Nov 28 Concert Review

[Gord]

Okay I'm beat and I have to work in the morning but I was left instructions to make a report when I got home as I was the only one who lives close lol.

He was greeted with a thunderous applause when he took the stage, and his opening song was Spanish Moss. It was apparent he has been away for a couple of years as he appeared to be a bit shaky at times but given what he has gone through totally understandable.

The songs he laid down down were: Sundown,The Wreck, IFYCRMM, Harmony, Let it Ride,Christian Island, Old Dan's Records,In My Fashion, Couchiching, River of Light,Triangle,Sit Down Young Stranger,Cotton Jenny, and ended it with Early Morning Rain.

On a serious note, he made it quite clear he was extremely grateful to the staff at McMaster. I'm paraphrasing here but the gist of it was that if it wasn't for them he wouldn't be "standing here" He also made mention of his many friends and family who were in the audience and he also mentioned us " Net People" lol http://www.corfid.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

We did get a bit of a scare during IYCRMM, for some reason he just stopped playing his guitar and he had a hell of a time remembering the words, he turned away from the stage to compose himself and he did resume the song.

Everybody in the theatre was camera happy including me, I think of 15 pictures I took 3 turned out... will post those later. My intent was to get near the stage to get better shots but I was pretty well boxed in as Bill W can attest to.

In closing, it was really great meeting some of the members here in Hamilton, nice putting a face to the names.

Anyway work calls.... pictures tomorrow http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif

Thanks for the review Gord. Wish I could have been there. I hope GL is feeling OK. It must have been quite exhausting for him after 2 years. All those songs with the crowd in front of him. I'll bet he was feeling very emotional inside. http://www.smilieland.com/graphics2/musik1.gif

[Tyler]

Wow Sit Down Young Stranger, that has been off the song list for a while, wish I could have heard it.
Thank You Gord for taking the time to fill us in. You are a Saint! So what did he say about us Net People, I hope he was including those who couldn't make it.
Thanks
Deb

He was probably saying, "I snuck into the chat room under an alias, and those net people, especial Brink and Bill, the guy who wears pink underwear, where acting so bad."

Time for me to hit the sack. I've got to work tomorrow. YUK....

Wow, Gord... I'm just speechless! I actually blew a kiss to my screen (to GL) when I read what you wrote -- that he mentioned us!!! Wow... I guess he really knows we're here, rooting for him, loving him... thinking of him!! How wonderful! I've been on pins and needles all day! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I almost started to cry when you mentioned the part during IYCRMM..., he's such a fine person, he can do no wrong. He deserves such happiness. I will sleep happier tonight after reading what you wrote. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! >kisses to GL<

Sheryl

P.S. Thank you SO MUCH for the great pictures, Gord!!

Debs, how much of that Capt.Morgan do you have left?

[Betty]

Gord,

Thanks so much for letting us have a little sample of last night. I sure wish I could have been there, but it's so good of you to take the time to inform us....

I'm a little surprised he didn't do more songs from the Harmony CD, but what a great list of songs.

I can't wait to actually see him in concert!

Thanks again! I'll wait patiently for pictures.

LIGHTFOOT BACK IN FINE FORM AND FEELING NO PAIN FOR HHS BENEFIT
BY GRAHAM ROCKINGHAM
Hamilton Spectator
November 29, 2004

The staff of McMaster University Medical Centre got to see the product
of their handiwork last night as Gordon Lightfoot performed his first complete
concert since being struck down by a near fatal aneurism more than two
years ago.

And what they saw was a chatty Lightfoot, full of vitality, singing new
songs and legendary hits with a surprisingly strong voice.
Lightfoot performed the first of two sold-out benefit concerts dedicated to
tonight, will likely be Lightfoot’s last until he plays Toronto’s Massey Hall in
May.

Halfway through his 80-minute show, Lightfoot paused to personally
thank Dr. Michael Marcaccio, the surgeon who performed several operations
on him during a 13-week period in the fall of 2002.

“I had a wonderful experience there,” Lightfoot said before playing Sundown,
with its “I’m feeling no pain” chorus. “I’ve said it before and I’ll say it
again, it’s a family atmosphere there.... “Thank you, everyone at McMaster.”

Summertime Dream. It was the first of many classics spanning the Lightfoot
songbook, including Minstrel of the Dawn, Rainy Day People, Cotton Ginny,
a near-perfect rendition of The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald and an
outstanding Early Morning Rain, as an encore.

During the concert’s opening songs he seemed frustrated with his guitar
playing –“my fingers are not yet talking to me,” he told the crowd – and at
times was a bit rusty on some of the lyrics. But the crowd was more than forgiving,
voice grew stronger and more confident, so that by the time he sang
Sit Down Young Stranger and If You Could Read My Mind, it was like listening
to Lightfoot of 30 years ago.

His vocals were particularly strong on three songs from Harmony, an album
that he pieced together from his hospital bed from rehearsal tapes he
had recorded at Hamilton’s Grant Avenue studios before his illness.

“When I was working on my record in ward 4-Z, a couple of nurses stuck
their heads in and said ‘Gee, we like that song,’” Lightfoot said while introducing
Lightfoot is donating the net proceeds from the two concerts – which
could total as much as $100,000 – to the Hamilton Health Sciences Foundation.
As well, about 100 tickets were given free to hospital staff who were involved
in Lightfoot’s care at the McMaster site.

“Sure there will be some cash going to the hospital,” Lightfoot said in a brief
interview before the show. “But more importantly, I want people to think of
this as a gesture of thanks to them, a dedication.”

I hope you don't mind, Annie, but I stole your article and posted it on the newsgroup. There has been no mention of Gord's concert and I know people are wondering.

Gord's voice sounded a lot stronger than it did during the Peterborough concert, his band was equally strong... the one thing I noticed he tended to pick songs that didn't require him to strain his voice much. http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif

Ah, My Dear Bru - for you I shall make a special trip to the liquor mart and purchase another flask for the two of us to share, I am sure I have emptied this bottle far too much to do either of us any good. I also drink this when I am being naughty in the chat room, ask Cathy.
One night to go partner - we'll make it!

15. Couchiching

I recognize the line "Where Will You Go?" That's from "Farewell To Annabel!" http://www.corfid.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Gord,great review! I wish I'd been one of the "net" people that attended! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/wink.gif

Y'know,if he doesn't get on this site,do you think he could be referring to the card i got him for his birthday last year?

I signed all the possible names I could and also wrote a short letter describing our site and how to find it. So he just "might" be here! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif That's sooo cool! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/cool.gif

He's been aware of us for a very long time, and many of us have met him. This isn't the first time he's mentioned the Net people. I believe he did it during one of his last Massey Hall concerts, where he dedicated Sit Down Young Stranger to us. Also, one other concert on the East Coast, in Torrington or Redbank, or one of those places. I don't know. We went to so many that they are all just kind of overlapping one another.

Cathy,
I was at both said concerts too. Cant wait to relive the joy of seeing him perform 'live' again in May. You remember what we planned to do at his first return Massey concert? Should we begin rehearsing yet?

Uhhh... uhhh... What were we going to do again? Did it involve stealing the handle off from someone's toilet? Or was it ordering room service for a lucky winner of a free continental breakfast, but eating part of it, knocking on the winner's door and running like h*ll?
It didn't involve anything having to do with whipped cream, did it?
Spaghettios?
Or did it have something to do with paying off the porter to carry a certain person's bags to his/her room, and having the porter deliver the bags and person to a small utility room with a cot in it?
Or was it all of the above?

Hi Gwen,
Look at the tour dates on http://www.lightfoot.ca
The Massey concert dates aren't there yet, though.
