OK I have now scanned the 12 pages of my old 1972 program and will attach them below.
several are as said repeats of the older 1969 program at:-
http://www.johnfowles.org.uk/LIGHTFO..._June_1972.htm
thr original scans were very large (1800+ pivels wide) therefore the file sizes were around 700+KB so to save problems for those still nursing dial up connections i resized them all to a uniform 640 pixels wide.I checked that those pages with text on them were readable
You should be able to see that I had a hugely expensive seat in row C the price of £1.25 (nowadays a bit less than $2.00) seems ludicrously cheap especially compared to Red Banks Basie Theater's excessive price of $120.00 for rows A to M last week!!
Note also that both Red and Terry are listed as "guitar"
In fact I think that Gord introduced them as lead and second guitar
(i suspect that Bru was somewhere in front of me but of course I did not know her then) In fact like so many others I fondly thought that I was the only serious Lightfoot fan in the UK but The Royal Albert Hall as i recall was pretty well full to its 6000 or so capacity
i have just compared the song menu on page 8 with the actual setlist at:-
http://www.johnfowles.org.uk/LIGHTFO..._June_1972.htm
Gord sang 11 of the 21 listed plus another 11 including the ultra rare unreleased toe tapper
"Rock My World to Sleep"
This was also before perfectionist Gord stopped performing Miguel when he realised there is no St Augustine's Cathedral in Mexico, but the other night he added that the chords in that song are too rough on his fingertips so it is highly unlikely that this great song will ever get back into rotation
