re: Canyon Club..

General admission standing room only at $58.50 before fees?..
Strange..

I saw Gord and the guys at the Barrymore Theater in Madison a few years back..
It was the only general admission (Gord) show I've been to..
but the funny thing is, it wasn't standing room, but rather an old converted movie theater..
The doors open and all these middle-aged people (like me) ran in to get the best seats (we ended up in row 3 as I recall)..
It was really weird to set the show up like that I thought, but it turned out to be one of my favorite Gord shows ever actually..
It was a Friday night in April a couple miles off State Street, and the crowd was really into it..
Loud bunch'a beer-drinkin cheeseheads on a Friday night..
We stayed in a hotel right across the street from the capitol building..
spent the night partyin on State Street..
It was my first time in Madison..
(been there several times since)..
Lightfoot and Band at the Barrymore Theater in Madison..
April, 2001..
Good memory..
