Luv Sic is one of my all time favourites, love the passion in his voice. And all the others you mentioned, so good.

Seeing them live on this tour was interesting as Gord really poured out his emotion singing these songs. You can really hear how much passion he is laying out on the album and it was about ten fold in concert. A lot of people didn’t like it as they felt he was just screaming too much through that era. That screaming didn’t stop until they toured fully completely again and what most people don’t realize about the final four was that his cancer forced him to go back to a more subdued stage presence to focus on the music again. Months earlier he couldn’t even remember the lyrics. The final shows in YYC were the lowest key I’d had ever seen him perform but he really crushed the music. It was remarkable to witness considering the hindsight we have now.
I still think the nod he gives in the Kingston show after finishing Ahead by a Century might be the most satisfying thing I’ve ever seen. The “we did it, I did it” release is just so beautiful. Go watch it again if you do know what I’m referencing.
