Although I personally did not start attending concerts until 1977 and my memory isn't what it used to be...I could swear I heard some of the songs you have listed, James, in concert. So on this sleepless morning, I did some research. According to the limited set lists on Wayne's site, "Second Cup of Coffee" and "A Tree to Weak to Stand" were performed in 1974/75. "Bend in the Water" was performed in '75 and '79. "Thank You for the Promises" in 1982. "Ecstasy Made Easy" in '85. "Welcome To Try" and "Drink Your Glasses Empty" started showing up in '93. There could be more...but I stopped at 1996.
Course all these dates are approximate as very few of the set lists are posted in the 70's. So some of these (and others) could have shown up earlier.
What I did find fascinating is how many of the unpublished songs from Songbook (Betty Called Me In, Stone Cold Sober, etc) he did perform in the '70's.
Anyway, I recommend to anyone that hasn't been or hasn't been lately to visit Wayne's site,
www.lightfoot.ca. The Tour Dates is a great trip down memory lane or an education on what our Gord has given us through the years.
And to the person (sorry, again, memory fails me and a quick site search resulted in zilch) that asked if "Only Love Would Know" was ever done in concert...it started showing up in the set lists in 1991 and I know I heard that in concert.
