Incredible show. But even more incredible, the fans. This is the loudest I have heard the ACC and I have been to many, many events there. The emotion was just pouring out last night. When he sang Gift Shop, because of the lyrics and Gord's condition, I lost it. Had to sit down for a couple minutes and my wife asked me if I was OK. I was bawling. It just hit me hard.
That ovation for Gord was the biggest outpouring of love I have ever been involved in.
Had great seats in Section 118, Row 19. Funny enough exact same seat numbers but 2 rows better than my Pearl Jam tickets (and I am a member of the Ten Club since 1998). So lucky to have scored on the ticket drop last Wednesday. Next 2 nights are 317 obstructed row 16 and I looked up there last night before the show and asked a security guard and he said they are fine no real obstructions. Anyways, don't care just blessed to be in the building each night.
Best setlist I have ever heard. Not sure how ANY fan could be disappointed in ANY of it. This show ranks as close to my favourite Hip show of all time and I have been to many. The song selection was incredible. So many old gems and it just felt like we were transported back in time. Nautical Disaster was a fave. So Hard Done By was brilliant. I loved Lake Fever. I also loved The Luxury, what a treat. I love the small set, tight setup of the band for the first few songs.
Not sure about those lights that come down or why they need them but I didn't care I was rocking out and enjoying every minute.
Bring on Friday and Sunday!
Seriously, look at this f-ing setlist!:

Little Bones
Fiddler’s Green

In a World Possessed by the Human Mind
Tired as Fuck
