I just watched Peter's interview with Gord from 1998. I can tell the year of Gord's career due to the fact that he's clean shaven, no moustache and the similarity to the "Painter Passing Through" album cover. Gord is as uncomfortable as I've ever seen him in an interview. However, something's different. The set is absolutely Canadian. Gord tries his best to be ok with being interviewed, but you can tell he hates it. Peter does a great job of directing his questions to where Gord will be the least pressed to give an answer, and at times the two connect. But Gord's uncomfortableness is very visible. Then to realize that Peter died about 5 years after this interview, makes me feel sad. Still a great interview that will be essential to Lightfoot devotees after Gord leaves this world.
