A good question "Sir Jerry"
Just in case nobody else answers his question
there is the following detail on Wayne Francis's excellent site http://www.lightfoot.ca
on his "Gordon Lightfoot movie roles" page
"RENALDO AND CLARA
Lightfoot performed on Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Review when they played Maple Leaf Gardens in 1975.
Dylan filmed the entire tour, along with dramatic scenes away from the shows.
Lightfoot hosted a party, at which time he performed Dylan's Ballad In Plain D
in an upstairs room and it made it into the film" So it would appear Gord only sang the one song
and somebody has made a very very short (precisely 1 minute 37 seconds) long Real Media audio file presumably from that film's soundtrack (the ra file is only 191KB and even after conversion to a 56kbps mp3 it is still only 669KB) and it can be downloaded from http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Coffee...realaudio.html
just scroll down until you find it or use your browser's "find on this page" menu item to find "lightfoot"
