Re: Paramount Theater, Aurora, IL

My family of 5 was there Friday night. We were running late (drove 4 hours to get there). About 1/2 hour from Aurora I got pulled over for speeding (NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!). Praise the Lord, just...

Re: Lightfoot on Letterman in October

As far as what Gord may sing that night, I can say for my opinion, I.Y.C.R.M.M. always sounds the best at any concert, hands down.

I think the range of the song serves him well at this point in...

Re: Lightfoot on Letterman in October

Re: Aurora, IL. Oct 15, 2010

Thanks Peter Bro 10 for the heads - up on the ticket sales date.

My family and I have seen Gord there twice and, of course, we are planning on going this time too.

Re: Sundown album cover

I'm pretty sure that 'rockpile' behind his guitar is indeed a woodpile. Why would you need to store rocks in a barn?

Re: Question: What is/are your fave instrumental song intro?

First, my general overall, "Gord - geek" answer. The first song of any Gord album - because you know you are in for 30 - 45 minutes of your favorite music.


Now, for my real answer. "Whispers...

Re: Video-IYCRMM Twin River Casino, Lincoln, R.I.

I too am appalled at some of the audience behaviors at a GL concert.
Given the casino setting though, maybe it's to be expected. Gord doesn't look upset by it.
Gord always seems to 'save' his...

Re: What Song Gives You Goosebumps?

'Tatoo' and 'I'm Not Supposed To Care'('76 version).

Both about breakups and still being in love with the person - gutwrenching!

'Tatoo' is probably still my favorite GL song.

Re: Your favorite Album photo of Gord's !

Mine is probably "East Of Midnight" or "Gord's Gold Vol. 2".
It shows him mature, but not yet starting to show his age.

Re: It's Too Late, He did not Win??

I think the story on the link says that "It's Too Late" was on a single with the flip-side being "Negotiations". It's saying "Negotiations" was not written by Gord.

Re: Merrillville Show

Gord told the "hare" joke last year at the Indy show.

"How long is the hare (hair) on a rabbit's back?"

"About 5 seconds."

3 minutes is way too long for mating rabbits.
