hi (Jesse & Char, first and foremost
)
thinking out loud here...I made a suggestion that we might have a section for youtube and other multimedia links related to Gord, but don't expect this would be that easy a set up, I wouldn't know, I don't know HTML or Flash or whatever
but, wonder if you could provide a consolidated reference to any video links relating to the below 'checklist' per
www.Lightfoot.ca?
many fans have been collecting reel to reel, VHS, DVD, archives, etc for years and now that the internet offerings are extensive (although not necessarily high quality, for nothing can match watching uncompressed, full screen TV and stereo audio performances) I thought we could see where we stand from a got em/need em standpoint
it would be great for Gord fans who have just stumbled on the internet or corfid also because it's pretty easy to miss a video post or to attempt to search for specifics - this would also eliminate a lot of repeat posts too - oh, Radio audio could also be included
while I've got the suggestion box open, how about the same for "Lightfoot covers"?
the most interesting posts to me anyhow, are the Concert reviews given by fans here and I think it's ashamed that many of them get knocked to the bottom of the thread list so quickly when a slew of media posts (all appreciated fo course
) appear, and for folks who just stumble by once a week, well it makes it cumbersome to scroll through looking for these discussions - I guess the alternative is to have someone keep bringing the back to the top
I had never seen the Cash 'Softly' performance (any sign of the Steel Rail Blues/Train Song Medley segment? I love that) as well as the Wayne and Shuster appearance if not for your posts, so am glad I didn't miss your links to them, so thanks again Jessie and cheers
jj
ps) ...I gave up long ago on hunting for the Tonight Show and 1973 Soundstage video stuff but perhaps all hope is not lost now that folks are posting everything but the kitchen sink (ok, even that!) online
