I think it was Ravinia in Illinois around 1982-83. Outside amphitheater style, we had seats under the pavilion. It was a perfect day.

When Gord started into The Wreck, the sky let loose with a barrage of thunder and lightning! It was a surprise to us, as it had been sunny all day. The rain came down in droves; a five minute thunderstorm, and it was over before Gord finished the song.

I chatted with Gord backstage at Massey in '96 and he remembered that show some 15 years earlier.

So it's right up there with all my favorite venues...
