Gord
Downie and the Dinner is Ruined - Boston - July 30th, 2001
|
|
|
|
|
The
mike stands for the Smurf's reuinon tour were grossly overextended
by the roadies.
|
Gordie
hits the stage with "Canada Geese" off of Coke Machine
Glow.
|
|
|
|
|
Gord
keeps the audience riveted with tales from the band's trip
to Yellowknife.
|
"Holy
fuck, eh? ... I haven't seen this many Canadians in one room
in Cambridge since... um... never mind."
|
|
|
|
|
Gord
ignores Moynihan's request for "Bobcaygeon."
|
The
bass player looks on stunned as Gord breaks into a rant about
Don Cherry.
|
|
|
|
|
Sayra,
Dave and Mike groove to the G-Man at the back of TT the Bear's.
|
I
can't believe how close we were. It would have been impossible
to even get tickets in T.O.
|
|
|
|
|
I
didn't know Tiny Tim was playing the drums in The Dinner is
Ruined.
|
Mike
made me promise I'd tell everyone that he took this picture.
|
|
|
|
|
Gord,
looking eerily like Bruce Willis, belts out the opening lines
to "Yer Possessed."
|
After
the show we hit "The Field" for Sayra's birthday
drink. Then Mike hit the bourbon. And then the floor.
|
|
|
|
I
think at this point Mike, still buzzing from the show, was
talking about relocating to Toronto. Read his article entitled
Gord Downie and Vietnam HERE. I'm not kidding.
