One of several shows I saw live .... miss these guys so very much. I remember they played Media Play at McKinley Mall just outside of Buffalo one afternoon, played 5 songs to a crowd of about 200. I stood stage left, foot on the stage, Gord standing right there next to me, video recording all of it ... had a unique copy of New Orleans Sinking until the computer I downloaded it on crashed .... chased these guys for years and saw them as often as I could
I had just met my ex wife when this concert happened. I had no idea they were at Darian Lake. I lived in Erie. The next summer I went to see them at the Erie County Fairgrounds on their Phantom Power tour. I don't care how much Gord riffs during songs, it's always the best show around.
Gord was seeing the Darien Lakes commercials from Kingston, via wutv29. Commander Tom, baby! Love from Canada. We wanted to share this band with the world but the world had their top40 stuff.
wow thank you for sharing I was at the Barrie show on this tour. I felt like this was before a time when things like this were captured. Thank you this is amazing. =) memory lane
great post! good edits, and I love how the titles remind me of Hexenkettle! can't complain about the sound on a bootleg of a 25 year old concert, I'm actually really impressed by the video quality, tracking lines and all 🙂
I remember the crowd being pretty mean to Cheryl Crow. Wilco made a lasting impression and a lifelong fan. Los Lobos was also amazing (but when aren't they?)
And then he got in his car across the bridge drove down the 190 got off at the Pembroke exit 48a arrived at Darien Lake got back in his car wrote a letter to the corporate office and ask for his money back. What a horrible, amusement park this place turned into dirty crowded not enough staff to run the operations no new rides rides out of order with no explanation. Concert area the sound sucks unless you're under the tent if you're on the lawn you're not going to hear a fucking thing you're not going to get out of the parking lot for at least 2 or 3 hours the band has to be off stage no later than 11 p.m. even if they're in mid song The Acoustics the sound the sound system the PA system the prices for food and beverages does everything fucking sucks. When Darien Lake used to have the old concert venue the Lakeside Amphitheater that was such a nice little cool intimate venue built actually right on one of the man-made Lakes all general admission only as well first come first serve for standing viewing purposes. Now we use it for that stupid fucking laser light show every night that has been the same since its Inception underneath the Silver Bullet Ride that was shut down for the whole season to accommodate the laser light fantasy that is still the same fucking show every night since 1992. Still the same fucking show Darien Lake I bet you would ends with and I'm proud to be an American? Thank you for coming out Pepsi is our sponsor? Fuck you Darien Lake fuck you so much fuck you right in your fucking overpriced bulshit ass. I'm sad to see Fantasy Island closing down memories on top of memories there I know that was a shit Park but it's all I knew when I was a kid. And you know what it wasn't that bad? Greetings from Buffalo New York
lol I was just reading in 'Never-Ending Present' the book on the Hip, Gord said on Nautical Disaster if he missed a line the whole thing would be impossible for him to recover

"Oh, I don't know I had an Oh Henry! last time...so I think I want to try a Coffee Crisp!" Greatest frontman who has ever lived.
Rock and roll just doesn't get any more honest than this. Mistakes and all, I love this band!!!!

Greatest band ever. Period.
Anyone with access to Buffalo TV stations in the 70's and 80's gets the Darien Lake references. LOVE this show, thanks uploader!
I saw the Hip at Darien but I don’t think it was this show.
Gord was seeing the Darien Lakes commercials from Kingston, via wutv29. Commander Tom, baby! Love from Canada. We wanted to share this band with the world but the world had their top40 stuff.
Just beautiful. Love this band. Saw them in Ottawa this past August. Miss them already.

What does this have to do with the TH?
@@chrisedward7575 Probably just another random Gord monologue.
