I was at the Mayo Civic Center last evening in the first row..
and I can tell you absolutely and without doubt, that the (Milwaukee) rumors of the man's great demise are, um, well, greatly exaggerated to say the least..
Great venue, great crowd, the orchestra.. right on the music..
and the man himself?.. beautiful..
He was great! The vocal was strong and enchanting..
I've been to (well, after tonight in Minneapolis) 30 shows
and last night in Rochester, was one of the very best..
I assure you..
The end of the road, is nowhere in sight my friends..
If Gord shows up within 4 hours of your hometown in '08?..
well you get up and get on the road my good friends..
Walk out on that man and that band before the show's over?..
Ridiculous..
On to Minneapolis..
Life..
is so very good..
