The brief answer Annie is a resounding "No"
So far there has been a dirth of detailed comment on the Montalvo concert eiher here or on the Newsgroup but fortunately Jim Harrington of Bay Area Living was on the ball so there is a most excellent and sympathetic (note Sydney Steve the"sym " in front of your adjective!) review at:-

sample
"Talking backstage with Barry Harvey, Lightfoot's manager of 17 years, he estimated that the singer is 98 percent back to his pre-surgery form. Yet, it was hard to figure out what 2 percent is still missing as Lightfoot definitely sounded as strong live as he did back in the mid-'90s, following the release of his excellent "Waiting for You."
And the conclusion
"There was much to
applaud about at this show. First and foremost is the not-so simple fact that Lightfoot was back on the stage"
John Fowles
And to conclude from a nice archived 2002 article in the unlikely
which reproduced the lyrics of EMR at:_

{see EMR mentions a (Boeing) 707}
"We can hope for one more song or
applaud his unforgettable musical canvas of thirty-plus years.
This guy stuck a needle into a vein, and sat down and gave the world everything of his life, and love, and yearning, including a view through the bottom of a shot glass."
IMHO that says it all done it
