You won’t believe this, but I could
not find my camera on Friday!?!?!?? I’ve NEVER misplaced it before
and I searched EVERYWHERE…well, almost everywhere, apparently. I
found it Sunday morning as I was heading out to my soccer game…in my bag
with all my soccer gear. How on earth it got in there I will NEVER
know. So, I missed out on getting some great pictures, for sure….but
I can’t complain. I was very lucky to get the tickets and I got one
of Andy’s pics and one of Stewart’s drumsticks too. I also
got a setlist and passed that over to Jock – the least I could do given
he was equally deserving of the front-row seats. The shows in Toronto were fantastic.
I think Thursday’s show was possibly the best I’ve seen on the tour
so far.
Cheers,
Bruce

Just a quick story I think you guys might be interested
in: A local radio station in Toronto has
been holding a competition for the last few days in which the prize was a pair
of front-row seats to Friday’s concert here in Toronto. To win the tickets you had to
be the seventh caller and you had to correctly identify all 10 songs. I
tell you, it was tough. To hear clips of 10 songs go by in 5 seconds or
less and identify them was much harder than you might think. All the
sounds are very familiar, and while a handful of songs were immediately
obvious, correctly identifying all the songs was a real challenge.
Fortunately it became a bit of a team effort, as my friends Jock, Chris Orange
(Chris is on this list), and I listened over and over again to the clip we
recorded, and we discussed for ages on multiple telephone conference calls what
the songs might be. Over the last three days each of us was able to get
through to the radio station as the seventh caller, and with a variety of
combinations of song choices, we had anywhere from 7 to 9 of the songs
correctly identified. Some other callers were quite good, and a handful
of callers were truly clueless. Ultimately, Jock, Chris, were certain we
knew which 9 songs we had correctly identified and which song had to be
jettisoned from the list. And just yesterday evening Jock figured out
what the song was that we were having trouble identifying. Armed with
what we now thought was the correct final list of songs, I ended up being the
lucky one that got though as the seventh caller when the competition resumed
this morning….and…..drumroll please (thank you, Stewart)….I
won a pair of front row tickets to Friday’s concert!!!!!!!!! How
cool is that!?!?
Cheers,
Bruce
