Ridgefield, Connecticut Nov. 11, 2015
Gordon Lightfoot's voice was extremely good, at least compared to the July appearance in Manhattan. He wished the crowd a good Veteran's Day. He mentioned that he was going to perform "Drink Yer Glasses Empty" as sort of a tribute to Veteran's Day, and mentioned his Canadian backgroiund.
When he sang "Drink Yer Glasses Empty" he mentioned writing it in conjunction with Desert Storm, and I suppose analogizing it to being "back in '39 when (he) was one year old." That of course was a few months after the start of World War II. A nice touch.I suppose one of things I like about Gord is that he seems to be a history buff; just like I am. Anyway, here's Ridgefield setlist for November 11, 2015. 1. Sweet Guinneviere 2. Did She Mention my Name 3. Waiting for you 4. Never Too Close 5. 14 Karat Gold 6. Clouds of Loneliness 7. Painter Passing Through 8. Rainy Day People 9. Shadows 10. Beautiful 11. The Watchman's Gone (from Sundown) 12. Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald 13. Carefree Highway INTERMISSION 14. Drink Yer Glasses Empty 15. Now and Then 16. Ribbon of Darkness 17. Sundown 18. Pony Man 19. I'd Rather Press On 20. Let it Ride 21. If You Could Read My Mind 22. Restless 23. Baby Step Back 24. Early Morning' Rain ENCORE 25. Cold on the Shoulder |

RICK: Now, on November 11, our thoughts are about veterans while we do our concert at the Ridgefield Playhouse here in western Connecticut, where we last appeared in June 2010. This is a beautiful part of the country.

This place does not allow pictures so Ricks stage picture from the side is the only performance picture. Sold out show and it was a good one.
