Just the 25 years up to it. WTF hey.

I totally get it. I went to the last show in Edmonton and despite the heavy emotional energy pulsing through the arena it still felt fun and celebratory.
The Kingston show on CBC was FAR more intimate. They follow the band backstage and every angle is right there, up close and personal. I was noticeably more emotional watching that than I was live, but it was still an amazing and cathartic experience in its own way.
I watch the concert occasionally, and I've seen the documentary maybe twice. They Kingston concert didn't taint the Edmonton show for me, but I get wanting to hold on to that perfect decrescendo.
