    Australian rockers 'Jet' made their only Canadian appearance in Toronto, Canada, on this leg of the tour. The boys hit the stage at 10:05pm and delivered a solid 80 minute set. They had a very simple stage set-up with the drums stage left, the keyboardist stage right and a massive black backdrop with the band name in silver. The venue was packed and the crowd was chanting and singing along. Starting with the third song “Beat on Repeat”, the drummer, Chris Cester, took on lead vocals and did so several times throughout the show. Frontman and Brother Nic Cester was spot on with his vocals and they both complement each other very well.
    This band is very tight and they perform with ease, no gimmicks or stage show, just straight ahead rock and roll. Louis Macklin from 67 Special joins the line-up live to add keys and percussion, making it a five piece band on stage.  At the merch table, Jet offered a one-of-a-kind autographed drum head that went to the highest bidder. It also had a huge maple leaf drawn on it, along with the venue and date. It was very cool looking.
