Well that saved me the trouble of writing up the setlist! I have to say, not only is the Warner a beautiful restored theater, it has the most comfortable chairs in any theater I've ever been to. The sound was just exquisite during this show, a real treat from where I was sitting. I brought a friend with me who had never been before, so it was nice to hear him so loud and clear. I didn't even get that first set weakness we've all mentioned/noticed.
Just a few add ons, Carter did a great solo in Never Too Close, and his solo in Sundown just keeps getting better and better.
Right after Gord did Sundown, he had to blow his nose, which must have been worse than usual, as he went through his tissue, Rick handed him a tissue, then Carter got up and handed him a small towel. Gord turns around and says "I got snot on my jacket....wardrobe, oh wardrobe...." Interestingly enough (at least to us), my friend does wardrobe and costuming for theater and films, and does a lot of work with the theater we were in. She starts to get up, saying "I"m coming!". Cracked us up. Gord was wearing the red coat at the time, so I was hopeful that maybe it was ruined.....it was fine though....
He made a few comments like before Waiting for You, about his second ex old lady, I was 50, she was 30, I was in heaven!! :ater he made a comment that after touring, one goes home to face the real music.
Someone in the audience yelled out asking how old his guitar was, and he replied it was from the 50's.

Tonight is my last night of my mini vacation, and I'm here in Portland Maine. One of my favorite cities. Can't imagine any shenanagins here, but who knows!?
