Knock 'em dead, Alan! Methinks you will be glad to be on that stage tonight. Have fun. We'll be here waiting for you to post a From the Road whever you can manage it. See you in August!

Can't wait to see the Juno performance. I have a feeling you'll gain quite a few new fans through it.
Looking forward to any From The Sets you can find time for. Have a great time playing dress-up.

Saw you last night in Victoria. Just wanted to say THANKS, great show, lots of engergy. You showed no signs of jet lag or air fatigue. Good Luck on Sunday, we will be rooting for ya.

I agree with Ferriegal. AMAZING show, and the rock-out with Spirit of the West at the end will definitely stay with me for a long time. :) Plus the stage banter was hilarious. Well worth every dollar of that ticket.

Will be rooting for you on Sunday and keeping my eyes peeled for the next time you're in town. Next time I'll drag my sister along -- ironically enough she's in Labrador right now, in North West River with Katimavik. She was complaining that she couldn't come see you, ha.

And props to Sean for apparently doing the show sick. Holy cow. o_o Couldn't tell it from looking at him.

Rock On Alan. It's definitley big time. Would love to see GBS as Best Band on Sunday. Not to worry though... you guys are already Best Band for a lot of folks!!
Lots of new experiences coming your way.
Enjoy them all.
I believe by now you should be able to do that pre-flight presentation :)

Take very good care of yourself.

Alan,
What an amazing show last night! We had a fantastic time, dancing and singing along, mere rows from the stage. You'd never have known you'd been flying all day... You (and your voice) were incredible, as usual! Loved every minute. Thank you!
Good luck at the Junos. I'll be rooting for you and b'ys!

Stunt double? Wow...bet you never thought you could see that. Bet you're still the better looking out of the two...it couldn't have been easy to find another guy who looks like you...you're one of a kind.

I'll bet these next few months will fly by and you'll be home with the Prince and your fair one once again.

Really hope you guys win the JUNO; you deserve it. Even if you guys don't win,I want you to know that you guya are OUR Juno, and we'll always love you no matter what. You must be doing something right to be in the company that you are in for the award. Go GBS!

You're the most humble rock star and (future) movie star I know. Good on ya b'y!

Cheers Mr. Rockstar, we love you!!!

Since I've 'discovered' Great Big Sea I have raved about the band to anyone that I can get to listen- and quite a few who haven't. Hope to see you on tour further south in the states. I'm old (51) and not much into traveling, plus my checking account is normally flat lined, but I would make an exception just to get to enjoy you guys LIVE.

Definitely rock 'n' roll. Wow. Maybe you are flying too much, but all those flights are allowing you to be able to do amazing things.

And your most successful tour ever! Another wow. It proves, though, that you guys just get better and better. Someone said somewhere that you guys are like a great wine: you get better with age. I like how that was put, because it's absolutely true. As you grow and mature and embrace new sounds, you continually do what we all would've thought impossible: top yourselves.

You are lucky, but I agree that you make your own luck. It isn't mere chance that you and GBS are nominated for a JUNO, that GBS had an incredibly successful tour, and that you're playing a significant role in a major film. Those achievements require skill, talent, and years of dedication. So here's an electronic pat on the back.

Hey there Alan Good luk to you and the band on Sunday. Wish I could be there with you. Suzanne

wow - who would have thought that you'd just jumped off the plane and Sean was battling the flu? Last night's show was amazing. It was the largest sized venue that I've seen you guys perform in and you totally brought forth the level of energy that's required (and then some). As always, the people who I brought to the show who'd never really heard of you walked away as huge fans.

I'll be watching Sunday night (alas via tv only) to see you take home the gold. It's gonna happen!

Hey Alan!
You brought a tear to my eye on this sunny Saturday morning. I love that you are in awe and grateful to life for this wonderful movie adventure. That is the key to happiness if you ask me! Being able to look around and say: Wow!
My heart just sank when I read about you missing home! I know exactly what you mean.
I just want to thank you for your incredible generosity. Not too many rock stars would take their fans along on this journey . We have never met (yet) but I feel like I have the privilege to follow you on this amazing ride. Looking forward to watching the Junos! Take care...and thanks for the FTRs. Keep em coming!

Hmmm, stunt double..will there be any need for any other kind of "double" in this film or does that fall under "stunt" as well? LOL

also, be kind to the editing team!

Have a blast and thanks for letting us peak into the filming window!
