Dylan be damned...Orillia-Mariposa - it's all about Lightfoot..take a hike Bob..
We watched the sound guy climb up on the tower and cover the spotlight with a tarp..not anywhere I'd want to be in a lightning storm..and he's a very fast worker!
Everyone from the sound guys, stage guys, management, the band, and Gord need to be commended for their perserverance and dedication. And their wacky sense of adventure!
I got a kick out of Barry trying so hard to get the show wrapped up. It was like he was sending messages by mental telepathy to Gord and Gord just ignored him and went on his merry way as if there wasn't a thing that could go wrong..poor Barry..no wonder he smokes..
but I laughed out loud when after 2 or 3 times of coming up on stage he finally came up with a geetar case..just hoping that Gord would get the hint..
lolol
When we finally headed out of Orillia the rain had stopped-it was about midnight I think..the highway was dry and we watched the storm off in the distance ahead of us as we headed south. I thought for sure we'd get home and see the aftermath of the storm here in Whitby but nothing happened! It had rained during the day but the storm we experienced in Orillia by-passed my place. The skies were lit up for miles with lightning strikes both horizontal and vertical from as far east and over to the west as you could see tho..
Storm gods - 0
Lightfoot - 1
