You hit the review of the recent GL concert in Cleveland right on the head! I had the privelege of sitting behind those nuns, and what a night it was! GL was so much in focus, and so on the money, that for several of his songs I actually closed my eyes, and could swear the CD player was on! This was unfortunately only the second time I had the opportunity to hear GL live. But I assure you it won't be the last! I guess we all have our own favorite songs, but without a doubt, my two from that nights performance were "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" and "Beautiful". And I am also a re-confirmed lover of "Canadian Railroad Trilogy". Talk about music that transcends all generations. The crowd included everyone from 8 to 80 - a tribute to a man who captures the hearts and soles of many a generation. And cudos to Terry on lead guitar - you were as good that Sunday night in Cleveland as you were on any album. Gordon, I only hope you're around for another 60 years!
