Quite possibly one of the best shows I have ever been too, I was front row, my good friend who attended with me got to strum Gords guitar for the last half of Bobcaygeon.. She also got a hanky and lots of love all night from Gord, rocked out on leaning on the stage from Courage on, got the set list, all in all an amazing night. I will try to post some pics of my friend playing the guitar tomorrow...

oh and restlesssoul got dissed by Gord bad at the end of the show but I will leave that for him to tell....

[restlesssoul]

hahahah, it wasnt THAT bad.

anyways, in a previous thread i said i was gonna wear a canucks jersey....ended up wearing a habs jersey in the second row. lots of love from various fans...but gord is a bruins fan.

the lights go down the hip come out....gord comes right out to the side we are on, sees my jersey and stands in front of it bug eyed for a couple second and does an little exaggerated double take!! hahahha. not impressed.

the show was incredible sutie to open, poets, daddy, family band and then, the one ive been waiting for...ESCAPE. so great to get that song again...its such an amazing brilliantly written song. ABAC was a HUGE crowd pleaser sing a long.

i cant remember when, but gord beat the hell out of a microphone stand that thought he was a man....beat it to death then bent it in hald with his hands...also, a GREAT moment with a young lady in the crowd who was filiming him, she came closer and closer and gord was hamming it up for her...closer, closer and they kissed eachother right on the lips....really cool little moment.

I missed flamenco! was having beer and bathroom....! but made it back for fiddlers green. awesome. and, i mean, from there on in, just look at the setlist. it was ridiculous. locked in the trunk of a car is just unreal live. it should become a staple...that song is a powerhouse and people love it....then music @ work, red mosquito and I got to sing into the mic. If i had a choice i would have picked something other than orleans as the closer, but it still rocks. the show was amazing..being that close is just incredible, but there is an etiquette gord likes you to follow up there. you dont reach for hankies, he chooses who gets them, you dont take someone elses and all that...so near the end, he's right in front of my hands are just up in the air and he tries to whip a hankie out the a girl behind me, but instead stuffs it into my hands, i give it back to him immediately, he gives it to the girl and says " I would never give anybody in a montreal canadiens jersey a hankie, im sorry, thats just my personal belief" hahahahah it was pretty funny....anywasys...not that bad, i ended up getting a setlist, but will let red mosquito post the one he got, because its complete. it was both paul's that were taped to the ground. insane night....night III tonight...here we go!

pics to come.
