Post your review.

Not a review, but....

Heading to the show shortly. Crossing my fingers for at least one of the following: Tiger the Lion, Frozen in My Tracks, Dire Wolf or Dark Canuck (either would be great), Honey Please, Sherpa or Put It Off.

Any one of those would make the show for me. Either way I am sure the set will be solid. Very excited about the acoustic portion. Emperor Penguin or Thompson Girl???? Add those to the wishlist above!

See you Western New Yorkers and Southern Ontarians on the gorge in a few...

I'm kinda bummed...this is the only show I'm not going to on the Artpark swing, and I talked myself out of buying last minute tix from a friend. All I care about at this point in my "Hip Career" is songs I've never seen, and this one already has 2 (Throwing Off Glass and Thomson Girl) and its not even done. Rats.

I take it, there was no opener. What time did they hit the stage?

[mintgreenbird]

no opener... about 8 10 i think

[slicee]

the shows are starting a few mins after 8pm. in artpark they have a nice person who walks around with w/a bell a few mins before the show starts so every1 can get to their seats ! As far as the show review from my point,,, Thompson Gil WOW I thin the last time I seen that was in the early 90s !!Gord & the boys should do an all acoustic show !!

[buffalorob]

Center, row F sounded like having heaphones on again (see Cleveland).
Seemed to be lots of repeats song wise from Cleveland too.
Venue notes: Made it home to West Seneca by midnight, like Cinderella. Why do people say it takes forever to get out of there? Police presence in parking lot beforehand seems like an incredible waste of money.

AGREED SOUND was fantastic tonight
