One week to go, can't wait! Saw them both nights at higher ground in april, pumped to see 'em again this year, this time on my birthday!

My HOPE is to hear TITANIC TERARIUM, KIDS DON'T GET IT and PIDGEON CAMERA-THREE PISTOLS to round out the night.

As I said, that's my HOPE.

Anybody driving down from Ottawa to see this show? Is this GA? I don't have tix yet, but am considering going. Dallas was my official last show of the tour as I will not be doing a New Year's gig if they so happen to do one (although in my opinion they will pass this time around), but still having an itch for one more, what's new......I guess we all kind of have this itch to 'get back again'

Great show. The best sounding hip show I think I have ever seen...tight and clear vox...there was one technical glitch going into gift shop I think...but most would have missed it. Weat kings and scared sounded good, but kinda sucked the air out of the room. The staples were terrific- 100th, fully, and courage really got the fans going. Highlight for me was family band, escape and locked. Gord was a sweaty mess as usual and continued the assault on his mic stand ala Townsend...breaking it up into pieces and giving them to the fans in the front, which from my perspective seems to enjoy showing off their surgically enhanced body parts...paul was stoic as usual, but those girls even made him smirk..gord thanked them at the end of the show. I was hoping for a 2nd encore, but when I heard grace I knew it was over.

good show. technical sound glitch at beginning of escape was overcome. during abac & wheat kings robbie started with acoustic guitar and switched mid song. he played acoustic guitar portion during wheat kings ( i think it was that song) with guitar strap resting over the back of his neck, guitar parallel to the ground, strings toward the ceiling. nice ending to the main set list with drop off, poets, locked, fire in the hole. scared was a great set up to that. johnny seemed almost mad at the drums at times. robbie fashionably dressed for the evening.
