Re: I'll Do Anything

Shadows has always been my favorite album, from my first time hearing it in February 1982. I had seen Gord in concert in Minneapolis in Oct. 1981 and he played many of the new songs on Shadows, but not that one. There are no fillers on that album- just a batch of great songs, including "I'll Do Anything."

I read somewhere that the song was put on the album because of the great guitar work by Terry Clements.

The song was performed in Gord's set lists in 1999 and 2000. I heard it in July 1999, up in the tent in Bayfield, Wisconsin. Terry Clements' solo was marvelous for sure. In concert, Gord had added a new lyric bridge, immediately after Terry's first solo. The new lyrics can be found on the Lightfoot website maintained by Wayne Francis. From what I can remember, the song has not been performed after Gord's 2002 illness. John in Minnesota
