Hi Diane, and thanks for posting this. Skip and I just got home, so
I'll try to post some thoughts tomorrow. Skip is still talking about
how much he enjoyed himself and how good the shows and the company
were.


The Concord show was wonderful, and Diane was right about Make Way for
the Lady. It was exquisite! The sound was perfect, the band was
absolutly perfect (they even got a "wow" out of Skip!), and even the
lighting was great during that. To me it was the gem of the evening.


The Burlington VT show was quite similar, in that Gord sounded and
looked great. I think the one thing I will remember most though was the
end. It was a first at a Lightfoot concert! Gord came out to take his last bows, and a fight broke out! There was a guy that kept
shouting "High and Dry" all evening, and was getting louder and more
obnoxious each time. At the very end, the guy that had been sitting in
front of him had finally had it, and decked him! We were all standing
up giving a standing ovation, and the guy just turned around and either
pushed or punched Mr. High and Dry in the face! Broke his glasses and
sent him flying. Audience members pulled them apart, and Gord didn't
see it. Wow, now there's the last concert I would ever expect a fight
to break out in!
Anyway, besides that it was a great show and left me longing for
November and Massey Hall. I'm sure Susan and John will give a report
soon too.
