San Francisco was the last of the warm-up gigs, and the following day Simon (Shaun & Mark) headed to Vancouver. There they’d meet up with the tour bus that they would be calling home for the next few weeks. Simon will be supporting (solo acoustic) HEART on the Canadian leg of their FANATIC Tour from Mar 9 – Mar 25th.
Life on the road – the Tour Bus
Over the past few solo shows, Simon’s been perfecting the setlist for this tour – one that translates well to new ears. It is a killer selection with a great flow: Looking Out Lookin In; Leaving This Town; She Asked Me; Bed Of Roses; Denial; The Way It Is; Ecstasy Heaven; I’m The Answer; Forever And A Day.
Immediately following his set, he will be signing CD’s at the merchandise table – Look for the LIFE SIZE banner. He will also be handing out DOWNLOAD CARDS – be sure to grab one!!

“Townshend, who is the younger brother of The Who’s Pete Townshend, delivered a set that suggested he should be headlining his own tour. Wonderfully crafted songs performed with the confidence and maturity that only comes from possessing considerable talent and exercising it in public for years and years. Brilliant opening set.”
