Great Review, Mags. I was in the VIP section as well. It was well worth the price we paid for our tickets. We were third row and seated right in front of PG. I've never had such amazing tickets in my life and PG is probably the only artist I'd consider doing it for again. It was my second time seeing PG. I saw his UP tour at the ACC. I still marvel at the energy he puts into every show. I'm really looking forward to the 3D movie because like you said, so much of the stage was obscured because it was so high up. I loved what little I saw of the orchestra during the sound check and I loved listening to them rehearsing that section of Digging In the Dirt during the reception. It's been two full months since the concert and I'm still reeling from the experience. I'm still amazed that the local musicians were able to gel so well with the touring orchestra after having worked with the conductor for just that morning.

I was at the Toronto Show on June 22 as well. It was a very special day as it was my 15th wedding anniversary with my wife. Special because PG was the first concert I took my girlfriend now my wife to. Special because the SO tour was her first concert ever… (Which ruined her concert experiences with other artist because because she saw the best first). And lastly it was special because we had our 13-year old son with us (A big PG fan himself). My son has Asperger syndrome and a host of 5 other co-morbidities. This syndrome makes it difficult to interact socially, so let’s just say he’s not a Hugger… That being said, he loves all types of music, from classical to grunge. He told me once, that music makes him “Feel”. So, we are at the show, and he's loving every moment of it… Then Peter begins speaking about his father and of a moment they had together that led him to write the song “Father, Son”. I look at my wife and my own son next to me and they are both glued to the stage. He started to sing the song and photos of Peter and his father flashed on the screens. Then, out of nowhere, my 13-year-old son put his arm around my shoulder and continues to look at the stage. At this point I started to weep, and I as looked at wife she was weeping too, and as a write this I am crying and have cried many time since. The special moment Peter had with his dad, gave me the most special moment I had with my son. I think of this day often. It has been saved in time, a marker if you will. Just as countless other songs of his are for me, but this tops my list. My wish is that Peter could feel what he has done for me… But all I have today is a simple Thank You…

He’s asked me many times that he would like to meet Peter, just to say hello, but I told him that I don’t think I can make that happen… (But what a gift it would be!) I read an interview on the BBC where the interviewer asks Peter about a song he wrote. He asked, ”What does that song mean”? Peter, as usual said, “it means a different thing to different people. I wrote the song but I don’t own it”. So, we are at the show, and he loves every moment… Then Peter began speaking about his father and a moment they had together that led him to write the song “Father, Son”.

It has been saved in time, just as a countless number of his songs, but this tops my list.
