Just re-read "Same Old Loverman"'s first post again -- he mentioned surprise that Gord didn't do "Carefree Highway" at the '74 concert. But he DID do it the night I saw him (which was two nights before the recording). And I recollected in my diary (sorry -- I'm sure everyone is getting really tired of the diary details!) that he also did the song in '73 at Massey, but he had just written it and didn't know it by heart yet. So he placed a music stand in front of him with the words and/or music on it! When he played it in '74, he joked that he could now do it without the music stand.
