The song 'Courage' is tremendous, and the version on 'Fully Completely' is great, as are the rest of the songs...Here, however, Gordon Downey acts like a clown, and destroys the song...The rest of the band play well, but the clown singing is disgraceful.
he is so aweful live i just have to say that he sounds nothing like the albums and I saw him live it was hard to bear. ...still love them but really aweful live
As far as I know, this song is about suicide, and everythig makes sense. I could be wrong, but the lyrics are there, and I seem to recall an interview.
Just downloaded the full video after watching the dvd for that night in toronto I caught their concert in Peterborough and needed more! Thanks for sharing all this with us, must have been the best european vacation ever!
You're the Canadian Jim Morrison (Gord) except with a Great Sence of Humour.
Peace & Bless,,Kirk.

Are you kidding me??? Gord makes "The Hip" real. He has his own style and loads of energy. Go to one of their shows and you'll get his vibes!!!!
