I'm too young to have known Ian & Sylvia, but I am a fan of Gordon Lightfoot! I was definitely blessed to see him in concert before he passed. Such a beautiful soul. <3

British comedy wouldn't exist if it wasn't for these 3.

❤

Actually I think you'll find that the song was written by some guy called Paul McCartney. I mean, whatever happened to him?

what a song for a great singer, one of the best from the 70's

Probably the straightest audience Gordie ever faced.

her voice only got better as she got older

Written & also sung by Paul McCartney.

.. sure sounds like Donald Dunn on bass.

This was really enjoyable.

Damb pretty song.

Never saw this on tv

The GOONS would of hated having there comedy analyzed by idiots telling us why it was funny ,what an insult to them and to us.

Awesome!

How True, This Song IS,, From the B.C. Coast !! All those Years ago !! P.S. The Hookers in the Song Meant the Loggers !!! ~ Most Songs are Canadiana.... from all of Canada ,, West To East of this Vast Land !!

This Vid,,, came Out , many Yrs. after my Twin Sister & I were Born,, but was sent to me , many Years after, when Serving in Afghanistan, as A young Medical Officer ...

Miss him.

Boy does this bring back warm memories

Silly buggers

A very handsome and beautiful singer

KNOTTY PINE!?!

I reckon if O.F.I.T.G writer - David Renwick had put his mind to it, he could have given Jonathan Miller a role in the form of victor mildews more chirpy, friendly, and more successful brother - Hector Mildew

Early Morning Rain is a great song.

❤it? Was IAN a rodeo 🐄 COWBOY ? TOO 2,also?2?2?😊

No coverage of The Killer Joke ?????

Braun not Brown, dumm-kopf !!!

Yes quite like that Go On Show.

Superb doc. Every single aspect of their humour was covered with love and enthusiasm. The best comefy troupe ever.

Use to have a drink after work in the grafton arms just off Victoria Street where they first met

This is so good. What a golden age we've lived through...

All the real legends of real music !!! thank you !!!

I especially love songs like this from his 60’s United Artists recordings.

Wonder why John stockfish left this trio. He certainly was an excellent bassist.

It’s amazing that all the audience is completely silent to listen, as if they scarcely breathe. And then the standing ovation after, it gives me goosebumps.

The most beautiful song ever composed. To me anyways…

I wish so badly that I would have been there for this incredible show. We miss you, Gordon.

I perform Gordon Lightfoot music at my acoustic shows and I’m so moved by his spirit and so grateful for the beautiful music he left for us…a treasure on all levels 🎸🎶❤️

Cheers me up when presenting ...y a my Bora Perdido mi companero my rapidly desde Cancer Muy Bien EL Goons❤

I'm surprised that no-one here is pointing out the fact that all The Goons were straight, white males. Which completely invalidates everything they ever did, in the eyes of some people.

One concert I got backstage, and asked Gordon, "How does one make the big time ? " He said, "Go to Hollywood and start knocking on doors". He added, "Just give them one or two songs; nobody should get all your stuff ". Guess that was the voice of experience!

40:59 I wonder if King Charles III remembers that?

Magnificent mother first. Brilliant artist second was the exquisite Phoebe Snow. Simply one of the very best. Period.

Once must have been funny to some it seems...............

From the Andy Williams show, I believe.

What a lovely documentary! I have pretty much all the surviving Goon Shows on my phone, and I wouldn't be without them: they (perhaps ironically) keep me sane. While listening, I've often thought to myself that Spike Milligan might very well be the funniest person who ever lived.

It's hard to believe this is 45 years ago

These old documentaries are gold. Hollywood brings out movies like Dunkirk and the new Masters Of The Air shows, but this is where you find the really small details that don't make it to the big screen.

I believe our generation is blessed ,we’re full of life’s expressions through music - protests for change- expressions of loving -we ‘expressed a lot and still continue to do that in ways that individually and in groups- I am honored to be part of the baby boomers generation -

Great words from STP
