Interesting set list there
that scan from Frank also reveals that Gord was accompanied by a bass player (Rick) and an oddly surnamed Guitar player presumably picked up somewhere in Ireland!
I am wondering if anybody here knows the dates of all six of the RAH concerts.
I had returned to the UK from Montreal in late 1969 as an avid Lightfoot fan but in those primitive pre internet days it was difficult finding out about upcoming concerts. I looked every Saturday in the Daily Telegraph and was able to catch the 10 June 1972 one see the setlist on
http://www.lightfoot.ca/720610.htm
and 18 May 1981 concerts but I missed knowing about that 1971 first RAH appearance and another in May 1974 that Bruna (Silverheels) went to
and I read somwhere recently a claim that Gord was at the RAH every year from 1971 to 1975 which if that is correct with the 1981 concert does indeed make six
