For those who will go to the show in Montréal:
you have to change your tickets, the show won't be at Parc Jean Drapeau, but at the Bell Center and the tickets are not the same. My sister, who will go to the show in Mtl, told it to me...

Sorry to tell you but Montreal just got cancelled along with several other U.S cities! The tickets prices are outrageously high in many cities. Not surprised:(

THAT is really bad news. I'm really hoping that the European, Australian, and Asian tours will not be shelved indefinitely because of this...

I have just been hit with a brick in the face. I refuse to believe it and must check it out. If it is true, then I will never be the same. I need time off now, sorry. I enjoy all of you on the site but I don't know anymore...

well shit... they pulled raleigh? even my backup show in charlotte, nc? oh well, seriously disappointed. if sarah doesn't do a solo tour after lilith, then she will lose cool points with me.

that is a disappointing set list... in some ways. it's always nice to see sarah live and i don't mind hearing these songs if i'm actually in the audience but it seems there are never any surprises with sarah... seldom does she ever re-invent her songs for different tours or even pull out some rare gems. you kinda know what to expect from her. i guess it's expected when you are a die-hard fan... i'm sure the casual fans are loving it.

i think it would be cool if maybe she adapted BAM to piano and "adia" or "angel" to guitar. i like how she goes back and forth with the WOF arrangements, band and piano versions. i also liked the new piano arrangement on IWRY she did on leno back in summer 09.

they canceled both shows in my area with the shortest drive being 1.5 hours. now the closest city for me is DC, which will increase my drive to 5 hours and the addition of overnight lodging costs. i'm bummed... i don't think lilith is going to survive after its 2010 leg. you list all these cities months in advance, everyone gets excited and BAM, they are canceled. most of us will say the highlight of attending is to see sarah... an artist we all love... sarah has not even announced or hinted at a solo tour so what if this is our only chance to see sarah live... she may shut herself away for another 7 years after lilith is over.

i have to say i'm a little disappointed with sarah. i know she tries but i wish she acknowledged her fans a bit more. i remember her saying in recent interviews that she doesn't have to work again if she chooses to and how great that feels at 42. i always thought that was a selfish comment to make when some people have lost their jobs or worried about losing their jobs due to the recession.

I've merged the comments posted in the Setlist thread about the dates canceled with this one.

It's sad it has all come down to this. With 3 shows done, there's pretty much around 20 more to look forward to. I'm sorry for those who were looking forward to the shows to having them being pulled all of a sudden.

I think all the kind of sales and the way they've been shifting around the locations have pissed a lot of people off. First they're charging high prices, then they're offering 2 for 1 tickets and suddenly there's a drop in prices by up to 50%.. I'd be pretty disappointed if I was one of the first to get tickets for a high price and weeks later people are getting them for half of I paid for
