Well, count me as another one who had trouble with the uTorrent link and the PAL vs. NTSC techno issues, so I just went to the YouTube version and watched both parts earlier. It's late now, but what a wonderful concert video and at least I can say I saw it if it goes away. How great seeing Gord in his prime, so robust and that smooth baritone voice. I only had the pleasure of seeing Red Shea once in person at my first Lightfoot concert in 1971 when Terry Clements was just being introduced into the band. There was such purity and simplicity back then with just 2 guitars and a bass. You really hear the richness of Lightfoot's 12-string and Red's superb lead guitar accompaniment. Hadn't heard Gordon play Farewell to Nova Scotia in decades and what a wonderful rendition! Hopefully, this concert will be somehow available on DVD in the future for us folks here in the States.
