Yea, you could tell he was trying hard to hold back tears. Absolutely heartbreaking.

swap out the World Container set for a Fully Completely set and I think we're close to the Kingston set

Great show, although the streaming issues took me out of it a bit. Hopefully it's better on Wednesday, and if not, only 9 days until I see 'em IRL.

In a line up of cars exiting the saddledome. Gord tearing up was heartwrenching. From behind the stage you could see him wiping the tears as he walked off the back. I def cried a single tear during Grace, ok 2 tears - or was it 4 or 5? Just an incredible moving experience. Unreal.

Great show, never seen the Dome that packed. Not gonna lie though I was a little disappointed in the set list. I'm going Wednesday as well so I can live with tonight's set list, gotta be disappointing for those who are not going Wednesday though

There are no words. That would've been a great show without the circumstances; given the circumstances it was simply staggering.

I'll be on CBC Radio at 7:20 tomorrow morning talking about the band and the show. Tune in!

So I was able to upgrade my ticket yesterday and got first row on the side. Ended up getting this at the end of the show from the light guy. I had nose bleeds before and glad I upgraded as we were able to have some interaction with Gord and Paul. Was really surprised they left IVL out and played WC, but I love WC so that was a pretty good surprise.

Yet another amazing performance by Das Hip. 3 shows in 5 nights is a little slice of heaven to be sure. We sat in the very top row behind the stage for this one and I felt just as connected as when we were in the front row for edmonton #1. Gordie rocking the Cobain style shades during Grace was off the charts! My moment in this one came during Giftshop... as he pointed right at me in the top row each time he sang " from high up above!" . :lol: I know everyone has that moment during a show when we feel that extra personal connection with Gord, he is so fucking good at that. Go to as many shows as you possibly can hipbasers!

I'm going to speculate that while IVL seemed like the logical choice to make the setlist, it was put off in favour of a Phantom Power set as Steve Berlin was at the show.
