I will add another comment. Everyone has made very valid points on this topic, whether it be medical, or age, or sweating over words, or just not playing the songs enough. We also have to remember that Gord is a perfectionist, and if something is not up to his very high standards, he is not going to improvise or take the risk in front of an audience. So if he feels he cannot pull off the Harmony songs note-for-note and word-for-word, he likely will stick with the stuff he knows second nature. Gord's concerts are an experience of a lifetime, but unless Gord changes a song for a very good reason, the band plays the songs note perfect as we know them with little, if no, experimentation. The eggs do not fall far from the nest.
