Has the texting been figured out for this show, if not I'll throw my metaphorical hat in the ring.

I've seen 30-40 show since 1992 and this was the best show I've ever seen them do. WOW it was fucking fantastic!

Well it couldn't top last night in my books, but it was another fine show nonetheless. After being up in the sweatbox that was the gallery last night it was nice to be down in the fresh air of the floor tonight. Josephine has always been my favourite song off of IBE so I'm glad they've brought it back from the dead. The acoustic set was top notch once again, and the Bobcaygeon/Nautical combo was worth the price of admission as per usual. That's it for me until Hamilton in the fall, although seeing tickets still available for Tuesday night is highly tempting...

Agreed.

Gord was quite the entertainer...a top notch show.

Nice to see him recover from wiping out on stage. ;)

Gords voice was strong, the sound mix was very good tonight....the crowd better than 1 & 2, eldorado with messy lyrics still just right and then there was 3 Pistols.
I 've seen many a "Verge" or other oldies where they blast thru or Gord changes the Tone....not tonight that 3 Pistols at one point took me back to a younger Rock'in, stripped down Hip.... it was close to the CD with some raw sprinkled in there... it was heavy.

Finally the 1st star goes to Bobby Baker

The Man "owned" the show... he set up a shop in his corner and played guitar like there we're scouts in the house. geeez!

This was a different show for me over 1 & 2 ( I wasn't at 3 so this is all I have to hang on to for now)

See you live on the acoustic set tomorrow!

They all sounded real tight. Johnny kicked some serious ass...

Also "tight" was Security. They were a bit over the top...even though the crowd was very well behaved.
