lots of dedicated work in capturing stuff as usual char, way to go!


i know our one channel on the mic gets covered at time as your grasp and adjust your grip, but when it's full stereo that thing is very impressive

that cast should be really happy your captured the finale, and i hope they get to dial in, including Gord… it would have been nice to drop it a tone for the guy (he was clutching his heart, digging down deep!) … hey, i loved Sexsmith … he didn't need to words at all and wouldn't it have been a great frame without that stand and pages flipped over, but what a steady job you did throughout … i think this should have been right on Canada Day, pre-fireworks… then again, that finale Sunday eve already had all the young (and old) guns firing :)

Re: SUNDOWN @ 40 - June 29-Harbourfront-Toronto
 

oh yeah, Gord's heart is on the other side, lol

Re: SUNDOWN @ 40 - June 29-Harbourfront-Toronto
 

they can use iPads these days that clip onto mic stand, less obstructive

i wondered if the arrangement developed into something very interesting because there are so many possibilities with that mid and final section

is Jacob Moon directly related to Liz? (was she there? or Mer? etc)

Mer could have done a pretty cool version of one of the tracks

thx for capturing what you did :) … the young man has nice tone!

Re: SUNDOWN @ 40 - June 29-Harbourfront-Toronto
 

Gordon was totally on his own. I thought perhaps Jacob was a distant relative of Eliz.Lightfoot from searches online..perhaps not..
yeah - the grip on the camera sometimes has my finger on the mic and holding the flash down.. surprisingly the sound either way is quite good considering we were 2 feet from massive speakers..
If Ontario Arts Council wants they can fund Ipads for their touring artists.lol..
Tony said he got a couple of videos as well...

Re: SUNDOWN @ 40 - June 29-Harbourfront-Toronto
 

It was a terrific event! So glad I was able to make it. Thanks for the pic Char, although with the flash not going off I'm probably still waiting for the perfect pic with Lightfoot LOL Hats off to Tom Wilson and the gang for organizing a first-class tribute. It was a treat hearing the entire album rather than "just the hits." I have two pretty good quality videos to post once I get them uploaded.

Re: SUNDOWN @ 40 - June 29-Harbourfront-Toronto
 

It's a pity there's no video of the "Is There Anyone Home" cover version. I've never heard any mention of Gord performing it live or anyone else covering it. (And it's probably my favourite song from the "Sundown" album.)

Re: SUNDOWN @ 40 - June 29-Harbourfront-Toronto
 

Dave - I thought the damn camera was recording and only when Terra was done did I realize it wasn't .I tend to hold the camera in a way that I can check it and still watch the stage..The wee REC on the dark screen is hard to see and the even smaller little bar to press to begin recording is in a spot that is hard to access.. one of the design flaws in the small cameras..everything has to be jammed into such a small camera body and even for a woman's fingers (with nails) it's a pain) She did a fab cover and we also saw her at sound check! arrghh.. I hope a video surfaces from somebody else who was there that night...

Re: SUNDOWN @ 40 - June 29-Harbourfront-Toronto
 

its certainly interesting to get everyone's impressions… i am not into all those minor and major 7th chords or the melody but the lyric are Lightfoot standard… maybe TG recorded that one…. Terra Lightfoot is another of Wilson's friend's….maybe they all took GO train in from Hamilton… char if you like those artists then check out the Hamilton Music Awards one year…Tom has hosted

Re: SUNDOWN @ 40 - June 29-Harbourfront-Toronto
 

those are pro pics…. love the Ron and Gord chat in the green room with others watching …i don't now who gal with blonde streak hair is…

i don't get the 40th Sundown award… did he get one at 25th year, or 30th and will he get one at 50th anniversary? … does it way West Jet on it? :)

who was the lady host?

Re: SUNDOWN @ 40 - June 29-Harbourfront-Toronto
 

hey i guess Billboard rules us all, but it's interesting that the concert was on Jun 29 and that when CHUM charts had the album at #4 and the single was dropping to #7

Re: SUNDOWN @ 40 - June 29-Harbourfront-Toronto
 

i've made a thread in the Covers section ..Brian does a wonderful job covering it raw/live even in less than ideal mic set up …but the song and talent comes through… i don't know the other artists too well …one is a studio creation

Re: SUNDOWN @ 40 - June 29-Harbourfront-Toronto
 

Is There Anyone Home...yeah, i do think it's on our list of Gord songs never played live…

Re: SUNDOWN @ 40 - June 29-Harbourfront-Toronto
 

Lady host was with Harbourfront/Westjet stage people...
The impetus for the celebration was BILLBOARD having album and single as #1 FORTY years ago. Not too many occurrences of that with any other artist/album/single apparently. And it meshed with Harbourfront's 40th as well so all is good.

Re: SUNDOWN @ 40 - June 29-Harbourfront-Toronto
 

thanks!

i will have to check out history of harbourfront… you mean that's back when they brought in all the dirt and fill for Ont Place?

I think of that Sugar Beach etc as all new.. I don't hardy recognize anything down there..Redpath yes… i think they demo-ed an old plant a few years back… i only ever really went there for Captn John's and the Centre Island ferries … dead fish and seagulls bombing is what I recall… and homeless squeegee folks with cardboard tents under the Gardiner… actually i don't think many of the squugie gang were homeless…just looking for Molson's and weed money

that's a good trivia question…what other albums were at #1 with a single same…actually, seems like Beatles and MJ would have tons…Maria too? …i would have thought that the song SUNDOWN /would have been the finale …good chorus for it… she they salute the Summer Side of Life album then maybe they will sing Sundown finale, lol

Re: SUNDOWN @ 40 - June 29-Harbourfront-Toronto
 

Sugar beach is newer than the one west of there near Spadina with yellow umbrellas. That was being constructed in 2006/2007-watched it from 54th floor of condo..Harbourfront is great- Spadina over to York - deadly road construction underway tho...parts that are done are really nice. You gotta get out more.lol (ontario place opened in 1971 after several years of construction)

Re: SUNDOWN @ 40 - June 29-Harbourfront-Toronto
 

i could find a reference to it begin 42 years old but it's all vague and not NB … i'm sure there was funding to celebrate anyhow … it's amazing how far up Lake Ontario used to come if you look at old maps

http://www.torontoneighbourhoods.net...rfront/history

i do get out but usually go west, young man…i mean, old woman, lol

i usually go south west or north east actually… how to get east without dealing with Mississauga?!? i'm glad you and TG got there.. it would also have been quite accessible from the north GO line ..i don't know if we have any members from York Region or any from Toronto at all? happy birthday Harbourfront! :)

Video moved, see below ...

Re: SUNDOWN @ 40 - June 29-Harbourfront-Toronto
 

awesome video! much better than mine..lol! thanks for posting...hurry with part 2!

Re: SUNDOWN @ 40 - June 29-Harbourfront-Toronto
 

Was using a high def videocam rather than one of those cellphone thingys LOL Hope to get Part Two up tonight.

Re: SUNDOWN @ 40 - June 29-Harbourfront-Toronto
 

mine is a step up from a cellphone - Canon Power Shot camera! lol

Re: SUNDOWN @ 40 - June 29-Harbourfront-Toronto
 

lovely stuff TG!

it's odd hearing the Watchman moved up down to G# ….and the guy with the hat playing a simple G for Sundown instead of the ringing Gord Chord voicing

the sound is full of distortion here, then distant later on ..nice clear video though




Sundown was number one on Billboard … never made it in UK, but top 10 :)

Re: SUNDOWN @ 40 - June 29-Harbourfront-Toronto
 

Here are Parts One and Two together ...

RESTLESS

SUMMER SIDE OF LIFE:

Re: SUNDOWN @ 40 - June 29-Harbourfront-Toronto
 

nice work once again TG… nice pan!

I don't listen to that Tribute album much and it's been years, so I forgot BATRK did the SSOL tune on there, so now it makes sense why they might have chose it as a finale instead of something off the celebrated album, Sundown

Gord recorded in in C form with capo 2 … these guys are in D form

even doing it in C form with capo 1 might have helped Gord hit the notes, lol

I can't recall last time Gord performed it, anyone?

thanks again SO much, char and TG for a great job of bringing it to us… people take it for granted

Re: SUNDOWN @ 40 - June 29-Harbourfront-Toronto
