I was at the NYC concert and was also treated to "Mistrel of the Dawn." What a delight, the highlight of the show! Gord also mentioned that a fan had requested it.
After the show, we waited at the door to get Gord's autograph. The guy next to me was named Mike from Pittsburgh area, and as we struck up a conversation it was he who had written the letter to request Minstrel. When Gord came out (shook his hannd and got his autograph on my Songbook booklet), Mike identified himself and he and Gord had a nice conversation about Minstrel and about Mike's letter. Gord mentioned that the letter sounded real sincere (in its request) so he had decided to do Minstrel again. Apparently, it will be in the repetoire for a while.
I intend to make a full report re the NYC concert, including set list and including my conversation with Gord about Char's appearance at Mariposa, but it will have to wait until I have a little more time. Probably this weekend.
