"it's like being in a living room with everyone crowded around, drinking a beer, Lightfoot kicking back with his guitar, telling tales between his songs"

ok, i checked vid and pics of the the place...that's some BIG living room, lol...i think the author of the post is a romantic

yes, they're cramped in along the bar area sidelines...just like they are at the back bar area at Hugh's....
Canyon club is a dinner theatre....for the folks who get seated at those circular tables and eat, 1/2 are delighted and the other 1/2 wake up the next morning with pinched nerves in their necks

i always thought of Massey as pretty small...certainly more homey than any dinner theatre and Gord often tells little stories no matter where he plays...although someone did a post a small and wonderful venue earlier on tour...and old very small opera house, i believe...that's the ticket i'd like

when I first read these post I thought it sounded like Gord was alone with guitar and seated at a house-like party...not quite...i think Gord should do a contest where the winner get's Gord for a house concert...but tell Gord to not just bring a mini amp for the guitar, but a PA twice the size for his vocal mic!

i don't think waitresses wandering and clinking plates and glasses works during Gord sets...generally i think booze and Gord gigs do not mix

thanks for the post, it had me envisioning a "Riverboat 2009"
