wow, I'm getting this at screaming speeds! thanks tons for the post. the Fall 96 tour was incredible. Buffalo 11/26/96 is still one of the very best boots ever, imo.

Wow, a finished version of "Escape" that early. Was that common on this swing of the tour?

They played it a couple times as a "lone" song on the arena part of the tour.
Not "in" another song.
Always under Stereo I believe.

I recall Escape being played on night #3 in Vancouver. A few of the lyrics at the end were substituted with another song though, instead of the conversation...jump in hang back bit.

Escape was played as the first song of the second encore in buffalo, three nights before this Ottawa show. I remember as I enjoyed the tune from the second row at Marine Midland Arena in Buffalo how it reminded me of 1979 by Smashing Pumpkins. the tempo and the steady, driving straight-ahead beat were very similar.
BTW, this Ottawa recording is spectacular. That fall 96 tour was magical and you can hear the magic in this show very clearly.

I remember in Calgary they played Escape in the middle of NOIS, and then later in the show an early version of Chagrin Falls appeared in the middle of Meridian with Gord improvising all sorts of different lyrics along with Paul's now familiar riff.
That tour actually went down in the history books as the biggest tour by a Canadian band in the history of Canadian music. They were the first homegrown artist to sell out multiple nights in all the major arenas across the country. I remember there was a small article in the paper about how their back-to-back Saddledome gigs out-sold both Garth Brooks and the Smashing Pumpkins who had each played the 'Dome a couple of weeks before.
