I was lucky enough to be at the Horseshoe's 60th anniversary Private Part last night.
The Sadies and the Waco Brothers were the bands.
Being a huge Sadies fan I had to be there knowing it was going to be special. The owner introduced them as this era's "Horeshoe BAND!" it was amazing. Then they came on and kicked our asses.
Of course they had tons of guests including Greg Keelor, Bruce and Margaret (their parents), and members of the Skydiggers.
The biggest surprise came when they called Mr. Gord Downie to the stage! The place went insane as did I. Gord said his hello and the band ripped into Fire In The Hole!!!!!!! The Sadies do such an amazing job on this song. Gord was in full rock out mode right down to shining his shoes! They also did I Want To Rock and Roll With You and the SEEK AND DESTROY!! It was intense to be 2 feet from Gord while he screamed through that song.
Amazing night, I had to share.
