were just as brilliant as I hoped, and the performance actually exceeded my expectations, with fun moments like the tossing around of musical instruments, and the release of enormous balloons into the auditorium all adding to the atmosphere. Their own songs - ranging across many musical genres - are superb, catchy and clever (with one exception, see below), and their brilliant covers - they did a handful during the show - are deservedly admired for their innovation.
Two small points: 1) the heavy rock/rap song flopped. That combination just doesn't work. 2) We didn't see enough BEARD GUY! Beard Guy RULES!!! More BEARD GUY!

Favourite moment: Somebody That I Used to Know - live, was simply wonderful, but it may even have been eclipsed by the final song, Summer Vibe. @
Opening act(s): Dire. Worst I've ever seen. Don't know who he was. Sorry. @
