My family of 5 was there Friday night. We were running late (drove 4 hours to get there). About 1/2 hour from Aurora I got pulled over for speeding (NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!). Praise the Lord, just a written warning.

We arrived to the front of the Paramount as Gordon is doing 'Let It Ride' ( we can hear it over the p.a. system out front). There is no worse feeling than listening to Gordon performing live from the sidewalk of a concert you are late for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, we got settled in for a great show. I think Gord's voice was fine Friday night. Got to hear "Sweet Guenevere" (almost a fast waltz tempo)and "Home From The Forest" live for the first time.

Meeting Gord and the band always makes the hassle all worth it. They were all very cordial. Terry sang my family part of a song from his late friend's album he is producing entitled "Posthumously Yours" (country format).

Got autographs and pics (I'll try to post them soon).
