I think you're right and wrong.
I think his treatment and condition is affecting his ability to remember lyrics.
However it is not uncommon for a signer to need a brush up on lyrics for deep cuts and obscure songs that are rarely are played, especially when so many deep cuts were played all tour. Given the fact that Gord appeared to be having issues on even the popular songs that he's presumably played live hundreds, if not thousands, of times.
