Subject: RE: Bruce Cockburn Special on CBC TV
You at the Stratford concert, too, Mooh? Are you talking about the one about, oh, maybe, 15 or 20 years ago? That was GREAT! A more recent absolutely tremendous performance was a solo concert at the University of Waterloo Humanities Theatre. It was exquisite.

I've seen Bruce MANY times live, and the only place I didn't like was at Hillside Festival a couple of years ago....it wasn't his fault.....the sound system was horrendously echoey; his guitar and his voice arrived a beat apart. At first, I thought he was just freshening up some old repertoire with some sort of syncopation game, but nope, it was the sound system.

Did I ever mention that I got to talk to Bruce for a while on the staircase of Mountain Equipment Co-op....
