Gord was noticeably less chatty than during the previous evening's concert in New York, where he had frequently reminisced about the venues he had performed there (Town Hall (the first time as the opening act for the Paul Butterfield Blues Band , The Bitter End, Carnegie Hall, The Lincoln Centre, Fillmore East and the giddying rotating stage at Westbury)
and several references to Albert Grossman and John Court.
When he mentioned playing Fillmore East it reminded me that I had recently been listening the great soundboard recording from Bill (Wolfgang) Graham's Fillmore West in San Francisco as streamed by the Wolfgang's Vaults website and realising that that was on Saturday October 5 1968 and that I saw him in Montreal at Place Des Arts (my third of to date 94 Lightfoot concerts) two days later on October 7th.
I had to double check those dates since the Fillmore West concert was on as the Americans format the date 10/5/68 (to my British mind that should be 5/10/68 which to an American is May 10) most confusing for me because on the "real" May 10 1968 I had seen Gord for the second time also in Place Des Arts.
