Pictures of GL concerts - over 40 years

This one here Next Saturday is a great photo of Gord, and it looks like Barry Harvey standing behind to Lightfoot's right. It's a shame he's not facing the camera. {Bless his heart.}

Great find Next Saturday !

Lightfoot / November/ 2006

[charlene]

yep that was him. I had just talked with him earlier as he was unloading the van with the gear for Gordon, RIck and Terry and then I had gone to take my seat while waiting for the music to begin..-
I posted a pic of him onstage that day at:

The next time I saw and spoke with him was at Mariposa in Orillia in July while he paced around waiting for Gordon to arrive..

Thanks,

Some great pics here. I think I'll try to play around in Photoshop with some of them.

Here's one from Hamilton Place, Hamilton Ontario in 2004 which I believe was one of the first concerts given by Gord after his hospital stay. Some of those in attendance were the health care professionals from McMaster Medical Center that were responsible for his recovery.

Thats one concert I would have loved to be sitting front row centre. I know it would have probably not been possible to have such seats. But boy that show would have been to me unforgetably historic... from the 'Master Poet Genius.'

[Yuri]

Jesse Joe.
That was a great concert just for the fact that Gord was still with us and back to performing, Gord did struggle a bit at the start of the performance and the sound mix had to be tweaked a bit but by the end, it was our same ol' Gord.

Before the performance a good number of us Corfidians got together at a nearby pub to chat and have a bite. It was great seeing all those new faces and putting names to them.

Unfortunately I had a party of rude and boisterous young punks in front of me that I thought would have been more at home at a Marilyn Manson concert that a Lightfoot show. They were soon evicted restoring peace.

Yes, I believe the front rows were reserved for McMaster's health care professionals as a show of appreciation.

Yes indeed Yuri, I heard about that wonderful comeback concert. I know John Fowles was there, and Char also. You guys saw a moment in history. Thanks for the info.

[T.G.]

Thanks for posting all these great pics ... almost all haven't been seen before.

[Borderstone]

Pardon my delay in posting for this topic,I haven't had the computer time like in the past. In fact I'm hardly at the library anymore.

Anyways,these are fan-dang-tastic! Wish I had in house concert pics like this to post! Incredible!!

[JohnStinson]

Very impressive bunch of pictures.

Yuri,.. Can you post the original hi-resolution images that you probably have. ???

Thanks (hoping)

John

John,
I'd be happy to share whatever photos I have however I have a slight problem I first have to overcome. Back in the spring of 06 I acquired an infection that put me into a wheelchair. After a year of physiotherapy, I'm just starting to walk again with braces. For that reason I find myself confined to the first floor of my house and have been "existing" in my living room for the last year. Somewhere upstairs, well hidden in the bowels of my office, I have photos of Gord over the years not yet digitized. Of the photos posted that are mine, I only have in the compressed JPEG format. When I do find my photos I'd be happy to share higher resolution photos BMP's(?) perhaps? Because of their uncompressed file size, they would eat up a fair bit of bandwidth. e-mailed BMP photos may not be practical A snail-mailed disc might be the way to go. Unfortunately that prospect is still somewhat off in the future. Until I can drop these wheels strapped to my backside, 'life' is on hold.

Yuri

[Jesse Joe]

Best of luck to you Yuri with your health. There wouldn't be a greater Christmas gift for you Im sure as you say to, "drop these wheels strapped to my backside."

All the best, from ~Jesse Joe~

including these two



And there is the one I took at Massey on 11 November 1999 Remembrance/Veteran's day .. note Gord's Poppy

[BILLW]

Don't forget old BillW Jesse Joe, LOL. I sat at that pub table too - what a joint for a teetotaler. I had nice people around me both nights...the second night I sat with two beautiful young ladies who I swear were distracting the band.
Anyway it is one of my fondest musical memories. And I think I found the picture - now I need to add names, LOL (I took the picture so you won't see me)





That's the second night show there. Had pretty cool seats that night.

ok, my mind isn't what it once was but I can't distinctly recall meeting you before, during or after... you're elusive, lol, I've been by your home about 10 years ago for a video drop off but even then never met...anyhow, a memorable event, loved River of Light and his first few numbers, Spanish Moss foremost, most of all 'cos it was mainly just Gord and guitar with very subtle orchestral (ie. band) colourings

all the best health in '08, great progress!
