re: brother wondered out loud why Gord didn't drop the songs a half a key..
..an astute observation, and I'm sure its been discussed thoroughly on this site; the answer of course must be the commitment to the capo arrangement; subsequent guitar phrasing etc. (stuff like All the Lovely Ladies, Wild Strawberries, Morning Glory, Lesson in Love, CRT, the E5 songs etc.; just aint gonna get changed).. I think its safe to say the songs will always be live, what they've always been etc.. That being said, the slowing of the meter over the years, and the slight variations in melody lines etc.(someone was discussing recently concerning the end of Beautiful for a good example) give the aging pipes some options.. so its all good.. Nice write-up of the show.. Thanks allot..
