I have NEVER seen TTH live! - I was asked to drop in and tape by wooly143 here on dime, and considering how many time my ‘north of the border’ family mentioned them to me - I decided to go check them out.
I was clearly a non-Canadian minority at the venue :) In fact, I’d say I have never seen that many canadians in 1 place outside of Canada. Great crowd, if you ask me - and everyone was so nice and polite! Considering the amount of beer+ being consumed all around me, I kind of expected things to go a bit out of hand with screaming, clapping, whoo-ing - ABSOLUTELY NOT. A bit of audience emotions at the very end, but otherwise, a very very clean tape! And what a loving committed crowd - I almost felt bad that I ‘lacked the historical perspective’ and couldn’t enjoy it as much as folks around me. Really fun, uplifting show!! 
Also, considering that Gordon was singing and dancing basically 5 feet in front of me - I filmed some songs and have a bunch of stills if anyone cares :) He didn’t seem to mind.

Many thanks to wooly143 and his friends for a drink afterwards - hope you guys have fun in Boston (and actually manage to get there on time considering the weather!).

Also huge thanks to BLG for his magic with mastering the tape INSTANTLY upon receipt :-)
