For those who follow these things, Raincoat1 has just uploaded a recording of this show to Dime. Whilst a few tracks from the opening concert of the 2008 tour in Fredericton were made available on a Record Store Day special vinyl in 2012, I believe this is the earliest complete recording to emerge from the 2008-2010 tour. Full details of the recording below.
I was at the show in the 1,000 seater Rebecca Cohn Auditorium and I can confirm that the atmosphere and concert were both amazing!!
