Some time ago when searching for
"Massey Hall Moments"
I found a blog page with a great panoramic photo of Gord's place made by stitching together a number of images
I just went to refind it but failed although I did find a similar and probably the same collage that is now a Wikipedia Commons property
the full resolution version is a gigantic 5.512 by 3568 pixels weighing in at 2,83MB
To save those stlil on a dialup connection much anguish I won't attach it but will give the URL if you wish to see and possibly save the full sized jpg in all its glory
Meanwhile here is a reasonably sized screenshot from the wikipedia web page
http://johnfowles.org.uk/LIGHTFOOT/images/massey%20panorama_.jpg
the full sized file is at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Massey_Hall,_Toronto_Panorama.jpg
I also found a splendid set of panoramic photos of Toronto on:-
http://michaeldharvie.wordpress.com/
which includes a collage of Massey that is large so I'll attach it
http://michaeldharvie.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/img_4532.jpg
And a great panoramic spread of the Eaton Centre centered on Indigo Books of all places
also quite large so also attached

Oops No I can't it is a shade over the maximum limit of 500KB so please click that link instead
It is IMHO well worth looking at

It makes it seem like the red doors are in the centre of a curved building and they aren't and it isn't. They are on Shuter and the building continues south down Victoria St. where the stage door is located.
It's a terrific seaming together of pics with today's modern technology but it doesn't depict what the Church of Gord really looks like.
The INDIGO books at the Eaton Centre isn't where the CD signing was. It was @ INDIGO @ The Manulife Centre on Bloor St.W. just west of Yonge St.

The Eaton Centre has a lot of new flooring and fixtures/fittings that have been under construction for over a year now. They've tarted the old gal up right nice!

May 2001 - Net People get ready to enter the Church of Gord...congregated in front of the marquis near the red box office doors which are to the left of the 3 main entry red doors.
