Hi,

I was there that night, too. I thought the band looked pretty beat, especially Rick Haynes; Las Vegas sometimes has that effect on people...but, the show must go on and away they ripped. Gord dropping the pick was priceless, as he proved that he might be human for just a moment...I was also at the show on 8/9 and had the pleasure of meeting 'Old Dan' from this web-board.

Including the standard songs you'll hear at most every concert, he also played:
Sea of Tranquility
The Watchman's Gone
Ribbon of Darkness (which went right into Sundown)
Big Blue
Old Dan's Records
I thought he might have played I'll Prove my Love, but now I'm not so sure...should have been keeping notes.

Incidentally, my wife and I are the 'Tony and Lee' who had requested 'Triangle', which is my favorite Gordon Lightfoot song.

We got a Painter Passing Through press photo and an album cover signed on 8/8, but we didn't bring anything in on 8/9.

I LOVE the venue (Orleans Hotel/Casino)...it's very intimate. If Gord keeps going back there every year I think we will too.

Good night, all! Time to catch up on some sleep! Can't say the same about my bank account...
