As Jenney has already reported the start of the concert was surreal because instead of the usual opening song detailing what the mermaid said to the tuna fish or Gord asking if his old girlfriend had mentioned him or a description of a house by a mill I was suddenly aware that Gord was singing a song possibly about the legendary queen consort of the fabled King Arthur of Wessex UK

7. Medley Spanish Moss/Shadows

then introductions of "the Lads"
and which reminded Gord of the time he was inducted into the Society of Turtles in Liverpool England for a reason I cannot now recall
