Audience Audio





Silverchair ended up celebrating the release of their second album by heading straight out to the United States for a series of dates on the east coast. But before they did so, the band played a well known Intimate And Interactive show in Toronto, which was broadcast on the MuchMusic network. Now, just a day after making an appearance on the Late Show with David Lettermen, the band performed in a somewhat intimate environment at a Virgin Megastore.



This is an audience recording of pretty solid quality. Only complaint would be all the female screaming, but that seems to be most times drowned out by the music. Daniel's mic cuts out on him at the end of Abuse Me, which might be caused by the crowd pushing toward the stage and disconnecting the PA. This is quickly fixed and addressed by Daniel, who not only requests that each row take two steps back (which didn't work), but that fans take pictures now in between songs. I am guessing no one listened, seeing as though somebody got on the mic, and said that the band would not play until people followed instructions. Same issue occurred during the next song Freak.



Adding to the crazy atmosphere, the band was supposed to sign autographs after the performance. While it is unconfirmed if they did end up signing for fans, Daniel states before The Door that instead they are going to play longer. This sounds like a good trade off. Of the three extra songs, we have everything but the end of Israel's Son. There is no known full recording.





The setlist was :



01 - Slave

02 - Leave Me Out

03 - Abuse Me

04 - Freak

05 - Suicidal Dream

06 - Cemetery

07 - Tomorrow

08 - The Door

09 - No Association

10 - Israel's Son
