Minstrel of the Dawn
Christian Island

It would appear that Char got the setlist from the listing on setlist.fm. but unfortunately that list appears to be the figment of somebody's imagination, that is unless the good ship Silverheels was not being blown by the summer wind but was instead Drifting around Georgian Bay, if you get my Drift.
Let me explain. I had noted that her original postings both here and on Facebook included no set list at all and decided to concoct one from the evidence presented by the video which I realised looked suspicously short at 1:16 (or even 1:17).
In fact that recording mysteriously stops before the end of I'd Rather Press On, thereby omitting no less than six songs
Just as signifcantly after Gord finished Minstrel Of The Dawn there is not a shred of evidence that "She's a good old boat and she'll stay afloat" instead he launches directly into Drifters
Perhaps whoever thought up that setlist had had too much "whiskey of the Highlands" as had the Newpaper's Author: mmencken
whose otherwise nice review also shows that he for one seems to have thought that he had heard not only Christian Island but 14 Karat Gold as well!!
He included a link to the setlistfm setlist (that Char must have cribbed from) whose editor:livemusicfan has apparently now written up 153 Lightfoot setlists I just wonder how many others are inaccurate
I checked his Englewood NJ one against my own posted and known accurate set list and it agreed.
Some other points I noted when I was abortively trying to make my Austin setlist
On Let It Ride
In one verse although he sang its opening "here's to the girls of London" correctly the first time round he then stumbled and continued "La La La La" but ever the professional he tried it again and the second time he was no longer in La La Land and sang the correct second city "Montreal"!
Introducing I'd Rather Press On he admitted
"I wrote all my songs with the capo in the second position"
