Glenmark,

And my wife and I thought we were the only ones who drove all the way from Spokane to see Gord in concert!! We attended the Calgary concert on Friday the 6th. We had 3rd row seats right in the center. Awsome show, though Gord struggled through CRT a bit. I had the distinct feeling that Gord was very glad to be alive, on the stage and very appreciatative of his audience. My wife shed tears during Beautiful just like she did when I took her on a date to see Gord at the Universal Amphitheater in 1978 where we had 3rd row seats then too by sheer luck (only the press got that close back then).

We saw Gord's bus behind the auditorium earlier in the day and thought of hanging out there after the concert, but just thought we needed to give the man his space.

We planned to go through Radium Hot Springs too but instead spent some time at Lake Louise and Saturday night in Revelstoke instead.
