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

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.

The songs, Bruce! What where the Songs?! Or, instead, can you send the clip to "us" and let us play the game? too? What do we win?
