Well. From what I caught it sounded like one hell of a performance!

Sounded great from my perspective. Gord's vocals were spot on.

Hell of a show… just unbelievable energy. This was my 15th (and last :( ) Hip show. Flamenco, Escape, Long Time Running… I haven't seen those since little MacEwan Hall shows in Calgary or maybe even before that. For a hardcore like me, it was a real treat.

BUT, but, this wasn't a small venue show. This was an over sold Rexall Place with 18, 000+ spectators there. I've done the little venues. For their last show, I wanted to see them bring down the roof. Some New Orleans, Blow at High Dough, even Highway Girl. But nope… I just felt it would've been more memorable with some higher energy and a big crowd playlist.

That being said, The boys rocked out hard and Gord had an unbelievable amount of energy. He has never failed to entertain. I'm glad I went to one last show. For me, it was a real treat. Ending with ABAC made the whole thing worth it.

And I will miss it all...

wow, this is definitely a tour for the hardcore fans.
How many bands would do setlists like this and then not play either Fireworks or Bobcaygeon during a PP set??
