Having way too much time on my hands I went to E-Bay and typed Gordon Lightfoot. Tons of litings for beat up old crud & LPs. ( Plus one odd 1970s concert poster listing with Gord & George Carlin at the same event!) But then I saw IT. A very rare promo copy of a 1979 PBS Lightfoot concert in Chicago on DVD. Yes DVD!!! Well you know what happened . . . clicked, purchased, shipped & now viewed over & over.
Great concert from back when Gordon could still sing and had flesh on his bones. The DVD cover is the same photo as Dream Street Rose. Featured songs: Cotton Jenny----Edmund Fitzgerald----Endless Wire----Summertime Dream----Don Quixote----If You Could Read My Mind----Ghosts of Cape Horn----Beautiful----Hangdog Hotel Room----Sundown----Early Morning Rain----Whisper My Name----On the High Seas----Old Dan's Records----Canadian Railroad Trilogy.
This has made 2004 for me.
