I like the Trilogy the way it was originally done - that concert version is my favorite - except for the bozo that claps before it's over (which seems to happen all the time....)

Hi fezo,

I agree with you on CRT, I also like the Sunday Concert version best. I have become so used to the clapping, that - strange enough - if I listen to another version, I miss it.

Big Fitz75: I don't think there was any "electric" guitar in SUNDOWN, I think it was a 12-string guitar. The booklet for SONGBOOK says that "the first album on which Lightfoot played electric guitar" was 1978's ENDLESS WIRE.

Actually Tom, BigFitz75 is correct. There IS electric guitar in Sundown. If you check the album or CD notes, you'll see that the electric guitar is credited to Red Shea, while Terry plays the acoustic. It is probably true that the first time Gord himself played electric guitar on one of his albums was on Endless Wire, but it wasn't the first time SOMEONE had played electric guitar. He'd been utilizing electric guitar for years before that. One thing I've always wondered about is why Red played electric on Sundown, while Terry did the accoustic parts. I always believed that one of the reasons that Gordon brought TC into the band while Red was still there was because Gord wanted to add electric and Terry with his country rock background was more proficient with it, while Red was a master at the acoustic. But in Sundown the usual roles are reversed. Interesting.
