I was very pleased to refind this old thread
as this subject is one close to my heart
It was extremely pleasing to find that this year Gord has rerotated "If Children Had Wings
I see that my number one choice
"Now And Then" has already been suggested
as has another old favourite "Miguel"
thankfully the former does appear as a live bootleg recording from Red Rocks Denver back in 1975

A super photograph of Redrocks Amphitheatre proving yet again how colourful is Colourado
and the latter I have as obtained from a 1972 UK BBC television broadcast.That leaves of songs known to have been in his repertoire that I would love to hear live his masterly version of "Farewell To Nova Scotia" which fortunately preceded the BBC Miguel and was decidedly more lively than the live recording from La Cave,Cleveland in 1965
