For those of you that arn't fortunate to get CBC TV, apparently the event will also be available by webcast on CBC.ca.

Enjoy! I know I will! :)

That's awesome. Really it is. I was so glad to hear that artists would be taking a part in this disaster and work towards ending it. The world is suffering enough as it is, with Africa nearly crumbling to its death and Bush bombing the Middle East, the Tsunami just pushed it over board. And I think it's GREAT that Sloan is going to be a part of that. Honestly, and with all my heart, you guy's just rock and I hope you continue on bringing your music to your fans, because we all support you 100%.

Wow. Going old school with Pen Pals. Right on. I notice the moustaches were gone. Probably for the best I suppose.

Very nicely done boys!! You prompted me to go donate some for the cause!!

It was nice to hear Penpals.... I was stumped thinking what you would play. I enjoyed your performance a lot. It was such a treat to see you perform on TV again, and for such a charitable reason (beyond the charity of feeding us Sloan-addicted fans).
I hope it was an enjoyable night for you as well.
Thanks again! :)

Sloan, your performance tonight was magic and it almost made me cry. How on earth did you chose Penpals after all these years? What a great unabashed guitar rocker! I used my DVD recorder and watched it eight times in a row.

P.s. the band looks great!

Very nice, boys!! Great show for a worthy cause. Considering the nature of the performance I was expecting 'Pick it up and Dial it' :P. I look foward to some more Sloan action comming up. Keep up the good work.

Good, solid performance last night guys. I too couldn't figure out as to what you were going to play, and was pleasantly surprised by Penpals. I noted that alot of the other performers played their latest singles or whatever, so it was nice that you dug deep into your catalogue. I have to admit though, I was dissapointed that Chris jettisoned the moustache. I was looking forward to seeing that thing on national television!! Thanks once again for the show guys, good luck to you in the studio!
