So, I was listening and watching, but not paying attention to details - did the band forget to stretch out the end of 50 Mission Cap, or did they stretch it but Gord forgot he had a "costume change"?

(or did they just add the option of "stretched out intro" to the last album section of the main set, instead of what they have done so far?)

There was a long intro to Gift Shop, Gord left the stage and came back.

Nautical for the closer perhaps?

Gord being a bit tough on his own performance in that closer - unnecessary, great show. Has Rob ever sounded better?

Man, there have been some incredibly epic performances of Grace, Too on this tour so far. That song is a f'n beast.

Well, no one else is likely going to say it, so I'll be the one to rag on the guy with cancer - Gord's singing tonight was not a the level of the previous 3 shows.

However, to clarify - we're talking along the lines of maybe 85 tonight out of 100 as opposed to 90+ the other nights.

(also to clarify - any difference in "grading" is almost exclusively for the WATS songs; not sure if he had monitor issues or something, but they sounded "off" at points)

Leaving Victoria to sit on its own - to my ears, it was almost like he was singing in a different style, possible playing it safe for the opener?

Kind of a mellow closer - wonder if they'll "amp it up" like they do when they end with ABAC.

(sorry for the "attitude" - haven't had dinner yet; waiting until the show is over)

I, for one, am only grateful that Eric goes out of his way to film these shows for us. Thank you, Eric! You rule. And your singing is not THAT bad.

Emotional closer tonight.

I missed tonight's show. Was out with family. Just looked at the setlist. OMG Coffee Girl. That must've been an awkward surprise. Why was Gord being hard on himself? Not as good as the last couple shows? Debating whether to watch Eric's stream. It's getting a little late.

I watched the whole thing and only heard maybe two lines that were messed up. I don't know what he's going on about.

Also I couldn't make out what he said.. anyone?
