Surreal and amazing show!
Highlights: The standing ovation during Vancouver Divorce, Steeplechase with the radio at the end, Gone and that manic theramin, and the two closers of the night, Chancellor followed by Insomniacs.

Yeah, so that was definitely worth the trip from Chicago. I may have more thoughts later, but I feel like I need some more time to process.

I am so wired right now I cannot sleep.Working on a Canadian and a Jaggerbomb! Got to bring the wife and another couple.Nice to see Chris,Sarah,Jeff.You would think I would be a little overdosed by now but this show was amazing.The venue sounded great,the band were up to the task of finishing the tour strong,GD was in great spirits and had his daughter in the audience,Gord brought Jeffs(the completist) son onstage, and the mood was great.Really warmed up this fan on a very cool night.Hate to face the down and waiting time for new Hip material but GD & TCOM really carried me all summer and into the fall.Summers Gone.
