Waited a long time to see them and it was FUN!
I've had alerts out for a long time to see the Barenaked Ladies and finally got the chance. They were having a ton of fun up there and it was a great show. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because for some strange reason they did like 4-5 covers of other bands songs????? What were they thinking?! We came to see you!!! Not those other bands and you have soooo many songs we love that really no excuse there. For the rest of your tour, please just play your stuff - It's what the people want!

BNL were, as usual, a great band and K T Tunstall, who we hadn't known was to be on the program, was also excellent. We've been big BNL fans since hearing them on radio in Ithaca, NY, in the mid-90s, and seeing a GREAT comcert of theirs there in 1996. We didn't think BetterThan Ezra added anything. More time for the others would have been better.

One of the best summer shows
The Barenaked Ladies, never disappoint. They almost put on a fun, energetic show. They encourage audience participation and engage with every song. The performed a classic set of hits and new material as well as covered a few favorites with the help of KT Tunstall and Better than Ezra joining them on stage.

Play the Hits!
Too much new music, not enough of the songs we all know and love. Half new songs is ok but 90% ?

Great show
My wife has been a fan for years and has seen them live before. I have always enjoyed their music but had never seen them live until last year. We had so much fun at their show we had to go this year. Hopefully it becomes a yearly event. First time going to Bule Hills too, what a great venue.

Not the same without page but still fun
Bnl still delivers an entertaining and fun show. They performed a long set but much of it was newer and obscure songs that were difficult to get into. They mixed in some hits and impromptu songs that made it worthwhile. All in all very good. Really didn’t enjoy better than Ezra as an opening act. The lead singer was way too into himself. Even if he’s a friend of the bad, he was annoying.

Bio
Barenaked Ladies on Tour
The Barenaked Ladies have been honing their musical and comedic chops since playing gigs around Canada with a comedy troupe in the late 1980s. Starting out as an acoustic duo, they quickly expanded into a full-fledged band and became well-known for their fun and dynamic live shows, where they’d throw in some of their improv and rapping skills. Since those early shows, the Ladies have been performing nearly continuously on tours that have crisscrossed the globe. Since 2004, they’ve been especially focused on the environment, offering eco-friendly options at their shows and using biodiesel to get around on the road.
Barenaked Ladies in Concert
With an amusing mix of pop, rock, sincerity and humor, the Barenaked Ladies are one of Canada’s most endearing exports. Over the years, they’ve been in a constant state of evolution, scoring hit singles in the ‘90s, contributing theme songs for TV shows like The Big Bang Theory and Odd Job Jack, releasing a holiday album, dropping an award-winning children’s album and even creating a popular fan cruise (called “Ships and Dip”). The band started humbly enough in the late ‘80s, as just an acoustic duo, featuring vocalists and schoolmates Ed Robertson and Steven Page. The name Barenaked Ladies started out as a joke, but ended up sticking — and the fact that it came off slightly scandalous ended up being to their advantage. After adding brothers Jim and Andy Creeggan and drummer Tyler Stewart to the mix, the band self-released The Yellow Tape EP in 1991. It proved to be a big success, mostly via word of mouth and their live shows. That same year, they were invited to perform at the New Year’s Eve concert outside Toronto’s City Hall, but were denied by then-mayor June Rowlands who denounced the band’s name as sexist. This minor controversy only raised the Ladies’ profile, and The Yellow Tape became the first independently released album to go platinum in Canada. They subsequently signed with a major label, Sire Records, and released their debut album, Gordon, in 1992. Folky singles like “If I Had $1,000,000” and “Brian Wilson” would become some of their most popular songs, but it’d take a few more albums before the Ladies finally topped the charts with 1998’s rapping sensation “One Week.” Going into the 21st century, the band would continue on an impressive recording spree, especially once they went back to being independent and created their own record label, Desperation Records. They released a few popular themed albums, including 2004’s Barenaked for the Holidays and 2008’s Snacktime! for kids. Even after original member Page left the band in 2009, the Barenaked Ladies have continued on, with albums like 2017’s Fake Nudes, and a number of tours around North America and beyond. In 2018, they were inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame after 30 years as a band.
