Not an obscure song but one that he hasn't done in concert that often in recent years...Minstrel of the Dawn. One of my all-time favorites. Another choice would be Miguel.

"Steel Rail Blues" I really like that old tune. Not sure if Gord sings it much but it would sound interesting in his mature vouce.

Stationmaster,"I Can't Make it Anymore" is a song he wrote in the 60's but has not recorded himself (I'm guessing). As has been mentioned often here,Richie Havens recorded it on one of his albums in the early 70s.
Spyder Turner had a low charting single with it in 1967 or '68. Somewhere between #80 & #100. John F. sent me an Mpg of it online and it's a pretty good song. Since my PC went on the fritz,I don't "have it anymore".

Re: if you could make Gord introduce one "obscure" song into his concert rotation?
I was very pleased to refind this old thread
as this subject is one close to my heart It was extremely pleasing to find that this year Gord has rerotated "If Children Had Wings I see that my number one choice "Now And Then" has already been suggested as has another old favourite "Miguel" thankfully the former does appear as a live bootleg recording from Red Rocks Denver back in 1975 http://www.johnfowles.org.uk/lightfo...phitheatre.jpg A super photograph of Redrocks Amphitheatre proving yet again how colourful is Colourado and the latter I have as obtained from a 1972 UK BBC television broadcast.That leaves of songs known to have been in his repertoire that I would love to hear live his masterly version of "Farewell To Nova Scotia" which fortunately preceded the BBC Miguel and was decidedly more lively than the live recording from La Cave,Cleveland in 1965 |
Re: if you could make Gord introduce one "obscure" song into his concert rotation?
I would love to hear - Home From the Forest.
Yep John, that is Red Rocks beautiful isn't it? I will be going there in June for John Prine and EmmyLou Harris. Sorry not Hiatt, Prine. and Prine is the headliner. |
Re: if you could make Gord introduce one "obscure" song into his concert rotation?
Who's headlining ? Hiatt or Harris ?
I'd like to hear "It's Worth Believin'". I think that would still fit into his current vocal range. |
Re: if you could make Gord introduce one "obscure" song into his concert rotation?
My vote goes to "Go My Way" and "Same Old Loverman"
|
Re: if you could make Gord introduce one "obscure" song into his concert rotation?
Saturday Clothes (goes without saying...but it would agree with his age)
Now & Then Too Much to Lose |
Re: if you could make Gord introduce one "obscure" song into his concert rotation?
I suppose I'd go for "Rainbow Trout", "Seven Island Suite", "Somewhere USA" or Tatoo.
|
Re: if you could make Gord introduce one "obscure" song into his concert rotation?
Lucky gal brink, it must be a great evening at that beautiful location. John Hiatt is another fav of mine...
"Seven Island Suite" has long been my favorite Gordon Lightfoot song. That's the one I would have loved to hear in concert in the 70's... I think these days it's not likely ? But one never really knows for sure. :rolleyes: |
Re: if you could make Gord introduce one "obscure" song into his concert rotation?
i'd love to hear the Auctioneer again these days
|
Re: if you could make Gord introduce one "obscure" song into his concert rotation?
I vote for:
I'm Not Supposed to Care I'll Be Alright Leaves of Grass Affair on 8th Avenue Looking at the Rain Can't Depend on Love Last Time I Saw Her :) |
Re: if you could make Gord introduce one "obscure" song into his concert rotation?
Seven Island Suite: Talk about a genius in song writing. The work involved in the craftmanship is steller.
Harbor le`Cou : I always love his sea related songs and this im sure has never been done in concert. |
