Also that above set isn't completely accurate as Lightfoot did close the show on May 8, 1998 with "Old Dan's Records" not "Restless." And he did do "Uncle Toad Said" not "Cherokee Bend."
Welcome Timmy
In due course you will no doubt discover the many wonderful Lightfoot resources available to us "Net People" which includes
the other main "information' site run by pioneer Newsgroup** man Wayne Francis up there in PEI at:-
http://www/lightfoot.ca
Wayne has an extensive listing of tour dates many with setlists including the one for your May 8th concert at:-
http://www.lightfoot.ca/980508.htm
I suspect that (Mende) Joveski who you might not yet know is one of three Melbourne residents who post from down under either
here or on the Newsgroup**.
Mende unless I am very mistaken most likely copied that set list from Wayne's site and I note that Wayne's listing includes
neither of the two encores you mentioned (although generaly speaking Wayne gets his facts right!!!) (and generally Gord always
does at least one encore... at one time he always prefaced it/them by saying "thank you we were coming back anyway" which always
cracked me up)

The Newsgroup alt.music.lightfoot is now viewable via the latest (beta) version of Google groups at (my notlong link):-
http://newsgroup2.notlong.com
this is a link to the beta version as recently discovered by Cathy and I am pleased to say after posting a reply now says that your posting should be available "momentarily" and a test one showed up in a few minutes rather than the "3 to 9 hours" Google quotes for their original version for which my shorter URL link is:-
http://newsgroup.shorturl.com
Of course you can also if you take the trouble to set up Outlook Express use that for immediate viewing of your postings,or if you are with AOL use whatever access method they offer.
Finally Tim pity you had not been visiting here last week and seen about the most successful pre-concert gathering at Walts on Sunday. Never mind see you no doubt at Massey next year. Watch this space!!
