So one of the first things that Gord told the audience was that he had "walking Pneumonia" and ,of course, I heard "rockin' Pneumonia" until he said it again. But the show must go on and it did not seem to degrade the performance at all in my opinion.
Lizanne has a setlist but she isn't here and I see it's already posted at lightfoot.ca! Pretty close to all the recent shows and that's fine as fine can be.
Lovely venue but it was pretty hot last night. It's right at the end of a pier in Baltimore's Inner Harbor with plenty of food and beverages for sale and ample "facilities".
The crowd itself was on fire and there were at least three standing ovations and it seemed to help him press on.
So the first time I meet TheWatchman and it's the first song Gord plays, nice!
Al and his daughter were lovely and the four of us had a nice chat before the show leaning up against the stage like we owned the place. Seats were great and one plus... we were quite near the speakers needed to push the sound into an open air tent venue and it was great, sort of like being midway back at a rock show, nice and loud.
Y'all know all this but just from my opinion the band is acting more like a band these days. Rick and Carter doing backup vocals a bit more and Gord and Carter doing more stand-up close together with guitars nearly touching. Don't know if it's a trend but we saw it twice within a week. I like it.
We met JBrew and her husband and that was nice that she braved a friendly hello at intermission. It's why I try and post my seat locations.
As soon as I remember how to post pictures I will...
Bill
