Absolutely great show, from start to finish. To hear three new songs in such a personal and intimate venue was great.

The band sounded great, the new songs were tight and polished. "Try" was especially good, great vocals from gord, my favorite tune from the night. It should also be noted that this song included several past rants including "70 days, 70 nights" and "getting beat up by a guy who cries before he fights." New maybe is a "must see" live, the studio version doesn't seem to do it justice after hearing the live counterpart.

The setlist was a little short with only one encore, but it left me thoroughly satisfied as i'm sure it did everyone else.

A few incidences in the crowd, Gord covered them nicely, turning them into highlights from the evening.

It was also nice to see some other basers. Glad to finally meet you guys.

i've sorted through my pics (i had about a 10% success ratio) and uploaded them here for the next few days:

(lance, having some probs again with uploading pics into the forum, getting other pictures instead)

The dude in the Maple Leafs jersey...is he a Hipbaser? I met him in 2001 at the Calgary folk festival while we were hanging around after the Gord Downie show, waiting to get an autograph.
