Oh. My. God.
Oh, the word love simply does not begin to cover the depth of my adoration for the Barenaked Ladies. In my personal opinion, I think they got shafted on this tour, because even if they were co-headlining, a lot of the accessories to their set were used to set up for hers. Even still... oh. my. god.
The show started an hour earlier than I'd thought, and after I realized this, I panicked and decided it was time to go. As such we reached Hollywood with plenty of time, and found a neat little hole-in-the-wall Japanese restaurant for an easy dinner. It actually ended up being cheaper than a place like Applebee's would have been, and good food in a nifty atmosphere. We headed up to the theatre in the park, and were introduced to the joys of stack parking. You get put in directly behind the row of cars in front of you, on the reasonable assumption that everyone will be leaving at once, so they don't leave each individual car the luxury of its own exit vector. We made our way to the amphitheatre, which was exactly where I hadn't expected it, and headed in. I got another BnL shirt, which MacKenzie actually still has.
The Greek Theatre, for those that haven't been there, is a nifty venue. Outdoors, but curved and shaped nicely so that even from the back, the stage feels closer than it really is. We were about seven rows from the very back - sadly, that's closer to front than I was at the Pepsi Center.
What follows is a play-by-play, blow-by-blow, song-by-song review of their entire set. You have been warned.

Alanis played a not-bad set, though I didn't pay as much attention because I wasn't there for her. A surprising amount of the stuff was off her first album, though, even though she's grown up and matured since then.
For those in the Denver area, this tour hits Red Rocks on Monday. I highly reccomend that you go. Yeah.
