I don't know. I think the problem with Dylan's shows (though I love them) is that he can do 12 obscure songs (that you could hardly recognize anyway, since he does them all so differently now) and then 3 or 4 of the hits. I think Gord plays what he knows people have come to love over the years, and then adds in a few songs like "Never Too Close" or "Spanish Moss." I think that's a better way to go.

I'm also glad to see he's still playing songs from "Waiting for You." For the life of me I'll never understand why that album has gone so unnoticed (out of print already, if I recall).
