in all the years Lightfoot has put out records, have their ever been any songs that at the beginning that have the sounds of the guy or guys behind the controll panels saying 321 take 1 or whatever? i can give tou a couple examples of songs where i've heard that. Grand Funks RRD's closer to home has the band getting ready and the gut saying take something. there's a rare Steve Miller song called your cash ain't nothing but trash witch at first he just says the song title, then you hear a take 4 from the guy behind the control panel.
No. For one thing, Gord is too much of a perfectionist to let that happen. He'd demand a retake.
Secondly, at Grant Avenue, the sound guys are in another room, looking at the artist through a large window. They talk to the artist through an intercom. I don't recall the people at Grant saying, "Take one...take two." They just said, "Whenever you're ready."
