Ah yes, this was certainly one of the finest performances from Gordon in the 70s that was captured on tape. I'd like to hear the entire show one day. So far, only an hour or so has been released. My master tape of this was destroyed about five years ago, so I am missing If There's A Reason and The Auctioneer, which I left off of the CD I made because of time. (Hint: If anyone has MP3s...) The band was just incredible that night. The Last Time I Saw Her surpasses the record in my opinion. One thing that made the recording so special was the energy from the audience. They were all charged up about the music.

This was the first live Lightfoot I ever heard. I got this before I got Sunday Concert. I knew it would not be long after I heard this, that I would have to attend my first concert, and I did. It was the Knoxville performance at the TN Theater in 1998. That show certainly met and exceeded my expectations!
