I'd have to say my fav show was at the Toledo Zoo back in the summer of '98. Phantom Power had just come out so they played a lot of songs from that, as well as some other great ones like Flamenco and Little Bones. Gord was in one of those moods... I remember he did a thing where he evolved into a human from a monkey ("Look Ma, I'm evolving!").
They also played a show that same year in September at the Orbit Room in Grand Rapids, MI. That was insane... maybe 200 or 250 people going crazy. Call us pansies if you will, but my girlfriend and I had to go to the back of the crowd because there were too many people at the front of the stage going nuts. Half the crowd was three sheets to the wind. One dude was so drunk off his ass he was dancing with a table. And my dancing, I mean he had picked it up by it's base and was drunkenly swinging it around. I'm surprised no one got hit, but everyone was keeping a safe distance from him.
