About The Album
On February 7, 2005, Blue Rodeo celebrated the twentieth anniversary of their
first gig by returning to the scene of the crime (The Rivoli in Toronto) and
gathering together the original five band members for one unforgettable
night of nostalgia. In the twenty years since their first gig at The Rivoli,
Blue Rodeo have sold millions of records, won countless awards and traveled
the world time and time again while Jim Cuddy and Greg Keelor have gained
notoriety as two of Canada's greatest songwriters (their names fit
comfortably alongside those of Neil Young, Joni Mitchell and Gordon
Lightfoot). That night in February was a celebration of a band that has not
only endured but flourished. Blue Rodeo are a band never afraid to embrace
their past as they continue to forge a path towards their future.
