I was looking back at the list of all the songs and I saw a song that I had never seen before. It was Movin'. I really don't want to have to buy the 'Sunday Concert Plus' album(if you can) just for this one song, but if you tell me it's worth it, I will. I can't believe I saw a Gord song I'd never heard before!

Everybody's movin', movin' across the town,
The Skyline grows and the cut of the clothes,
Is enough to turn you around.
Oh, Oh the future is just an hour away,
And the hearts of youth are aflame,
Everybody's movin', nothin' stays the same!
Fields are turnin', the bridges are burnin',
And the light turns night into day.
It's the time to stake it or make it or break it,
For the time flies quickly away.
Oh, oh it's the time to start makin' your mark,
And it's the time to get in the game!
Everybody's movin', nothin' stays the same!

Upwards, outwards, all around,
They're reachin' for the sky.
The ribbons of highway and roads of steel,
It's a time to be alive!
Oh, oh, ain't no ragin' river that we can't cross,
Nor giant too tall to be slain,
Everybody's movin', nothin' stays the same!

Oh, buy Sunday Concert! It's the only live album that Gord's ever put out, and the additional tracks on Sunday Concert Plus is definitely worth it. Even if the additional tracks weren't there, it would still be worth it.
(It also has Ballad Of Yarmouth Castle)

The CD is one of my favorites!

Yes, buy the album. The second version of Movin' (Track #16) is the better one, and the one that was featured on the Canadian railroad documentary (along with Talkin' Freight and Steel Rail Blues). It's one of my favorite songs.

I also enjoy the other rarities that appear on Sunday Concert Plus - In a Windowpane, Ballad of Yarmouth Castle and Spin Spin. Gord also covers Dylan's "Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues" (which is a neat song but not in Gord's usual style) and there is an alternate version of I'll Be Alright.

I listen to that album VERY frequently!
