Having gotten my start back in the Gord, Red and John days I tend to favour the United Artists 3 disc set most of all.
The sound on those recordings is so crystal clear.

I'd have to say that it was the live 1968 CBC studio "Wherefore and Why" show featuring that magnificent trio where I had a front row seat that sealed me in mesmerizing mode when it comes to the music of Gordon Lightfoot and I'm still there!
The show is available for viewing on You Tube
If you look carefully at the expressions on the faces, and even the posture of some audience members in that video it's quite evident that the ambience, spell or whatever was created during that performance clearly had a most profound effect on those folks.
It was an experience like non other.
