Charlene, you've done me a disservice by copying the contents of my carefully-written post to this forum - the link to my website would have been sufficient, I think.

I knew the 'doesn't sound as he did when he was in his 40's' comment would come up. Fair enough, but I paid a premium price for tickets - more than I've *ever* paid in the past to hear Gord (not to mention having to buy dinner to get a chair to sit on). And more power to him if he can sell the tickets (and he apparently can). I was naive to expect the same performance that I saw last time.

DSR, you and your friends are being disingenuous to imply that it's the same as it ever was. It's true that one could hear the words, and his speaking voice sounded fine, but I didn't pay to hear him talk. Was it an off night for him?

Don't get me wrong - I love Gord; everything he's ever recorded is on my iPod and is in constant rotation, I've attended more of his performances than any other artist, and overall I was happy to see him the other night. I just wanted to make sure that any Lighthead searching for some feedback got a realistic appraisal.

Great forum, by the way - cheers!
