CBC Q - Gordon Lightfoot - with acoustic performance

[jj]

http://www.cbc.ca/q/weekly/2012/04/13/this-week-on-q-97/

Our good man, Scott, scooped me again...Gord is on Q this Thursday, 10 am:)

Tuesday should also be interesting: Bernie Finklestein on his new memoir, True North: A Life Inside the Music Business

[Lisa J]

oh to be Canadian this week! Alas, we don't get that station in AZ! enjoy the show.

[charlene]

I was reading about the Finklestein book last night @ http://www.brucecockburn.org/bernie_finkelstein.htm
should be an interesting read..

[jj]

oh, you can't listen to the on lines CBC streaming radio outside of Canada???

anyhow, it's on right now ...wonder what acoustic song(s) he will play?

Restless?

[charlene]

and he's singing I'LL TAG ALONG now! LIVE in the studio. (for ME I'm sure!)
lolol
not much new stuff discussed but damn he sounds good right now!

[jj]

oh, i was waiting for Gord to dedicate I'll Tag Along to you, char, lol

the new live album wasn't re-mixed from audio captured at those gigs...that's a surprise

[charlene]

PRI and Sirius carry CBC Q... Jian said so..my gawd does he ever shut up??

[charlene]

omigawd that was INCREDIBLE...wow wow wow..
can't wait till tomorrow night @ Rama... oh yeah...bring it on.

[jj]

yeah, sounds good...i just want an album of this vibe/mix

raw, Gord....raw...it would sell as well as i expect this All Live cd will/won't

glad they didn't play Sundown...i think it's the weakest on the cd..and live

yeah, not much new but if bennies were part of the secret to early writings, then I'd recommend him taking a few again (if it weren't so dangerous to his ticker)

[jj]

why not the whole hour? that seemed like 8 minutes of interview

they even cut Restless short


instead we get 20 minutes on the Bachelor? lol

[charlene]

[Dan O'Malley]

I was surprised at how well he sounded on what is a favorite song of mine - mind you there are a lot of favorites. I have to confess that my exposure to Gord's music in recent years has been confined to those atrocious cell phone recordings posted on You Tube. I have thought why is he still doing this? I have missed the last few concerts of his in Calgary because of those terrible You Tube videos, and I think they do Gord a great injustice.
I thought he sounded great, although intimate settings may be the best sort of venue for him now.

yes any youtube video (especially cellphone mic quality) can't get that live vibe

but, in Gord's case unfortunately they aren't far off, imo

he needs to get out with Carter as a duo.... his voice can carry over guitar strings

i wonder how many songs he could play as that sort or intimate arrangement

anything where he is fingerpicking that 6 string would work, imo

yeah, char, that's more efficient than i also expected...must be some startling productivity going on there with all those jobs on the line, lol

Yeah, agreed...

He's getting a BIG hug tomorrow night!

He's getting a BIG hug tomorrow night!

Certainly did justice to "your" song...
