Very nice show all in all. I was quite disappointed due to the seating arrangement, and I am sure that ticketmaster will get an absolute earfull from fans, as no one knew where there seats were, due to the split row numbers.
My highlight was certainly "The Last Spike" rant during the intro to ABAC. Gord had "the most annoying sound in the world go off in his ear piece, and quickly linked the dying battery packs' spike in volume, to the final spike on the railroad driven by Pierre Berton himself stright into Gord's skull.
I hope there is a recording of that out there!

And to follow up on that piece, the Winnipeg Sun reporter noted:

He is the only performer I’ve seen who can use the process of changing a battery pack as the basis for a poetic monologue

There was no VIP section in Winnipeg. I only saw one family with VIP stickers, which enabled them to roll around on the outfield grass and gain access behind the stage before the hip playing.
