and the show was amazing! Here are some of my highlights...

1. Got to meet Gord for the first time. About 5 hours before the show I caught him getting off the bus for sound check. And took a picture with him.
2. The bar was small, maybe 300 people. Of course almost everyone I talked to was either from Ontario or Buffalo. I watched the whole show up front, about 6 feet from the stage.
3. Nothing from IVL but who cares when you get to hear So Hard and Greasy. Amazing! I've always said they don't play enough from Day for Night so hopefully we'll be hearing more.
4. Only one encore. I guess Gord was exhausted. He was drenched with sweat from head to toe. But they totally brought the house down with Little Bones.
5. By the way....Sam Roberts kicked ass too.

I'll try to post a link to some pictures if anyone is interested.

Later

Not the best quality because I tried to avoid using the flash since I was right in front of him. I have a few video clips also but I don't know where to post them.

Thanks. I agree, concert photos look better with natural light. Besides there were a lot of flashes going off and it was probably a little blinding for Gord.

Flew from Buffalo, NY to see them in a small venue it was well worth the plane ticket!
