Re: Any ideas about these clips
i would have liked to hear the acoustic version he did of Morning Glory (also performed on the Mar 8 1987 radio show)
Gord's voice didn't carry well over his own guitar, Rick's bass and Terry's lead (the last time I saw him play live) during the acoustic version of Shadows at the Songwriters HOF Gala a few years ago...the cbc Canada Live audio link that char had posted is now a dead end ...Gord's voice is stronger these days ...there are a few songs I like with Barry's percussion and/or Mike's strings, otherwise I'm an all trio fan..or even a Lightfoot/Lancaster duo
I don't know where the link to Gord's wonderful I'll Tag Along has gone, regarding the Apr 2012 Q radio performance...there are many acoustic ITA renditions from recent decades
Many have the video (havent seen it online) from Global TV (low quality VHS) of Gord playing acoustic East Of Midnight...it gave me a new appreciation of the song...I might even like an acoustic version of Anything for Love
i'd give anything for acoustic versions ...
today, CBC has most of the broadcasts archived...unlikely that the I+S Reunion raw tapes with Lesson in Love and EOM still exist...Wayne says he did see a snippet of LIL at some point....
Many appreciate that Gord's live shows reproduce his studio recording arrangements (and 'sound') from the Shadows era forward, but I always look forward to an alternative live arrangement ...i don't like the electric piano added to old era songs but I'm certain Mike's just following Gord's instruction... Carter is using some new guitar sounds... I like
