Daniel Lanois with Brian Blade, "Alarm" at the Black Box, Great Hall, Toronto, March 24, 2012

The show finale is a tuned-in guitar jam with Daniel Lanois & James Wilson. Brian Blade perfects the trio. This was a show with a lot of heart! Thank you again.

http://music.cbc.ca/#/blogs/2012/11/Daniel-Lanois-works-his-guitar-magic ~ Daniel Lanois on CBC ~ "CBC Radio 2...offer[s] this great concert by the legendary Daniel Lanois. Adding to his many accolades, Lanois was inducted into the Canadian Music Industry Hall Of Fame last March. In celebration of that milestone, CBC presented a special concert, featuring Lanois and his trio (Brian Blade on drums, and Jim Wilson on bass).

Since the instrumentation is so sparse, we really get to hear Lanois' guitar work. Sitting on the more ethereal side of Neil Young, and flavoured with just a hint of his French-Canadian heritage, Lanois' guitar style occupies a place all its own. And when he plays the pedal steel guitar, or as he calls it, his "little church in a box," he might just make you weep.

Check it out online at Concerts on Demand, or tune in to the Nov. 22 edition of Canada Live, and we'll listen together." - CBC Radio 2, posted by Andrew Craig on Nov 21, 2012
