Awful quiet here for a Canadian show.

Very good show.
As always was hoping for a rare nugget like Three Pistols, but no such luck!
At Trans and MMP kind of killed the initial buzz, but with the next 2 they definitely got the crowd back in it.
The FC portion was really cool to experience...songs like We'll Go Too and the Wherewithal aren't the big hits...but just really good tunes.
The whole album still stands up.
Managed to get row 1 tix right in front of Paul so the view was awesome, and Gord was right in our face for lots of the show.
Had to strain a bit to see Gord S and Robby on the far side, but there was no doubt Robby killed it during the outro to Bones...epic guitar work!
Couple thoughts, there was absolutely zero crowd interaction from Gord, and I'm fairly sure he played zero guitar during the show...just saying.
And I would say Gord's voice sounded pretty good...overall the sound was just Ok and I wonder it might have been better 10 rows back? no complaints though.

Got the roadie (possibly Billy Ray?) to snag Paul's set list so I'll add that one to the collection.
And the last footnote, we were sitting in an almost empty pub (Hudson's) around 12:30 when Robbie, Paul and Gord D all quietly shuffled in with a small group...
Didn't bother them for any pictures or anything, but had to at least comment "great show" to Gord and Robbie as they were leaving.
It was a good night!!
