Your honest appraisal is appreciated. As far as lowering the keys that he sings in, well, I don't know. Not being a bass player, lead guitarist, or keyboard pro, I really have no idea of what the ramifications might be. I seem to recall an article some time ago when he advised against using a capo, citing the effect it had on a band. But they're pros, so who knows.

It's not hard to do. Just bring the keys down a bit. Drop the capo and perform the songs with the same chord progressions. It would vastly improve the show. Like you said, these guys are pros and for them to play the exact same thing a full step lower should be no problem at all. Afterall, it's not like the other guys are screaming out harmonies. Lightfoot's shows are so cozy but to look beyond his strained voice is hard to do.
