I was doing the set-list til intermission, then I met and spoke with Kelly and his wife. He appeared to be much better organized than I. I have a tiny notebook and usually end up scribbling one song over another in the dark; then if I can make out the names, I have to decide which one came first. He said he would post the list here unless someone beat him to it. That has happened to me before too.

Very nice meeting and speaking to the Davis's. Cool custom made concert T-shirts too!

Last night's show was the first one I have attended where an audience member finished "Ribbon of Darkness" when Gord just lets the ending hang. It was on key, in time and sounded great. The crowd applauded and laughed, Gord looked up and grinned, gave a thumbs up....and then said "Like they say in Mexico, YOU sir are a wiener!"

Can't remember the last time I heard Christian Island done, the 70s, if ever.

Gord said he hadn't been to Springfield for 25 years. Asked how to pronounce Sangamon...got a lot of help from the audience.

Opened with the red smoking jacket, wore the black vest after the break.

I was thrilled he did If Children Had Wings. A big favorite of mine and since he's put it back in the rotation (and slightly changed the lyrics) I have only heard it one or two other times.

Gord was in a good mood and sounded great on most of the tunes. A bit out of breath on just a couple. Introduced the band twice, both halves. Before introducing Carter Lancaster the first time, made a mention of Terry's passing. The Straw Boss looked and sounded great with that new black bass and that big white ponytail.

First show in these later years (other than casino with no break) where I heard The Wreck open the second set instead of end the first.

All I can think of for now. A great show and a great time had by all.
