We arrived on the field around 2:30pm just in time to listen to Matt Minglewood start off the show. Let me tell you, for an old guy he's still got it going on. I was swooned by Blue Rodeo, fell in love with the way that Johnny Reid spoke (not such a fan of his music, but I could listen to him talk to for hours!).
Then what I had been waiting for... Gord Downey took the stage and stole my heart.
When Daniel and I started dating he would sing me Hip and Springstien songs that would melt my heart. Standing there with his arms around me, watching Gord prance around the stage ( I really don't know what else you can call his style of entertianment), made the experience perfect. 
Despite the heat, the beating down sun, and the long wait, the ticket was worth every penny I spent on it. And while the Tragically Hip, were opening for The Eagles, to me this was the best part of the show.
The Eagles on the other hand, well I liked their music.. love it actually.. but the only thing I learned while watching the Eagles is that Joe Walsh is still the man. <3
