Mystery in Montreal 11/20/16--review please?

[rickawakeman]

We were supposed to be seeing Mystery last night in Montreal until my recent surgery got in the way. Very disappointed as I love the new album and vocalist. We were also going to see their opening set for Neal Morse last time he played in Montreal but their set was nixed due to time constraints owing to Neal's border debacle. Did pick up the double live from Michel at that show. Glad I saw them (with Benoit) at FMPM but still bummed. Please let me enjoy vicariously via a review?

What was Neal's border debacle?

The driver of the tour bus was denied entry at the US/Canada border. IIRC, a new driver had to be sent. We were at the venue (La Tulipe) when the bus arrived. As a result, the meet and greet scheduled for before the show was moved to after the show (and after the band had a chance to scarf some pizza) and Mystery was cancelled.

Casey McPherson had some border issues that year as well before he was supposed to do a solo set at the Marillion convention iirc.
