Here's a great write up:

And my comments:

One thing the writer missed, and it was something I didn't realize until I thought about it today, was the stage setup. At the beginning the band was very tight together for the "Up to Here" stuff which I think was symbolic of their early days and performing on small, crowded bar stages. Once they finished the "Up to Here" portion, they widened out into a more traditional arena arrangement. I also think there was some hidden metaphor in Gord's outfits but still trying to figure it out.
