Have the DVD, have it on DVR, sometimes just play it in the background while I'm cleaning the house.

And these lines send a chill

I felt on the night that this might have been the last song, so that that was the last line.

Buddy, I cried a lot last night don't make me cry again. Honestly one of the best live performances ever. You can hear how he was putting everything into it and it's so raw and visceral and haunting and beautiful.

I still can’t read the book. I’ve had it since once it came out but I’m not ready for that goodbye yet.

Oh man... I saw the final show in Calgary, and when he came out to start the set, he said something like "the ship's going down guys... it's not good...", there were very few dry eyes, wife and myself were both leaking tears, but man, what a performance. I'm so glad I went. Pretty emotional night, but now, 10 years or so later, I wouldn't trade that memory for much.

Rest easy, Gord!
