JJ - I'm THERE at that concert when you get Gord to open with "The List". Excellent choices in the two sets. "Is There Anyone Home?" in concert - havn't heard that since 75 at Colo. State U. in Moby Gym - the COTS Tour, I believe. He also introduced in concert the Wreck , prior to SD'S release - and he asked of people "liked it or not" -I didn't think he'd make it out that crowd loved him so much. He played- to a standing-room only crowd (the b-ball stadium was beyong capacity anyway, and better than a 1/3 were standing the whole show anyway - students can be pretty hearty when they drink beer, or are just plain get psyched-up in a group dynamic on campus like that !

JJ - maybe just swap one for Nova Scotia Farewell, which I have never heard. And speaking of concert-only songs - did anyone ever hear him play "If it Should Please You" added as a bonus track to GG2 - very catchy- very "broad-brimed".
