"As far as the part about resorting to a stool goes, the reviewer is actually correct. It’s been many years, but for a long time Lightfoot would come out after the intermission, all by himself on a stool and do three or four tunes, just him and the guitar (no band). It was a long time ago, but I know he did it at Massey Hall more than once."

I remember the stool. He did IYCRMM from a stool (with the band) first time I saw him (Chautauqua, 1993) and I know he did A Painter Passing Through from the stool when I saw him mid-90s (95 maybe?), a few years before that album was released - and I think he did that one without the band.
