Is this true??

At the beginning of the bootleg for Gord's solo show in Cleveland, the first thing Gord says is turn the A/C off.

that would explain the sweat.

That would also explain why it was so damn hot at the Lee's show! I had to go to the bathroom and splash water on my face, it was so hot I felt like I was getting heat stroke. :?

Now I know that I have Gord to thank for being covered in sweat during those humid mid-atlantic nights in the TLA...and I wouldn't trade them in for anything!!

I believe he turns up the heat to help his vocal chords.

Well what would be the point of going to any gig if your not going to get all sweaty?Performer or Fan.That's how all the old guys of past did it,just get your ass on that stage and release it :twisted:

I will not give up. My face is set,my gait is fast,my goal is heaven,my road is narrow,my way is rough,my companions are few,my guide is reliable,my mission is clear. I cannot be bought,compromised,detoured,lured away,turned back,diluted or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice,hesitate in the presence of adversity,negotiate at the table of the enemy,ponder at the pool of popularity,or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I will not give up,shut up or slow down....Blessed Be!

release what? the mother of all farts?? :lol:

I've heard that in small venues having the A/C turned off helps the acoustics? or is that an urban myth?

What kind of beer do the boys drink? I think I've seen in a video once that Gord S. drinks Labatts. Go Hip :thumb:

Gord was drinking Clancy's after he played at the Marquee in Halifax, Sept 12th. He got into the taxi with a case of it.

Did he get into the taxi by himself? Did they have a bus? Confusedcratch:
Hmm I have never heard of that beer?

He got into the taxi with a whole pile of people...there musta been four or five of them all squished in. I don't remember exactly. But no, they didn't have a bus. There were a couple of Chevy Blazers there to pick up the gear. Gord gave the taxi driver something when he got in...I want to know what it was!

I'm pretty sure Gord does smoke. I've seen him with cigarettes in a couple of interviews, though he didn't smoke (tobacco anyway Big Grin ) when he met us in Halifax.
