    I saw this video last week, as you know, Wilton, and I think it's awesome! I hope you have a great time at the show. If I lived anywhere near that area within a day's drive, I'd be in attendance. Break a leg!

    Excellent! The music was grand enough but you're better looking than a lot of the girls I used to date! Nice closing shot of the city...

    Thanks Rick.
    You're not the first one to say I looked good as a girl. I never know whether to take that as a compliment or not.

    Will be going to the show in Feb. Caught the one last December and it was great. I urge anyone in Toronto to go, especially those that complain about ticket prices these days. You get a lot of great music for your buck guaranteed.

    Hey everybody, just giving this the bump it deserves.

    A great evening of music in a comfortable, affordable atmosphere with drinkable beer. What more could one ask for

    Post Video Release Show Wrap Up Blog

    Just relaxing after the show last night. Over all it was a fantastic evening if I may say so myself. Opener Steve Cochrane who was joined by vocalist Aimee Matuszczak did a great job with his acoustic set. I really enjoyed his renditions from songs off of La la la Variations on a Happy Song, and The Purist of Designs. Thanks again Steve. Check him out at http://www.spiritcompass.com/

    For my own set I thought the band and I played really well. Sure there were a few flubs and bulbs by all of us, but it is live after all. A huge thanks once again to the band - Chris Reid on Guitars, Deb Ray on Bass, and Richard Rizzo on Drums. Also many thanks to Janelle Eisler for mixing sound and not pressing the "Suck Button". Thanks to my wife Kerry for greeting everyone at the door and taking your money. Thanks to the Black Swan venue for having us play again and again. And of course and most importantly, thanks to all who came out to the show. There were a few newer faces in the audience which is always a great thing.

    Nice review by Doug Leblanc who runs a Yahoo Prog Group with an emphasis on Canadian Prog.

    Wilton Said… Live at The Black Swan

    WOW!!! Wilton Said's show at the Black Swan last Saturday was incredible! They just keep getting better and better! They have improved after every show, but this was amazing! Delightful playing by the band, especially Chris Reid on guitar. He was at his clever best, subtle when he needed to be, but fiery and powerful when the music called for it! Also making a strong performance was Deb Ray. The last time he played with the band he was still new, and obviously struggled a bit with Wilton's complex compositions. This time, though, his playing was strong and powerful!
    On drums is the always enjoyable Richard Rizzo. He brings so much to each performance, soft and melodic at times, thundering and exciting when called upon!
    However, the big star of the performance was Wilton himself. His voice is stronger than ever, his ability to entertain was nothing short of dazzling! He always puts on an enjoyable show, but his showmanship is better than ever. He really seems to enjoy playing live, and puts so much into his shows. The light-hearted songs were delightful, although I must admit to being a bit disappointed that there were no costume changes during `Pretty' . I thought a bit of frockery, maybe even a wig, would be in order. Nope, all we got was a feather boa. A very nice, pretty red feather boa, but just a feather boa all the same. At one point Chris was adorned with said feather boa, but it simply ruined his Harry Potter look. Eventually it found its way off stage, hopefully to go on to lead a fulfilling life that feather boas aspire to. We can only wish it well.
    However, Wilton Said at their most serious side were awesome! The classic `Empty Sky' was perhaps a shade understated compared to past performances, but the finale of `Half Life', the title track from the latest album, was nothing short of utterly magnificent! I was blown away by the passion, the fire with which they performed this powerful song.
    A great show, again orchestrated by Wilton himself. The band definitely benefited from a longer set, and hopefully this is the start of bigger things for them. There was also a sizable crowd this time, which was a delight to see, for a change. We can only hope this will not be the last of such shows, because they bring prog music alive.
