Roy, I remember watching that show that night and feeling so horrible for Gord. It was rudeness beyond belief the way Dylan firstly took forever to get on stage after Anne Murray introduced him and then he acted like he was doing the free world a big favour by showing up and it was a big inconvenience to him. I almost cried for Gord. Gord was very distracted by it all. His speech was long and full of little jokes that Gord enjoyed but the audience was lost. Whenever I see that tape I fast forward because it is still too painful to watch. I hope someone had the nerve to tell Dylan off when he ambled offstage like a stoned moron.
It ruined what I wanted to be such a wonderful night for Gord as far as I was concerned. I'm sure that Gord being the polite, laid back guy he is never said anything about it to Dylan or anyone for that matter.
It showed a total lack of class and respect on Dylan's part.
