Best Winnipeg crowd I've ever been a part of.
It seemed like a lame-duck crowd till about Gift Shop. Then each song built the crowd up a little more. And a little more. By the time we got to "Happy birthday Johnny" the crowd was freakin' pumped and all they wanted was more rock. It reached epic proportions of crowd energy during Nautical Disaster, as if it were the greatest rock song ever created.
I was a little worried, it seems some of the shows in the past couple weeks have been a little off, or the venue sucked, or even the band seemed uninspired? Not so at all tonight...Gord's voice was fantastic, and yeah, it was mostly singles, but we got Lonely End of the Rink, the three new tracks...I'm not complaining at all, the crowd made the show, compared to 2009 where most people here sat on their hands like pansies.
Winnipeg came ready to party and rock out tonight. It was GREAT.
I just don't care for BSS. Half of them seemed bored out of their minds, like it was some kind of incredible effort to get up on stage and play a short set. No Julie Penner, which dissapointed me, as she's an ex-pat of these parts. I'm not totally sure who the woman was on stage with them, but being at that show seemed like the last place she wanted to be.
