DQ, i agree throughout but i do like the prior live arrangement tempo changes in CRT including the downtempo section...with that said, there is not much i like about GG1...or GG2
i don't like the predominant percussion in Clouds of Loneliness or Rather Press On (man, that races with little groove, imo)...but i always love Barry in Restless!
the best percussion mix i ever heard was when i was in the nosebleeds at Massey
Wild Strawberries is quite a composition....talented young Kenyon was once (ok, several times) over at my place and out of the blue, broke fully into an acoustic rendition that lead to a newfound appreciation for the tune, on my part
Cold on the Shoulder never gets old (even with Gord's 'old' voice)...its 100% cool
i do really love Gord's new phrasing at the end of Beautiful... "to be the one"
stretching out "one" into 3 syllables...reminds me of his "lo-oo-ong" vocal at the end of River of Light... won't see that one live again i imagine
i think i have about 97 more observations after watching those 25 videos...i'll spare all
