Robert - I think it’s been floating around mislabeled as “At The Riverboat” for awhile. Bruce McE posted it a while back, so I asked him to send me the file… first thought was that it’d be perfect for the Canada Day Canadian Spaces… especially since my May 6 Canadian Spaces was very light on Gord content (right after his passing) since the show had been recorded the day before the news broke. Glad you’re enjoying it - it’s great quality - unfortunately I don’t know the source, but thanks to whoever recorded it! 🇨🇦
