NOTES:    Unfortunately, one really drunk girl decided to scream periodically throughout the show and wouldn't you know it, the mics were sitting right in front of her... because they were on the other side of the barrier, I couldn't move them. Other than that, this is a pretty nice tape. Big thanks to Lindsay for the great tickets...

Notes:
-Before HST MS states that the song takes place in the future that is his dreams "ever and always, since I was a little baby boy".
-MS has the megaphone for Orange Crush
-Before IWTBW MS tells fans who are interrupting his story to 'write a letter".  He goes on to recite the first line then "maybe you don't know and maybe the things you think you know are assumptions and they would be fair assumptions based on what you know of me".  When he mentions Texas in his standard intro the Canadian audience boos.  "You can't judge Texas based on one or three people".  After the song "I'm not quite sure I made my point there, I'll try and clean it up in the encore".
-Before Rockville MS announces Alberta is the winner of the 'battle of the provinces' (I failed to note which song he had issued this challenge before).  MS also notes they are playing Pilgrimage due to a fan holding a sign "So put your sign down".  After he is introduced, MM notes he is wearing a black cowboy hat because he noticed lots of people wearing said hats around Calgary.

​

Grade: D
-Again, not a terrible listen but quality of shows has been outstanding to this point and this one falls below average.
