** Night is Forgetting and Willows Logic were also listed under the encore, but weren't played.
I managed to get a seat in the front row, which suprised me as I thought all of the first few rows were for the dinner package people. It was nice to be able to claim your seat with a sticker, then leave for a bit and wander before the show knowing that your seat was safe.
I really enjoyed Robyn Dell'Unto again. To me, she sounds like Lisa Loeb and/or Lights, but with a lot more funny/nervous banter before and during her songs. She's got talent, but I'm not sure if there is something that really sets her apart from all the other solo female artists already out there.
Tonight's show seemed better than Friday night's. The guys seemed more relaxed and comfortable, and the crowd was more tame with no yellers. Must have been that sterner warning we got before the show.
At the start of Vancouver Divorce Gord forgot the words, so he asked if anyone knew them. A guy ("Dan") at the back jumps up, runs down to the stage and ends up singing the song. Of course, he didn't really know the words either.
Everything else was great. This was a real showcase for me, and it was a real treat to experience this the past two nights.
I got a chance to meet Gord after the show. Honestly, he, the Hip guys, their crew, and the TCOM folks, have got to be the nicest people in the industry. Dale knew I was waiting for him, so when he came out the two of them walked over to me, he signed the lyrics to Vancouver Divorce (CMG book), then proceeded to talk for about 5 mins about the show, Friday night's show and how he wasn't impressed with the annoying drunk guy, and how much he enjoyed the two nights. Its times like that when you wish you could tape record the conversation.
BTW, he signed Van Divorce: "Sarah, thanks for the tele-prompter (3hrs too late!). Darn, I should have pulled the book out right away!
