No pictures here...but a comment.
I attended three of the four shows at Massey Hall last week end anjoyed them immensely.
There was one thing that did bother me unfortunately. I guess because digital cameras (and phones) are so small more and more people sneak them into the performance (even though a sign at the entrance says they are prohibitted) I can understand wanting to take a couple of pictures, some with the six string, some with the twelve string, maybe at the beginning of each set. Unfortunately I sat in front of someone who took pictures during the entire performance, sometimes several during a single song. Leaving aside the distraction of the flash the camera beeped after each shot, as most digital cameras do. The worst was during Sit Down Young Stranger on Saturday evening. As has been mentioned recently the volume at shows is not high. Gord was basically playing solo in the first half of the song and doing a wonderful job. And yet this person thought that would be a good time to share a beep with all around and take picture thirty or fourty something of the evening. I don't understand how or why people who apparently like the man and his music enough to be there would spoil the mood like that.
