I LOVE the new ending to Blow where just as Gord starts the final "Elvis" verse at the end, the band starts to play the "I can get behind anything..." creshendo again leading into another big bang! The songs builds for an extra explosion and then the boys play it out hard... it's just great.

Yeah I love that, and the new ending of mm@w too, the dylan impression and all.

[Killer Whale Tank]

I'm glad that observation about M@W came up! Not only is he doing Dylan, but Elvis Presley and some death-metal vocalist. That's priceless :thumb: ---part of the reason why I can only conclude that those who complain about the recent gigs aren't paying attention.

[clearlyentranced]

Exactly! nag nag nag....I just don't get it.

Okay, time to bring this argument here: Is it Dylan... or Bullwinkle? The Labatt cases bootleg (The SkyDome show) sounds like Bullwinkle... but then again, Bob and the Bull have the same damn voice don't they?

the best is the new funky part that they've added to meridian, have they just been doing that on this tour? or is it old?

[robert goulet]

Agreed, I love the new "double time" ending to the 100th Mer...they played it the same way in both the Ottawa and the Sudbury shows, I imagine it was like that at the rest of the stops as well.
Piss on Ry Cooder...I want Gordie to sing my eulogy!!!

It's been sped up live ever since I can remember, but it's only been practically punk on the IBE tour.

The Wasaga version with "Here Come The Tits" improv was unforgettable.

i'm talking about the funky part they play before "if i die of vanity", they weren't doing it when i saw them on the phantom power or music @ work tours.

That bassy groove thing's been around awhile too. Fantastic funked-out version of it on the "Something On" MM special from '98.

well, last Saturday was the first i'd ever heard of it, which is odd, because i've seen that special numerous times, and have a copy of it laying around in a cabinet somewhere.

Gord does a very nice "High School Days" rant throughout that version as well. That's gotta be my favourite bootleg. What a show!

that wasn't one show, it was a the best performances froma few shows, the camp trilium benefit shows that were announced on the morning of the day of each show.

Nope. July 7, 1998. Johnny's birthday. Centennial Hall, London. I was there.
