Approximately 25 per cent of Ottawa's residents were born outside of Canada.
Well here we go again after a well earned rest and it seems a good time was had by all. The Ottawa Citizen had this to say finishing with :-
... it was a incredible musical experience that made everyone in attendance happy to be alive.
There's a sweet little review here from a first timer who obviously wasn't a huge fan... before the gig anyway.
Backstreets has a full review suggesting Bruce was on good form:-
The request section didn’t turn up at this show, but Bruce did grab one card for the first encore song. "Nobody ever requests this!” he shouted, revealing to the crowd "Queen of the Supermarket." Still laughing, he leaned over to the woman who had provided the request, who revealed that she was "Caroline from Sobeys" (Sobeys is a venerable supermarket chain in Canada). He dismissed E Streeters from the stage because "the band doesn't know it" and spent about a minute reminding himself of the changes on the acoustic — then he nailed it, even throwing in the ad libbed line "She's waiting at Sobeys...." It would be interesting to see if Sobeys gets a sales bump in Ottawa this weekend.
"Glory Days" provided another great moment: someone in the pit had brought a life-size (well, actually a bit taller) cutout of Bruce, Lucky Town era, that found its way on to the stage. Little Steven propped it up ceneter stage, where he and Bruce danced around as if in a tribal ceremony. Bruce held the mic up to Cardboard Bruce ("Sing it for me, Bossman!"), but, sadly, got no response. Cardboard Bruce stayed up for "Dancing in the Dark" but got booted from the stage for the final song,
So here's the set list along side the previous list for comparison.
I'm always envious of any crowd who gets to hear Drive All Night but Queen Of The Supermarket - no comment !
