Hey BendRick,
Not exactly a glowing report but that's OK, ya feel what ya feel. I'm pretty sure I understand where your coming from. The set list is always the same so I don't think Gord's intent is to dwell on anything in particular. That being said, many of his songs have always had a certain sadness to them. Combine that with watching him struggle with singing and playing and I can see where you leave feeling that way. The only time I felt any kind of sadness during a song was when he sang APPT. That one brought a tear to my eye (maybe two).

To end on a happy note...seeing Gord (in Napa) was one of the best concerts I've attended (for reasons already mentioned on another post) and I can't wait to see him again next year when he and the band make their way through California!
