2. "Snow on the Skeleton Key" - 40 minute movie by Zachary Derhodge - Gord Downie acting.

I wonder if that's the thing i saw a while ago?

I saw a video about a year ago, and for the life of me I can't remember where I saw it. It had Gord acting, and it was set in a bar and he was telling a story about a fight or something. Geez, pretty sketchy details, but that's about all I remember. Gord did kick some ass though.

I believe you are referring to At the Quinte Hotel, pretty neat little story :thumb:

Let's say one could put their hand into "the vault" . . . and could choose a few shows . . . let's say five (arbitrarily) . . .and with a bit of luck . . . get them to see the light of day one day . . . so my HYPOTHETICAL question is, where to start. How to choose. What criteria, etc. . . .
Don't read anything into this and don't get expectations up, but I like to have a game plan if the opportunity arrises and who know, it might one day.
So, any Hypothetical suggestions . . . how would one choose . . .and what would they be?

Hey MAv, has anything ever come of this?
Just wondering if it has become any less hypothetical after 2 years now?

Of course it has become less hypothetical...we get one soundboard track everyday (sometimes for than one) that we have never heard before. I'm sure our picks have helped decide which shows make their way from the vault into MAv's hands.

Hypothetically speaking, the Orlando show of 10/20/02 would be a dream for me! The only taper there apparently had techncial issues. It was my first Hip show, and a great show to boot! I know this wouldn't be a popular pick, but it really was a good show!

I know that and appreciate it Sean, It is just that I have always thought MAv's hypothetical intention of this thread was for complete shows.
And that is what I was asking about.

this is a tough one because everytime i see them i think i have seen the best show ever until of course i see them again.
i have to say dec 23 /98 in toronto-this was the first time i saw them. i didnt like them and went with some freinds because my hubby liked them
i walked out thinking that was the best experience ever and was pissed over all the years not listening too them..
2nd best -toronto millenium show-it was like the whole city was partying and with the concert and huge fireworks it was complete chaos--in a good way..lol
3rd-edgefest in barrie 2003/4 not sure exactly -they did boots/hearts-- 40,000 people dancing and singing under the sky -.just a very powerful moment
4th-wasaga bluesfest.it was the closet i had ever been during a show so i saw other aspects of the show .
5th-at the hummingbird during in violet light.i believe it was oct 15/16.
