I'm a just a little excited about the show , so I thought I'd start a thread now where we can post our reviews tomorrow! Make sure to post if you went, especially WendyS since this is your first BR show!

And I wonder what am I doing here??

Well, let's just say things didn't quite work out for me. I'm really glad Andrew and I got to meet WendyS, Kara, and FallenDownBlue, and I'm really glad Andrew got to talk with Jim about guitars (he even felt Andrew's callouses and gave him a high five!), that he signed the pick he gave Andrew last year, and that we got some photos with Jim and Bazil...but as luck would have it, after finding out Andrew could go to the show too, he got sick and I had to take him to my brother's house and put him to bed. So, here I am with my sick boy, feeling bad for him, but just as bad for myself that I won't get to see the show (which starts in 2 hours), and worse yet, I won't get to see Greg. Anyway, hope you all have a great time and let me know how the show was.

HBA I am sorry to hear things turned out the way they did. I know you have been looking forward to the show for a long time. I hope they get to your neck of the woods again soon.

Greg Keelor met Jim Cuddy and then I met you people. Serendipity is a marvellous thing.

Well it's just about 4 am and I can't sleep because the concert tonight was so amazing. I am so lucky to have been able to see BR tonight. I made it to the front again, only this time I was on the Cuddy side. How Amazing. As a side note, my friend saw BR coming into Regina at the airport and she didn't talk to them or ask them for their autograph. She has way more control than I would have had.

I am sorry that things didn't turn out for you the way you planned Tracy!! I am happy that you got to meet some of the board members!!

Wow... Talk about "Murphy's Law", HBA! Sorry to hear things turned out the way they did for you.

Oh, well...If it makes you feel any better - I bet you Kate was there with Greg so you probably wouldn't have had much "quality" time with him anyway!

jellolyn... Sounds like you had a blast! Good to hear!

Looking forward to more reviews!!

Thanks for the update, jellolyn! Glad you had a great time at the show!! (sounds like you were standing right in my favourite spot! - Jim's side!!) Thanks for filling in for my absence! hee hee Any good banter last night? Surprise songs?? I'll bet the place was packed! Brier shows can be pretty rowdy. Can't wait to hear more...Kara? FDB? WendyS?

HBA! Oh, you poor thing....I feel SO sorry for you and Andrew! I sure hope Andrew is feeling ok...some of those bugs are nasty that are going around! Gosh, what a bummer about the show!!! You mentioned chatting with Jim and Baz...where was Greg pre-show? Did you get in on sound check? Well, when you have some time, let us know, or drop me an email. Don't worry - next time they're here, we'll make up for it and make sure both of you have a great time! Take care & look forward to hearing from you girl...

Where's the review guys? We want to know how everything went? Sorry to hear about your circumstances HBA. I know how much you were looking forward to it. Did you get pictures before hand though, when you went and talked to Jim? Did you ask where Greg was? I just feel so sorry for you. You will have to make up for it next time they're around.

I know that Kara & FDB were heading home today so they won't be posting until tonight or tomorrow. No doubt they were up late having a blast even though there other buds weren't with them.

Be careful travelling home, those that have to hit the highways out of Regina today! We are getting more snow, snow, snow....it's dumped another half a foot in our driveway since last night here in Stoon! Still continuing through tonight....

Can't wait to hear more! Looking forward to Kara and FDB's reviews!

I am so sorry you couldn't make it to the show. We were sort of keeping an eye out for you, but couldn't see you.

The show was the drunkest I'd ever been to, (and I've been to some really drunk ones). It's a good thing they're putting lids on the beverages this year.... It was still fun though, and I was hardly touched or pushed at all.

Hmmm...I suspected as much! The Brier here was pretty "pushy" last time ...if it wasn't for my hubby standing behind my friend and I, I think we would have been crushed against the guardrail! There was some drunk woman playing with our hair as well during the show, which was very annoying! But all in all, we did enjoy BR tremendously!! Glad to hear you had fun Kara!

Any funny remarks or memorable moments? It's been so long since I've been to a show...I need details!

I'm home now too; flights were all late today with the snow that fell.

Well, I have to echo Kara in saying it was the drunkest I've been to, even drunker than the Calgary Stampede show I've seen which was pretty bad in itself. By the end of the show, we felt like sardines being squished together by the pressing crowd behind us.

As far as the show itself goes, the boys played pretty well all the well-known hits; no surprise rarities. We didn't keep track of the exact set-list; we were too busy holding back the crowd. I know that I'll never be able to hear Head Over Heels again without thinking of Regina (a hit that they didn't play despite the efforts of the woman behind my now deaf right ear). There wasn't a lot of banter and Jim did most of the talking. A highlight for me was hearing him hit the high notes in Try and Can't Help Wonderin' Why; it's so nice to hear his voice back again.

It was nice meeting 'the couple from Saskatoon' (I'm sorry, I never caught your names) and it was nice sharing the sardine tin with you. Tracy, it was also nice meeting you and Andrew and I'm very sorry that you ended up missing the show. You're a very good mom for putting his needs before your own as I know how much you were wanting to go to this.

They closed the encore with Lost Together. As Greg sang these words, I looked around me and nodded and grinned and when I looked back at Jim he was grinning too:

"I stand before this faceless crowd
and I wonder why I bother
so much contolled by so few
stumbling from one disaster to another..."
