I've seen ICP many times before in Upstate New York, as well as at the Gathering. The show in Oshawa was the best version of the Clowns I have ever seen on stage. I've been trying to pinpoint the main reason why, but I think it's a combination of several factors.

First, Violent J's weight loss has allowed Joe to be way more physical and engaged when he is on stage. Not sure how he did it, but full props to the big man.

Secondly, I believe on the same day as the Oshawa show, in the afternoon ICP filmed their epic interview with Shad on CBC's Q show. I think they still may have buzzing off that because J said repeatedly throughout their set that the whole day has been the shit for them.

The adrenaline of being back in Canada for the first time in forever helped as well, I'm sure.

The club was about 80 percent full, maybe 400 ninjas were there, and the extra room allowed me to navigate my way to the front of the pit, definitely the closest I've ever been to the Clowns during a show(not all of us have Scottie D levels of access.)

They threw way more Faygo in Oshawa compared to the next two nights. I was completely drenched head to do right off the grip, and the Faygo Armageddon completely destroyed my shoes. I did bring a change of clothes which came in handy post show.

The set list was a dope mix of old and new hits, and was covered by Rosco in this thread here-

Here are some snaps of ICP doing there thing in Oshawa, including a pic of a Juggalette who couldn't control herself, and kept on rushing the stage to try and give J a kiss-

Gonna rock some dinner, then I'll upload  photos from the Toronto show last night. Crowd was huge and moshing throughout. 

Pretty sure I caught Smack in some of the pics as well. It was so packed I never officially got to give the Frenchman a dap.

Here are a few snaps of the sound ninjas in Barrie working overtime to keep the club's soundboard dry during ICP's set.

Good shit miklo and daaaaayyyyum jerseys are $185 now?!?  

Thanks man.

Yeah they definitely bumped the prices for the Canadian tour, due to the exchange rate I'm sure.

I picked up a few items at the booth, but realized pretty quick it would be cheaper to wait for a Hatchetgear sale, lol.

they just put shit on sale so no need to wait! only for the weekend though!  

Nice!

I was at the ICP show in Guelph last night, they are starting to sell out of a lot of the merch already. Might not be much left by the time they get to the west coast of Canada.

They even bumped the prices on a few items, which caused a huge misunderstanding for me at the merch booth.

I was really gonna go on a huge tirade here in the forums and start another thread about Psychopathic's business practices, but "Matty" from Psychopathic's road crew heard me arguing with the merch guy, and he straight up made things right, as far as the merch I was wanting and what I expected to pay.

I know it sounds cryptic, but "Matty" told me he would appreciate it if I didn't put Psychopathic on blast.

Needless to say, he didn't want me to photograph the price guide at the merch booth, he threw a shirt over that shit when I tried to.

If taking a picture of the price of merchandise is "putting psy on blast" it DOES sound like some seedy shit is going on. What about other juggalos on future dates who want merch? Shouldn't they know how much to expect to pay for it? 

You may notice at the top of the thread- they had no problem with me snapping a pic of the OG price guide they had posted on Tuesday.

According to the merch dude, the prices were "adjusted" in Brantford last Friday night.

Needless to say they did not want me to take a photo of the new price guide in Guelph on Saturday.....

because I really wanted that Canadian Tour T-shirt but they only had size 5X and above left shit looked like a blanket

and I would have paid 185$ for that ICP/NHL orange hockey jersey but they only had 2XL left of that one.

Yeah man I noticed they were selling out of a lot of the cds and shirts at the merch booth, guess they underestimated our buying power up here.

They definitely didn't bring enough merch.

Hope the Faygo doesn't run out.

they'll have more merch.  

I'll be on the west coast next week to see them in Vancouver and Victoria, so we'll see I guess.

Hope they do.
