Now that was an awesome show. Highlights for me were Good Life, Courage Acoustic, Long Time and Tiger in the encore. Gord was so talkative too. Really nice to sit beside Tony and to meet his wife Teresa. Hope you guys have a great anniversary weekend in Niagara.

We sat right beside Dave Hodge and his wife. They really seemed to be into the show and their heads were moving to the beats and Dave was signing right along.

Thanks for stopping by Beanmedic. Always nice to work a show and get in free. Enjoy tonight too.

Well that's it for me on this tour.

Adios.
Jamie

The last time we heard Long Time running in Hamilton was at the News Year show of 2002 interesting if you look at the set list that night way back in 2002 and the set list from last night.......TEN songs that are the same

Some of my vids from right orchestra are on youtube - youtube.com/7mrsardo (not great sound, but captures the energy of the night, i think). includes a bit of gord on top of people in the crowd...

We were on the wander... with no set seats so that always gives a different feel to s show...

COuld get into the first half groove too much at all except...
looking for a place - was good
Depression - one of their better songs musically for me from the entire catalog

Acoustic set was excellent - Courage real nice

2nd half we had better sound and enjoyed a few songs
although nothing took me away... except watching GORD
go 30 - deep into the crowd.

I always like Tiger - I like all the songs most others don't or at least the radio listener

I taped a few songs from the front right extended balcony because there
was a ledge there... other than that I enjoyed the night but not inspiring...

I agree hamilton place is not my favourite either... it really closes in on the stage..
goes....way back like a hockey arena - 2nd balcony ? Why even go?

Videos Here ( there is some Watchmen from last week if you like as well)

Too bad it wasn't two months ago so I could have bought your used junk.

It was a couple months ago... but I'm keeping my original gear... These mics and recorder are awesome but not nearly as portable as my Tascam and CA-11/14s.

Have you recorded a show with your gear yet?

Not yet. I got it just in time for my summer concert season to end. Bummer.
This Friday was supposed to be my trial run, I was supposed to be hitting moe. at The Town Ballroom in Buffalo, but I just got veto'd on that.
So I have an extra ticket if anyone wants it.

And as a side note for Buffalo area shows - if anyone is reading this that used to record at The Town Ballroom, someone told me recently that the Ballroom no longer allows recording. I was at the venue last Monday for a comedy show and I spoke to the owner who said taping is perfectly fine with them as long as the band allows it. So I guess the restrictions are over.
