What? So I'm pretending to be an NHL fan? How so? I'll be watching on Saturday night for sure. Especially the late game (as it proves to be better almost all the time). But not nearly as exciting as Tyke hockey games at 7:30am on Saturday I would have watched last night, but as I posted, I don't get Sportsnet. Sorry if i watched the highlights online, read the news, and heard some radio. I guess I'm not allowed to say anything

wtf? 2000 empty seats last night? Didn't watch since I don't get Sportsnet right now. The Maple Losses did it again. Way to go! This sets up The Battle Of The Basement tomorrow night against Carolina. Who the fuck will waste their time watching? I know I've got better things to do

Laffs vs Senaturds Does anyone really care? I think I'll play the Wii tonight instead

Ha! I was there too. I remember red, white and blue banners and shit all over. Wasn't that some grand reopening after renovations or something? I recall getting some "commemorative" cup with my beer in it I remember doing Rochester, Buffalo, then heading to Syracuse just a week later Jerry Garcia Band Sunday, Nov 14, 1993 On Center, Syracuse, NY - Set 1 - Cats Under The Stars Stop That Train Let It Rock Run For The Roses Ain't No Bread In The Breadbox Senor (Tales Of Yankee Power) Deal - Set 2 - I Second That Emotion And It Stoned Me Tore Up Over You Lazy Bones The Maker Night They Drove Old Dixie Down Midnight Moonlight

Last tour closer went for over 3.5 hours!! Show is now sold out Who's got my extra?

Some of the shows that are happening at the same time that Phish are in town at MSG:

Yup, I know it's the same night as Phish in Syracuse. However, this is the tour closer for Bruce and the E-Street Band. There is a possibility this could be the last E-Street show ever if they choose to not tour again (a good possibility). They have been covering Springsteen albums on this tour. For the Buffalo stop it's gonna be GREETINGS FROM ASBURY PARK!!! Fuck Yeah Sorry Phish, I think I'm going to see The Boss instead. Catch ya on the next tour Too bad it wasn't an off night for Phish as maybe Trey would have shown up

hmmm ... Saturday night in Buffalo, eh? That could be fun.

A truly memorable live experience it was. Having seen Cockburn many times over the years, i never tire of it. He always brings something fresh and new along with that massive catalogue of material from his past. I think the only time i've caught him solo was when he did that mini set of shows on the same bill as Weir/Wasserman. The room was tiny and sounded fantastic. There was almost no need for amplification, but he does layer his sound with some effects and all What can I say about how this man plays the guitar? To see him up close like that you simply get mesmerized and hyptnotized. He makes it look so easy. I love the way he maintains a rock steady rhythm with his thumb while dancing all over the place with his 3-finger picking style. Add on top of that his incredibly poignant, poetic and emotionally-charged lyrics and you might get the idea Timmy, thanks so much for posting the detailed setlist. I can NEVER remember that stuff after. Song selection was really varied and covered a lot of albums (albeit not much from his 70s catalogue) and it flowed beautifully. Weaving in and out of songs that are politically charged, to emotional, to sarcastic and humourous. A few of the highlights for me: Lovers in a Dangerous Time Great opener. This song takes me back to memories of being a camp counsellor. It includes one of my favourite Cockburn lyrics: Sometimes you're made to feel as if your love's a crime -- But nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight -- Got to kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight How I Spent My Fall Vacation Typical example of how Bruce paints the most amazing scenes with his words. I love this shit: I saw an old lady's face once on a Japanese train Half lit, rich with soft luminosity She was dozing straight upright head bobbing almost imperceptibly Wheels were playing fast in 9/8 time Her husband's friendly face suddenly folded up in a sneeze Across the straight a volcano flew a white smoke flag of surrender Stolen Land Everytime i've heard this song it stirs up emotions and is aided by the anger in which he sings it. These songs with messages are not preachy by any means, however they drive the point home like no others. In my mind I catch a picture -- big black raven in the sky Looking at the ocean -- sail reflected in black eye -- Sail as white as heroin, white like weathered bones -- Rum and guns and smallpox gonna change the face of home In this stolen land... Peggy's Kitchen Wall I've always enjoyed this song. The sing-a-long refrain was kinda fun too Down to the Delta Tasty tasty instrumental i'd never heard live before. Bradm, i wish you were there taping this Dust and Diesel ahhh, just another favourite in the list. Dust and diesel Rise like incense from the road Smoke of offering For the revolution morning This is Baghdad I remember reading a long article on Cockburn when he returned from his visit to Baghdad. Like a great war photographer it's incredible what he can capture in only a handful of stanzas. Carbombed and carjacked and kidnapped and shot How do you like it, this freedom we brought We packed all the ordnance but the thing we forgot Was a plan in case it didn't turn out quite like we thought My So Called Buddy Never Called Me Back This was a quick comedic effort after some of the heavier stuff. It basically poked fun at how ridiculously attached we all are to our communication devices and how that effects our interactions with our friends and behaviours. Each One Lost Shit, this brought a tear to my eyes. He introduced this one by explaining how his little brother was doing a tour in Afghanistan as a doctor. Bruce was able to get over there very recently with a special observational group to visit. While there, he experienced a Ramp Ceremony that he could only describe as unbelievably heavy. This should be used with film of Canadians and their efforts in Afghanistan. Waiting for a Miracle By request from the audience. Who can complain? I'm sure Jerry was listening to this one with us for sure. All those out there who tirelessly try to make this world a better place should have this as their anthem. You rub your palm On the grimy pane In the hope that you can see Last Night of the World A fitting finish to a stellar evening. I've seen the flame of hope among the hopeless And that was truly the biggest heartbreak of all That was the straw that broke me open I was fortunate to grow up listening to Bruce Cockburn because of my MOM. While she took me to shows when I was a kid, I got to hear (it's in the deep recesses of my mind somewhere) him at the Mariposa Festival when it used to be on The Island. That was back in '74 or '75! I was only 4, but as thanks, i had to get a ticket to this show for my Mom. It meant a lot. Last time we saw Cockburn together had been at Massey Hall in '91. This man's material is a treasure. A songwriter and poet who should be mentioned alongside the Dyalns and Lightfoots of this world IMHO. Thanks for such a special night. Thanks Bruce. Thanks Mom ps - good running into you edger. Sorry we didn't have more time to chat. Had to get home to the kids and relieve my sister of her Aunt duties.

LOL ... good stuff. I like Mac users like you guys You are princes in a sea of douchebags

[color:purple] Genius Apple has done such a good marketing job creating a "culture" around their products. They have also created a "fashion" and "holier-than-thou" element

I don't believe you have a real MAC. MAC's never have problems and never need to be rebooted.

Thank You. I wear my grandfather's gold ring that he received when WWII ended for his service. I remember everyday when I look at it. I can't imagine what it must have been like being an officer on a minesweeper in the cold Atlantic. He used to tell me stories of all the crazy times they had, but mainly about all the people that he served with. We are forever in your debt.
