The Ottawa show has an amazing version of Giftshop. Just drop-dead gorgeous. (or is it "gordgeous"??)

It really was a great show. That word is over used, and hype tends to lead to let downs, but if you look up "great" in the dictionary (like the difference between Ali and Tyson) that's what this show was. Great.

you'll get no argument from me on that. This show is just killer. Little moments in just about every song have knocked me over. One of the many highlights thus far (I'm at the tail-end of Poets, the twelfth song, right now) would have to be the end of Vapour Trails when Gord says "Past Canadians in beige shirts, leaning over their snow shovels..." the imagery is so powerful. Awesome!

This show, despite its lack of an insanely good setlist is firmly placed at #3 of 15 on my list of shows... it was really just THAT good. It reminded me again why I wasted like $2000 in 6 months following them around. I was worried that I'd seen them too many times after the Ottawa capital show, but really.. Nov 28th renewed my faith 100%. It was absolutely awesome.

Shannon, you said "wasted", when clearly the money you spent was NOT a waste...anyone who's spent anything for this band could likely attest to that...
