Great posts.

In the 12/83 'King's City' column, Lightfoot is quoted : "This is my hometown. But I haven't always been at my best".

Does anyone have a recollection of a performance at Massey Hall that you consider sub-par ?

The critics have not always been kind to Gord here in Toronto..I have lots of reviews that I will get scanned asap as I go along and sort thru all of the stuff I have..

I have this one from probably 1977.

Thanks for those great pictures CHar, including this one which is my favo(u)rite... Lightfoot in the 70's right ? Man did he look good, with that beard. Jim Cuddy of Blue Rodeo said in a TV interview something like, -> many young guys wishing we could look & sound like him. The curly hair and all...

I've got that pic marked as taken in 1981..

These are the only stubs I could find. The earliest is from the Music Hall in Houston, circa 1972. If I remember right, I paid $3.50 for it because $4.50 for a front row seat seemed excessive at the time.

I know I have some other ticket stubs around here somewhere, but I must have put them in such a secure location that I can no longer find them myself. So what chance will the ticket stub thiefs have?

I could not find the ticket stub for this concert, but these are pictures from the 1978 concert at Jones Hall in Houston. Liona Boyd was opening for Gordon, at least on the Texas part of the tour. My seat was in the front row of the hall, but very close to the right-hand end.

He quit the booze the following year, labor day. I guess he also decided to shave his beard...

When Gord introduced the band back then they would all walk around shaking hands with each other..

This thread hasn't had much interest for a while, but I finally located my ticket stub from Ft. Worth this past June. I had it neatly stored away in a Dave Mallett LP sleeve. "Inches and Miles", I believe.

The Ft. Worth ticket stub doesn't show a price, but it cost me $55.00. Note that they stamped 'Limited View' on the ticket, and I had to initial that before they actually would take my money. (I might have had a limited view if the opera box I was seated in had been full. But only 3 of the 8 seats were in use, so I got to move to a seat with a totally unhindered view.) The ticket included parking right next to Bass Hall in the Sundance Square area. Which is a very happening place when you hail from Tyler.

I met Terry and Mike on the street after the show. They came out of a service entrance in the back of the concert hall, and asked me if I knew where the Renaissance (?) Hotel was. I didn't -- but Mike and Terry were kind enought to chat with me for a few minutes and sign my booklet from the SongBook collection. Very fine gentlemen, indeed!

I would have attached these pics to my previous posting, but Corfid didn't seem to want to let me do that. Or else I just don't understand the process.
