Default Re: Has anyone heard this live version before?

John,
Yeah, great video clips as pictures for pretty much ANY Gord audio.
The BBC concert predates "Endless Wire" songs by over 5 years.
I think that Gords' 1st hit "If You Could Read My Mind", had been released
and he was FINALLY getting the Public exposure outside of Canada that he'd deserved.
It had been almost 10 years of records and singles before he switched from
UA to Warner Bros. in the U.S. and finally got decent radio play. Prior to that,
(1969), Gordon made the U.S. Top 100 Billboards Charts with "Black Day In July",
but it barely made the charts, was a very "politically incorrect" song, being that the Detroit riots we're just a little fuel added to a big fire.
Beautiful song: "If Children Had Wings"; Bittersweet. Almost like "Too Late for Prayin'.
On a totally other note, if you enjoy Old Jazz Standard, please check out
our brand new cover of a Great Valentine's Day song

It's my favorite tune on the album. I Play the Bass and very lite Jazz Guitar.
Kevin Wilder on Piano [he's spectacular] and my wife, Minday is the singer.
I love folk music but I'm soooo happy to be introduced to this music!
