Default Re: RICHMOND VA-July 20-2014

I was going to post the set list for Richmond but I see Ellen beat me to it. So, I'll just add a few comments. It seemed to take longer for Gord's voice to warm up that in recent (within the past year) concerts I've been to. The 1200 seat theater looked like a sell-out. I was worried about this since they've been running a lot of ads for the concert lately which is often a sign that ticket sales were soft. At least twice Gord had to squirt some sort of nasal spray up his nose and at times he would step back from the mike and take deep bows when here was no applause almost as if he was draining his sinus. This may explain his weak voice. The over sound mix was too low for my taste. We were in row H of the orchestra so the sound should have been stronger. And, as usual, the lead guitar was a tad too low. There were several loud cries from the audience for requests towards the end (Pony Man and Trilogy). Again Gord said that he'd only played Much to My Surprise only two or three times. 14 Carat Gold came off without a hitch this time. On the way out I heard a guy asking an usher where the GL merchandise was.
