Jay Schizoid on Instagram: "Dear The Internet I saw Life of Agony & Sick of It All last night @ Lee's Palace it was sure Swell Just got there as openers Spewgore had ended. I did intend to see some but with knee problem It was Okay with me to see a 2 bands Show. Lees was the most packed Ive ever seen it, Hundreds of people! Going out for inbetween sets joint was madness SOIA were on fucking fire. The first time I saw them was back in 1997. Then later 1997, 2001 2008 2018 so this was my sixth time There was more emphasis on older songs & the Scratch the Surface & Built to Last album which made it better than last time Consume, Maladjusted, Built to Last, Us Vs Them, Step Down, Scratch the Surface were all fiiire LOA I had seen them one other time 2019. This time they were playing the River Runs Red album which I bought in 1993 30 years ago LOL It was a really fuckin strong set, they know thats what we want from them. It was real emotional & I can't say I wasn't tearing up through like almost every song :~~~| The album is a concept album about a troubled teen who ends up offing himself @ the end of the album. Inbetween songs there is these vignettes where he hears answering machines from his boss, teacher, girlfriend, they're all firing/failing/dumping him. They had these vignettes inbetween those same songs, which was really powerful Only complaint about their show: At album end the teen he sl@#$ts his wr@#$sts & dies. @ beginning of 2019 Sound of Scars album u find out he lived & you hear the police arriving to resusitate him They played last RRR song The Stain Remains & then went right into the first post intro song from SoS. I think they should have introduced Stain..., played it, go off stage & let us hear the combined RRR outro & SoS intro, before coming back & doing Scars I was anticipating the end of the album when the kid dies. I see in other shows on this tour they did it its maybe kinda morbid but its like say watching Pulp Fiction & skipping the end "Honey bunny" part Maybe there wasn't enough time or something. If they did it'd be 10/10 otherwise It gets 9.5/10. #lifeofagony #sickofitall #toronto #leespalace #inertiaentertainment"
