Re: Additional 2008 dates
Wow!! :eek: 14 dates already! :)
To semi-quote the Dave Loggins song: "Please come to Phoenix in the springtime"! :biggrin: (Or at least summer.) ;) |
Re: Additional 2008 dates
I don't know when the last time Gord has appeared in St. Louis, MO. It is the 18th largest metropolitian area in the U.S. but he hasn't been in St. Louis in many years. I think, in terms of population, it may be the most overlooked area in Gord's touring. Here's hoping.........

Re: Additional 2008 dates
Hey Tim, maybe try sending a note to his office and suggest it. Who knows? maybe it could happen.

Re: Additional 2008 dates
Oh-h-h-h-h-h!!!!! He's coming to Onamia, MN. That sounds really good!!!:):):)
Thanks for the update!!! (P.S. - I haven't been lurking.....I was hacked, hijacked whatever one would call it. I think that things are almost back to normal, except my "favorite places" does't work. Maybe I have to do them all over again????? At least it's working.:):) |

Thanks Peter. I should do that. I did plant the idea in Barry Harvey's mind when I spoke to him at Aurora last September. I would also guess that there is a concert promotion network where promoters in different cities express interest in certain performers. Maybe through radio stations as well -- I don't know. I know Gord would have to already be in the general region in the U.S. to make it feasible. He was within a few hundered miles last year, so that might have been a better opportunity than this year. On the other hand, he seems to frequent Aurora, Illinois annually, so maybe St. Louis would be within the realm of feasibiltiy in 2008. Does anybody out there have a recommendation to get Gord's Business Office (is it EMP?) to consider a stop at St. Louis? |

approach Mr Harvey by all means Gord's managemrent comnpany is certainly EMP and their address has been posted here umpteen times and also appears somewhere on Waynes site I could not find it but found that on his main "Tour" page he says "If you have serious interest in securing a concert booking for Mr. Lightfoot, please contact his agent - Stephan Boyd at ICON Performing Arts at the link below." [img]http://www.lightfoot.ca/lightfoo.gif[/img] which is a link to http://www.iconperformingarts.com/content/view/33/148/ which is a page devoted to Gord with contact links:- LOS ANGELES 1557 Westwood Boulevard, Suite 242 Los Angeles, CA 90024 Tel (310) 734-6130 Fax (310) 861-8087 NEW YORK 1650 Broadway, Suite 1105 New York, NY 10019 Tel (646) 415-9139 Fax (646) 607-9066 NASHVILLE 5543 Edmondson Pike, Suite 147 Nashville, TN 37211 Tel (615) 469-0997 Fax (615) 332-8371 But quite where Mr Boyd is is by no means clear Hoever there is a staff directory which provides this:- Stephan Boyd stephan@iconperformingarts.com with a"new submissions" link at:- http://www.iconperformingarts.com/content/view/63/168/ also on that site I found a link to the great high resolution picture at:- http://www.iconperformingarts.com/images/stories/highresphotos/gordonlightfootcolor.jpg and a video link that I think opens the linus site's Inspiration Lady video plus a link to more hi res pictures again those seem to be on the Linus site As I said I thought I had seen EMP's address on Waynes site so I googled for "Early Morning Productions lightfoot.ca" nothing turned up, but it was far from a wasted search because one result read as follows In harmony: Gordon Lightfoot looks back Sing Out! The Folk Song ... MANAGEMENT / BOOKING: Early Morning Productions, 1365 Yonge St. Suite #207. Toronto, ON M4T 2P7, Canada: E-mail: rookie@lightfoot.ca. http://findarticles.com/p/articles/m...n16519941/pg_1 through 4 (Pages 5 and 6 have nothing to add) I found a nice 4 page review from 2006 that I had not read before I rather liked this quote "Indeed, Lightfoot fronts the band like a maestro wielding a guitar instead of a wand, and with just as much precision" |
Re: Additional 2008 dates
Long time fan in Atlanta Ga. Have attended both concerts here before.
Does anyone know presale codes for Atlanta concert? lynn.gregory@comcast.net or post here |
Re: Additional 2008 dates
Hope he comes back through Virginia! No Wolftrap show last year. Knoxville and Ashville would normally be OK, but we'll have a one month old baby at the time.

Re: Additional 2008 dates
Hi Bill,
your lucky day....He'll be at Wolf Trap June 14th 2008...:-) |
Re: Additional 2008 dates
Look out Wolf Trap, here we come.:)

Re: Additional 2008 dates
DSR, you're going to Wolf Trap, too?! or are you just being happy for Bill?
|
Re: Additional 2008 dates
Kerstin,
I am going if life doesn't happen instead. I think, life is what happens while you are making your plans. Want to come? I promise you it will be our best yet. DSR |

Re: Additional 2008 dates
Hey, that venue looks great! Sure is tempting.... ;)
|
Re: Additional 2008 dates
Yeah...but I CAN'T possibly come up with a good enough reason why I HAVE to go to that one too - if FL flies, it's only because of you Kerstin - Thanks a bunch!!!
|
Re: Additional 2008 dates
I have been to Wolf Trap and it is a wonderful venue. Great job with the pictures Jesse Joe. Kerstin, should I get you an airline ticket? :)

Re: Additional 2008 dates
Cool! Wolftrap. Let's hope it's cooler than the sweltering August date last time.
|
Re: Additional 2008 dates
Hi Bill,
I was at Wolf Trap in June of 2006 and sweltering is a perfect word for the way we were feeling. Maybe they will have a cooler June next year. :) Here's positive thoughts in that direction. Hope to see you there. DSR |
Re: Additional 2008 dates
Hi Claudia,
you're welcome. You can use me as an excuse anytime. ;) There is no way I'll be able to make it to Wolf Trap either, not if I want to keep my husband anyway. :whistle: |
Re: Additional 2008 dates
Hey Dream Street Rose,
Do you want to be my friend ?...:biggrin: I think your going to break your record of 12 GL concerts in one year. Really happy for you. Bill W told me somewhat about The Wolftrap last summer. It seems like a super venue. Kerstin and the others that know you, are really lucky to have a great person like you for a friend. Have fun & enjoy Lightfoot concerts all you can. :) ~ Jesse Joe ~ "An aging hippie and proud of it"... :redface: :p :) |
Re: Additional 2008 dates
Wolftrap..this summer? Yeah! Bill W did you take notice?
