In Pictures: True Colours Paint the Waterfront Proud

Stopping at the Molson Amphitheatre last night, the True Colours tour didn't disappoint. The performers held nothing back (literally and figuratively(read on)) with stellar performances and much bittersweet gushing about how wonderful Canada is (though this is the only Canadian stop on the tour).
Photos from the show, after the jump...

Opening the show were The Cliks, playing to a welcoming home audience.

The Gossip won over some new fans and then received a standing ovation for a bold strip-down-to-the-knickers by lead singer, Beth Ditto.


The Dresden Dolls could have performed twice as long a set and still have the audience enthralled. Furthermore, amidst tough competition they may have had the best outfits out there.

Ms Deborah (Debbie!) Harry rocked out, and looked amazing though a little like a hot mama version of David Bowie. (Just me?)



Margaret Cho performed her usual politically charged yet side-splitting act in between performances. Here she gets into costume and teams up with Diana Yanez for a live rendition of their YouTube hit, My Puss. So hilarious.


Erasure hit the stage and suddenly the Amphitheatre went from a sit down, foot tapping, scene to a pride weekend dance-off. It was a great time, but my blazer is covered in anonymous boy sweat... anyone know a good dry cleaner?



Finally, True Colours leading lady, the always brilliant Cyndi Lauper.

Awesome shots Tanja! That lead photo is just great. And Debbie Harry looks better than I have seen her look in years!! So kickass.
If only Debbie Harry had been good. She was definitely the low point of the evening. They should have cut her from the line up and given the Dresden Dolls and the Gossip way more time.
Brokenengine - that was the last photo of the evening as Cyndi Lauper said a word of thanks to everyone, love for Canada, then raised her arm in solidarity with all those fighting for equal rights for all.
Courtney - I thought she was good but i didnt really enjoy her set as much as some others because she stuck so strictly to new material. I mean, c'mon, throw in a couple classics/hits in there like everyone else... it really draws in the rest of the crowd!
great to see such detailed coverage of such a worthwhile cause in all the cities publications too, especially liked the shot in NOW magazines UP FRONT section...rock on!
Beautiful shots! I agree with Courtney, The Gossip and The Dresden Dolls were the real highlights of the show... No offense to anyone.
