Notes: Gord D. was in fine form this night, looking up at the huge portrait of Queen Elizabeth II hanging from the rafters in the Arena. He called for a spotlight to be shone on the portrait, and then he proceeded to make fun of Her Majesty, complete with an uncanny vocal imitation. This particular rant is, by itself, well worth searching out the bootleg of this show for.Date: 11/21/96

Notes: The band started improvising "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald", a Gordon Lightfoot song, in the middle-jam of Meridian. Gord D. subbed his own lyrics, poking fun at Mike Harris, an Ontario provincial figure. A great find!Date: 11/30/96
