Was gifted this the other night. Haven't had time to go through it all. Seems very bare-bones. Some nice photos within the book though. Anybody else get this yet?

Seen it in bookstores, but didn't seem like anything special when I flipped through it. I remember some cool pictures from it, but that seemed to be the best thing about it. But still, a cool gift and I hope it's enjoyable! Let us know if it's worth checking out.

My wife bought this for me a few months ago....it's nice as a coffee table book (and has pictures of shows I was at!), but beyond that, it's nothing special.

There's a gigography at the back, which is great, except I know for a fact it's missing at least one (July 11, 2012 in Calgary - the epic version of "Grace, Too" from that show is on the NFPA special version) and because I'm a jerk like that, it basically invalidates the entire book in my mind. Yes, I realize that's ridiculous.

Interesting that the cover of this book has Gord wearing what appears to be the same attire as the cover of the Barclay book, possibly representing photos from the same show.
I'm pleased that neither book chose what would be an obvious marketing strategy and had a cover with Gord wearing a metallic suit or jean jacket. Most will remember him that way and while those images are now iconic, it's not the way I want to remember him.
