Gord's voice was in fine form tonight, although he sometimes forgot a word or two. He later talked about adding in the different songs to the rotation and having to re-learn them.
Of course the fans are always forgiving - we're just so lucky to have Gordon still having the desire to tour.

My wife and I have met Gord and the band maybe 14 times now, but it never gets old. We took my uncle who lives in Peoria with us this time (his first Lightfoot concert ever!) He said it was so nice to be able to hear all the instruments and to hear every word that Gordon was singing - I couldn't agree more.

We got to meet all the guys after the show. Gordon slipped out before we could get to him, so Barry Keane told us where to wait outside. Gordon came out about 10 minutes later and we finished our 'afterglow' moments. Got my new 'live' c.d. and 'Don Quixote' c.d. signed, plus autographs for my uncle (wish we could have met Gordon ofter our first concert back in 1991!! - oh well, it was our pleasure).

Hope we have many more GL concerts down the road - of course he will be 74 in November, so we treasure every chance we get!!!!!

So glad to meet fellow Corfidians Kevin and Erin Hester - he gave me a copy of his poem he wrote for Gordon that sits on Gordon's office desk - what an honor.
