haha, that's something you can't fake or dress in any way
Tim, that LIB doesn't sound half bad although a bit more guitar would be fantastic, it sounded way too low. If you're into tribute acts then I'd say go (and make an A-3 sign telling them to bump the guitar up in the mix).
For those coming to Toronto, there are 2 different U2 Cover Bands playing on June 22 and June 23. I have seen both bands many times and both put on amazing shows. http://www.u2tributeband.com/ Elevation have played all over the world.
Of Course Acrobat the band that was on stage during the I&E Show https://www.facebook.com/u2tributelive/videos/t.100000863611602/1173416999396007/?type=2&theater
The Acrobat venue is almost across the street from the Rogers Centre. The elevation venue is further away but only a short cab ride away.
Update
Acrobat is playing at the Loose Moose and there is no cover charge. The Loose Moose is on Front Street less than 5 minute walk from the Rogers Centre.

They're really good. This is the explanation of the guitar version above:
I had the keyboard in the van but we had no plans to play it last night so I left it in the van (the stage was quite small). During soundcheck we tried the guitar version just to rehearse the tune, and in the end decided to play it that way. Tonight I'll have the keyboard though!
Hey Guys! So our U2 Tribute is finally off the ground again. Please head to our page and like it if you haven't already. I can't post the video because its only on our facebook, but we just uploaded "Streets". Please go watch and enjoy I had to post in here seeing as how I wouldn't be on that stage had it not been for the last 10? WOW...years with you guys. Enjoy! Ps...were called U2America.
