I remember when I heard the interview, I thought that was a pretty gutsy thing to do given the political tension here at the time.

he also did that one on the BBC special in 72, after he mentioned he cant speak a word of french!

Char, I am now on cloud nine, knowing that Gordon sang Circle of Steel live. Thanks for the Youtube evidence!!!!! :clap: :clap: :clap:

Now, I would continue to be on cloud nine if Gordon were to sing these songs live as well: Slide on Over, The Soul Is the Rock, A Passing Ship, Ecstasy Made Easy, Farewell to Anabel :biggrin:

Re: Help request: from long time concert goers

I have realised that my last listing from11.11.2012 has not yet been updated
So in the light of subsequent comments here which eliminated five songs here below are the remaining 34 of Gordon Lightfoot's released songs that as far as we can determine from the available resources were never performed by him in live concert, radio, or on television
Of those I somehow doubt if Gord would ever (again??) consider doing numbers 15 through 20 from his first United Artists album "Lightfoot".
But that still leaves a rich potential of 28 that could be gradually added to a rotation including in particular Cabaret and Farewell To Annabel YES PLEASE!!!
1.Slide on Over
2.The Soul is The Rock
3.Brave Mountaineers
4.Ordinary Man
5.A Passing Ship
6.Ecstasy Made Easy
7.You Just Gotta Be
8.Sometimes I Don't Mind
9.End Of All Time
10.Flyin' Blind
11.No Mistake About It
12.Sometimes I Wish
13.Cobwebs Dust
14.Poor Little Allison
15.Changes
16.Oh, Linda
17.Peaceful Waters
18.Pride of Man
19.Rich Man's Spiritual
20.The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face
21.Farewell to Annabel
22.Lazy Mornin'
23.Without You
24.She's Not The Same
25.Cabaret
26.Love & Maple Syrup
27.Redwood Hill
28.Same Old Loverman
29.Is There Anyone Home
30.Somewhere USA
31.Crossroads
32.Go Go Round
33.If You Got It
34.I'll Be Alright

Re: Help request: from long time concert goers

If you enlarge the Newport 65 set list
http://www.timegoesby.net/.a/6a00d83...3945970b-800wi
and scrut it closely you can just see that at that time The first Time. Peaceful Waters and Pride of Man were on Gord's then current rotation listing so were therefore most likely peformed live so that reduces the list by three more to 31
Also notable on that listing are Red Velvet and what looks like "If I Were" (A Carpenter??)
