oh, thanks for the belated heads up re Fred,...I will check out that clip online
i hope Gord doesn't cave to doing a condensed IYCRMM and stands his ground like he did on the Grammy's decades ago
my small circle seems to think it will go something like this (complete with red jacket)
just seeing the historic GL visage with eyes closed during those instr segments should be captivating for any viewing audience...any who can't dig it should flick over to Kimmel, late night poker viewing or slapchop infomercials
anything that is picked and not strummed (the Wreck, Sundown, Carefree, etc) will sit fine with me
since 2003, I feel his voice has been most robust in songs like Harmony and 14 K Gold... "if you see me on the TV talking proud...." and Mike and the band back up those so nicely with tasty arrangements
i imagine Dave will walk over to GL after the tune and say something like "aren't you supposed to be dead?"....GL will give the signature "Well" shrug and that will be that
here's an idea....how about they cut out 5 minutes of the lame monolog and other yawn inducing shinnanigans, typical of the first 20 minutes of the show and let GL play a non-condensed composition... AND have a nice little Gord chat
who knows, maybe this will be the 1st promo spot for the Live Massey archives
