Let me start out with a quick word about the venue. I've been to hundreds of concerts in lots of different venues in my life. I have to say that The Bear's Den at Seneca Niagara Casino (were I saw this show) has to be my favorite. It is small and intimate. The sound is great! Plus every seat affords you an excellent view of the performers.
Now lets talk about Kim Mitchell and his band. Including this show I've seen Kim four times. All four shows have been several years apart, and the set lists have been very diverse. Of course he played most of his hits, Go for a soda, Rock N Roll Duty, Patio Lanterns and Lager and Ale, but he also dug deep for a bunch of songs. It was nice to hear a couple Max Webster songs, Paradise Skies and Blue River Liquor Shine. He also dug into his solo arsenal. Getting to hear In My Shoes was a treat as well as a cool version of Alana Loves Me with Peter Fredette doing vocal duties. The band was solid as usual. Featuring as I mentioned Peter Fredette on Bass and vocals, Chris Sutherland on drums and vocals, and Ray Coburn on keyboards. Of course what can I say about Kim Mitchell. The guy is a legend. In my opinion he is one of the most under rated guitar players in the world. Don't believe me? Check out any of his solo album work. There is just blazing guitar work all over his recordings. This was easily the best of the four times I've seen Kim and the guys play. Do yourself a favor and take in a Kim Mitchell show if you ever get the opportunity!
