Can anyone sum up what he said?

I couldn't really hear him on the scope?

The sound is actually pretty amazing.
This guy is way up in the bleeders, over a cell phone, and, listening in Las Vegas, I think it probably sounds wicked in the building.
I'm loving the fact that they've put so much into these shows.
Amazing.
Tight.

To paraphrase: "Thank you Calgary for all the shows you came to. You're a beautiful town. Beautiful people. How's everybody doing? You guys ok?"

I didn't quite catch the rest.

Long shot is Vapour Trails, but it's probably Escape and Poets (not that there's anything wrong with that!)

edit: silly me forgot about Bobcaygeon

Thanks to those on the base. Great to enjoy all these shows together. Lonely in merica sometimes. Don't know any Hip fans locally.

He also thank the first 12 people that saw them, and the next 32, and hi to the 60 something. Might have the numbers wrong

I'll bet Fully Completely finishes off the show. I'm gonna guess Courage and Meridian.

Is it ok for me to say I think this was the worst show so far?

Maybe this is better, I would have wanted to be at this one the least.

I think overall they are getting really tight. You sense mid season form or mid tour form is here.

Are you talking setlist-wise, or performance-wise? Cause I think both were excellent tonight. Also, Gord's singing was better tonight than Monday's show.

I agree his voice was great. I thought they played amazing tonight. The crowd was good.

I guess it's a setlist thing. On this tour it probably doesn't matter if you're there what they play.

Watching all the shows from my couch, I just enjoyed this one the least.
