I've always thought it would be nice if Gord came out alone after intermission and did a couple of solo numbers. I'd love to hear him do Drink Yer Glasses Empty and I'll Tag Along, just Gord and his guitar.

In the late eighties and early nineties Gord did just that. He would come out alone after intermission and play a few solo. Then he would gradually add accompaniment (sp?).
Ironically, he would play unplugged versions of songs from East of Midnight. He and Terry Clements played the title track (he called it the light version) and I swear it was the like I had never heard the song before. The recorded version is so over-pop-orchestrated, it's too bad he didn't do the light version on the album. I really loved that version of East of Midnight.
I also really like Morning Glory, I'll Tag Along and A Lesson in Love. He played all these unplugged as well. There is a CD out there somewhere with these songs from a 1991 concert.
