The audience exuberance and wanting to express their profound appreciation to Gord between each verse is very cool, but there is a flipside -- part of what makes the song so beautiful is the way Gord's incredibly talented band plays between the verses. That gets covered up by the spontaneous hoots and applause between verses.
I agree Tim, my favorite song. Always has been, always will be. I was at that concert, and while I usually like things fairly quiet so that I can hear, the audience was so enthusiastic that it made for one of the best shows I've seen. There were over 3,000 people packed into that venue, the most they've ever had there, and they loved Gord! They gave him a standing ovation after IYCRMM, and you could tell that Gord loved them back. You can even see the little smile that dances across his face in this video.
He seems to be having more fun then he ever has lately, and is sounding pretty darn good.
