Noticed on amazon.co.uk (I'm in London, so desperately awaiting my book) that the digital album is being released tomorrow (25th). So hoping it hits all digital providers/streamers then.

ashtrayrock Wrote:the roy thompson hall show was incredible. i really am at a loss of words because nothing could adequately describe the emotion/atmosphere in that room that night.
it felt as though it was a million times more important than just a rock show. beyond special.

everyone holding on and depositing their tear stained tissues at the end of the the show, in those paper bags, so they could gather them and use them in a ceremony of sorts....wow

so many tears shed for chanie Cry Cry

gord's greatest legacy? we certainly hope so.

It was an amazing atmosphere in the room. I personally feel that 90% of the emotion I experienced that night was due to the stories told through the music and animated film and through the Wenjacks gathering on stage and not due to feeling the finiteness of Gord's time. I wouldn't have predicted that for myself going in. In fact, I would have predicted the opposite. I guess that speaks to the power of his work and the story he has told.

My editors wanted to hold the review of the Roy Thomson gig 'til today but here it is: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.chartattack.com/features/2016/10/24/gord-downie-look-inwards-during-secret-path/">http://www.chartattack.com/features/201 ... cret-path/</a><!-- m -->

They did allow me to go long, which was cool. Heavy, heavy evening.

This is a great point. I'd sort of forgotten that prior to my first viewing, most of my thoughts were about Gord & that sense of time running out & of loss.

I took a video at Massey Hall, kicking myself for not bringing point & shoot (which would've resulted in a better video). Cuts out in the middle due to my fat fingers.

For whatever reason, these 2 songs feel related to me--not lyrically at all, but musically. Like big brother & little brother or little sister. Holding hands, big brother walks hard, cool, smart, & excited little bro or sis steps light & has to walk a bit faster to keep up. ('secret path' has got me seeing family metaphors everywhere right now, lol)

Listened before heading to work. So weird to not have the animation accompanying it. Haunting.

Sorry if this has been posted, but I found two videos of Gord, Kevin and Dave performing Secret Path songs at Jason Collett's Basement Revue in 2014. Quite a different experience seeing him sing the songs healthy and strong.

So, on Friday night they filmed the the entire concert, and also were filming people in the lobby.
Anyone have any idea what it was for? I dont imagine it was just for news purposes.
