MrGoldMind123 is my Youtube account name. I uploaded those songs with still photos of Lightfoot (not videos) because it seemed tasteful and easier than creating fancy slideshows like many people do on Youtube. For some of them I used the appropriate album covers found on Google, and for the bootleg rarities I just used images of Lightfoot performing found on Google because I didn't know if the bootlegs had album covers or not, or if they had ever been officially released. My copies of the bootlegs were downloaded from a website called sugarmegs http://tela.sugarmegs.org/alpha/g.html
If you scroll down alphabetically to the Gordon Lightfoot section there's a bunch of great live recordings from different eras, though I'm sure most of the senior members of this forum are familiar with them already. As for the date of the New York Folk Fest in 1987 I got that from the official Lightfoot website where it says the date was March 8, 1987.

I don't know who recorded the original bootleg or started circulating it but it definitely wasn't me because I was only 7 years old at the time...
