Peepshow tour

The Peepshow tour was a music tour of the United States by Barenaked Ladies from October 21 to November 29, 2003, in support of their album Everything to Everyone. It included 26 shows in 26 cities. The tour was a significant departure from the traditional structure of the band's concerts, and was the start of a trend among their tours. The tour was followed immediately on December 1 by a series of holiday-themed shows not considered part of this tour.

Notability

The tour was notable for a variety of aspects.

Two sets + Q&A

The band played two sets with an intermission, and had no opening act (sometimes joking during the second set about the "opening act" (their own first set). This afforded the band an abundance of time relative to their traditional one-set concerts. While a normal show would include approximately 20 songs, the Peepshow concerts included as many as 29 songs at one show, with most shows having 27 or 28 (five shows had only 25 or 26 songs). The shows also included a 15-20 minute question-and-answer period in which the band would respond to several questions posed by randomly chosen audience members, which sometimes resulted in extra songs or parts of songs being played. The shows still included many of the band's trademark banters and improv raps.
