A must for Canadian music, Gord Downie, visited the Circle on October 22. Narrative of a show unfortunately very common.
A few hours before going to the concert, I walked on the Internet to read reviews of the tour of Gord Downie and The Country of Miracles. I was particularly intrigued by an article in which the author responded to say the least lukewarm to the group's performance in Sherbrooke. Listening to The Big Bounce, the latest album from training, I wondered how anyone could be bored in the company of leading by The Tragically Hip, known to be inexhaustible energy on stage.
Later, when Gord Downie appeared before the crowd, I thought that the critic had frowned SEE Eastern Townships, he had really put his finger in the eye. What ignorance, what lack of respect to speak ill of a pillar of Canadian music!
Over the songs, I quickly changed my tune. His poetry, his presence and charisma were at the rendezvous, but the music side, it was passable. Not bad, just ordinary. The group looked more like a band of musicians picked up a little anywhere to accompany a singer-songwriter as a group actually welded. So, that's when Gord Downie sang only at the point that I fully appreciated value. Alas, it was too little, too late.
I'm still out of the circle with a smile, though a little disappointed. It was still nice to witness the antics of Downie, listening to his comments between pieces, carried away by his sarcastic humor, but always honest. And who could forget his extravagance in the late evening, when a member of the audience has launched his own album? He then stopped talking and then destroy the disk and get pieces of the artwork in the mouth, eyes full of delicious madness.
