Next to the very last Rush gig in Toronto (to which I had tickets that I had to give away to keep a work commitment), this is the concert I am definitely kicking myself for not attending.

This was wonderful. I could have seen Steppenwolf's John Kay adding something to this show, being an old Yorkville Villager at one time with the Sparrows, too bad he wasn't there.

Thank you for posting this, John. Not able to get up north or I would have loved to been there. Did get to see a Gordon tribute years ago and the old Hugh's Room. Annie Lindsay and Jason Fowler were there that night. Great show. Gordon's music is timeless.

Joni Mitchell and Bob Dylan are always written about being the greatest songwriters, ever. I can't dispute that because both are indeed really great songwriters. However, I think Gordon Lightfoot was one of the greatest songwriters around but he doesn't seem to be given the same status or level as Dylan and Joni Mitchell and I don't know why. He truely wrote so many, many great songs! Extremely great songs actually.

You forgot to mention, Aysanabee, and his story was so touching... The TO story failed to note both Indigenous performers! Could it be they simply don't know them? and if not, WHY? Two remarkable singer / songwriters up and coming! Thanks though, this is awesome!

@0:15, i don't know who Kathleen Edwards is but good lord she butchered Carefree Highway! 'searching through the fragments of my dream suddered SHEEP' ... shuttered SHEEP??? (it's supposed to be dream shattered sleep.) and she gets the tempo wrong and puts the emphasis on the wrong syllables. From what i've seen there were some great performances at this show, but a few turkeys like hers too.

Gord very well knew who Kathleen Edwards is. Maybe you should have looked her up before attacking her. Gord certainly had a much better opinion of her than you apparently formulated after a couple of minutes. Dude, the reason she sounded bad on this recording (as did everyone) is that it was recorded with a phone. I’m sure that John McDermott, being a musician of stature himself, knew better than to post something with better quality and complete songs because it would quite quickly receive a strike down from KZitem, especially since CBC holds the broadcast rights to the entire concert.
