Food Memorial Center (Victoria)VICTORIA —
What will Canada do without Gordon Downey?
This is an outstanding issue at Save. On-
On Friday night at the food Memorial Center, 8,300 fans came to Vancouver Island for the last time to celebrate this unfortunate hip. “F—

Shirt outside the arena: a middle finger takes Donnie away from us and puts his hips in the history book.
There was sadness and anger, but at the end of the day there was a great sense of joy at the launch concert of the band\'s man-machine poetry tour.
The arena is full of memories when everyone tells their favorite hip story and talks about the first time they hear the band.
\"Too much to count\" is a common answer, either referring to the favorite song or the number of times people see a band at a concert.
There are enough places and faces to be mentioned, well, to fill in some of the miserable Hip Records.
Since 1984, the band has become Canada\'s own rock emissary, and has never been destined to be big elsewhere.
Dawn\'s lyrics are the mad man\'s poem, which contains too many Canadian poems.
It makes sense for us because the songs are about us, where we come from --
From bukagan to Lake Memphremagog to Mistaken Point in Newfoundland-
People who shape our land
From Jacques Cartier to Bill barrico

Get ready to lose yourself in Donnie, guitarist Robbie Baker and Paul Langlois, bassist Gordon Sinclair and drummer Johnny Fay.
When Donnie and the band took to the stage on time at 8: 30, the roar of the crowd was deafening. m.
Donnie is wearing a shiny pink suit, feathers on his hat, and carnival style. (
Later, the change of clothes will turn the suit into silver and then gold. )
\"When it starts to crash, it really crashes,\" Donnie sings in front of the band in unarmed boots or heart-shaped hearts, huddled in a ball in the middle of the stage, like playing a small bar in Sania, the bar straight into New Orleans is sinking.
Everyone hangs the lyrics on the top of the lungs.
All the emotions came in at once: smiles and tears were intertwined, and their arms were trembling.
Donnie gave him everything.
The Baker\'s slide solo was high and big when the high dough blew, and on the machine it was Donnie\'s turn to cry, \"I\'m a real machine.
\"There are more songs in 13 albums, man-machine poetry, including the blue, ironic, and angry fatigue brought by F-k and crunchy machines.
In part dedicated to the power of the 1998 Phantom, Donnie suddenly fell into a rare spoken language.
At the end of the favorite poet, he repeated, \"you don\'t have to worry.
He then imitated the painting on the canvas and reelded the silk on a fish with a microphone at the end of a full-star boar.
Many people hug and many cry.
\"I left your house this morning . . . . . . \" Donnie didn\'t say much to the crowd and preferred to have the lyrics and music do it. (
Including the last unpicked gem.
\"It\'s hard to say, it\'s sad, but it\'s true/I\'m a little silly and so are you \"-
Pure tonguein-cheek. )
He is a kind of dedication when he speaks.
\"This is for my good dad,\" he said before the lonely end of the rink.
In Apple\'s classic album Road, a monster little bone makes the crowd shout, \"Gaudi! Gordie!
\"It\'s been a long time,\" Donnie sang during a long run, and the phone lit up the stands.
Finally, Donnie stood alone in the spotlight, wearing a white top and golden trousers, a feather on his hat, and the whole room was screaming for him.
Farewell to the hero.
