Went to Windsor fully expecting a repeat of the recent set lists and we got it. The venue, sound and lighting made a huge difference though, so this combined with the fact most of the songs were played brilliantly made the set list issue almost inconsequential. Looking back on Bobcaygeon I think my expectations were way too high, although the VIP thing was still a farce.
There was a massive storm just before the show with the power being knocked out to not only the venue but the entire Casino, 3 or 4 times. Gord D joked about it when they came on stage for LEOTR thanking the crowd for "not stealing anything while the lights were out". He also commented on the venue stating it was "a great room” a couple of times. I’m personally ok with Gord D holding back a bit and letting the band showcase their talents. Again, Gord S was on fire last night.
It was a 19+ crowd and they stood for most if not the entire show. If you get a chance to see an event here go for it as it’s pretty much primo seating anywhere in the venue.
Left the casino up $225 (thanks to my wife who pulled the plug at 2 am) so all in all it was a great night of Hip and Puttn’ Down.
