Then I thought of those dreadful white boots from the Salute album, but the more I looked, the more they looked like socks. I guess "That's what socks are for!"
Oh, well, I think most of us had a great time anyway.

Yes well Susan and I were extremly fortunate to find ourselves in the front row for not only the Northampton and Portland concerts but "much to our surprise" row DD at Boston turned out unexpectedly to be also the front row and not the 5th row as we had deduced from the ambiguous and downright misleading Orpheum Theatre web site seating plan. Hence we were in a priveleged position "never too close" to Gord's footwear and can state quite unequivocably that on all three nights he was indeed wearing white leather boots. In fact at Portland he used his right white boot to disentangle himself fron his guitar amplifier wiring and muttered something suitable aboot how useful his boots were for tackling wires. He later very nearly came a cropper when trying to exit the stage when he almost slipped on the same wires.
Overall we were most impressed at the vocal etc standard of the three concerts and Susan will probably add her ten cents worth later
I can also vouchsafe that these white boots were slightly rounded square toed and therefore definitely not the dated "dreadful" pointed "winkle-pickers " featured in the photo on the back of the Salute album sleeve
