previously mentioned in my CHat with The Man and then by John: what songs would you like to hear in the set list?

Give a 'shout out" for it John! |

If he does it, he should do the solo version, like that video from an empty Massey Hall. Just Gord and his guitar.

wouldnt' that be fabulous Cathy? he said he loves to play it on his own at home and might consider it so hopefully he does! with the 'A' string in tune!

I am most naturally overjoyed to see that the Queen of the Lightheads has read and fully understood my message and
furthermore taken the hint regarding expanding the rotation list As a newly favoured one who now has Gordon's ear (and what else besides that instrument?) CHar now has the wherewithal to influence the great man a trifle, so let's all submit our suggestions. Maybe if not too lengthy a list transpires CHar could collate and print out a list of the most popular submissions to forward to Gord in due course. To kick this list off I am going to suggest a pair 1 Farewell Nova Scotia I was informed back in 2000 that the orchestra had been practising this and it would be a tremendous gesture if this could be played during the upcoming Atlantic Provinces minitour 2 Inspiration Lady as rendered at my request at the Orleans Casino Las Vegas on April 29 2005 this came over IMHO extremely well I believe this was only the second time Gord had performed this live (previously it featured in the short setlist of the Peterborough, ON Memorial Centre (Flood Benefit) - August 6, 2004) see:- http://www.lightfoot.ca/040806.htm OK let 'em roll!!! |

Well John when you see him in a few weeks start off with one we know he has said he enjoys and does play often, albeit in the privacy of his own home, and give a boost for "I'll Tag Along"..
and CHar would tag along if the damned lottery came thru in time! lol |

I have only seen Gordon once, I so wanted to hear "The Circle is Small". I do not know if he plays it from time but I would probably cry harder if he played it. He could just talk it that would be great too. Get back to me if he does include it or not and why.

I'll Tag Along - Char
Farewell Nova Scotia - John Inspiration Lady - John Circle is Small - Fitzy Now and Then - Brink |
He just may throw "Farewell to Nova Scotia" into the mix when he's there...could be a sentimental decision.
I'd love to be in the audience that night if he did.. LOVED Ron doing it for me in November.. |

I'd like to hear The Soul is the Rock... it's a great rocking song along with Bend in the Water.. plus I'd like to hear more of the ones he did way back when... especially Partners... another one of those songs that should have been officially recorded.
|
Definitely Nova Scotia Farewell. Mother Of A Miner's Child would be nice, too.
|
And Too Much To Lose.
|

Mother of a Miner's Child - Cathy Too Much To Lose - Cathy Lazy Morning - Brink (again) |
Can I add 3 at once Charlene? :) Pleeeeease? :D
I defintely want him to add "The Pony Man","My Love For You" and "End Of All Time",next time he's here. :) I know he'd have to set a couple aside to do this. So,maybe set aside "Old Dan's Records" and "Cold On The Shoulder"? |
Well I've heard him do Bitter Green (for the nurse) so the one I'd really hyperventilate over when I heard the first few notes would be:
Go Go Round (a period piece to be sure but so cool if you lived through those days) Bill :) |
I'd like to hear "Stay Loose". I find it very positive and motivating, and would love to hear it the way he wrote it, just him and the guitar.
|
Any rerotated surprise would be fine with me, but I agree with Brink...Now and Then would be the best. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the Keswick on 4/27.

you're right B - for each sub there's a deletion...
So when inserting a song into the setlist don't forget to delete one.. |

One that I have never heard him play is Nous Vivous Ensemble - anyone else love this short little song about mankind? Must never have been very popular - at a concert years ago when people were shouting requests, I asked for Nous. He heard me and said "you know that one?".
