Good stories....
Annette...About the arguement you saw. It reminds me of the stories of GL perfoming early in his career in coffee houses when he was competing with the NHL hockey game of the week. He mentioned that it was paid rehersal. Same thing with your crowd. Did you ever notice how GL almost looks like he is in a trance in concerts when he is singing. He must be trying to remember the words, chords, and everything else.
Chris, I never knew GL toured with Christina Boyd. She is a classical guitarist isn't she? How did the crowd take her? By the way, the Good Brothers appear on some of GL's earlier albums, one for sure is "Old Dan's Records".
Steeler, what outdoor theatre did you see GL in and what year? Maybe you can share some of those pictures with us through Florian.
For many years in a row, my wife and I saw the Massey Hall concerts in Toronto, usually in the spring and I caught him once in the fall.
The Saturdays were brisk or cold in March. My wife and I spent the day touring one of the most beautiful cities in the world. We usually ended up in a pub (doesn't pub sound so much better than bar) or two enjoying good drink, food, and conversation with the natives who were always very friendly. As we made our way to the concerts, there was always an air of excitement in the streets outside Massey Hall. I remember how nice the people were dressed, how happy they looked, and I even remember a peanut vendor (Yes a peanut vendor!)selling hot roasted peanuts while we waited in line. In the cold of a Toronto spring evening, man, did they smell great! All this led up to a tremendous show. If you can ever get to the Massey Hall concerts, they are something special.
