GL last played here 10 years ago (he informed the audience), we were there, but did not realize it was that long ago. It is a 1,200 seat, old wooden hall, with what I hear people say are perfect acoustics. We were in the balcony, but do to the small hall size, still had a great view. It was an enthusiastic crowd, a sold out show. The set list was almost identical what was posted a few day ago for Red Bank NJ. It was great to hear songs like Sea of Tranquility and Sweet Guenevere. Gord does have some issues reaching the high notes, and his vocal power seems a little diminished from when I last saw him 14 months ago, but I soon forgot about all that. He got a big standing ovation at the end and he looked very pleased. A great show!
