Gordon Lightfoot Live in Concert

[@daviator4720]

This man wrote the score of my life... From my days in Ontario, then Alberta, then across the globe... His music reflected my life times that likely mirrored his in a way... From my first GF in 1970, to my battle with cancer in 2024... RIP Gord, see you soon I think ... somewhere near Jesus ....

[@Kathleen-d4m]

I'm not Canadian, but he was definitely one of the greatest artists of the 20th century. I wish I could have seen him live in his prime.

[@pamcampbell6991]

Gordon is a big part of the musical fabric of my youth. What a stunning, iconic minstrel.

[@richgearity6237]

I will sometimes grab a Scotch, sit by the fire on a winter's night and watch this concert end-to-end. Such an incredible song writer and performer. Rick Haynes, the bassist, still tours with Gordon. Unfortunately, Red Shea, his extraordinary guitarist, has passed on. So glad we have these videos and recordings to listen to.

[@TheRealDannAlexander]

I would add that Rick Haynes remains one of the greats of bass who does not get proper credit for his work. Both him and the late John Stockfish are big influences on me.

[@danbei2232]

Yup

[@appointedzeusthegod5125]

That is a total mood. I do that exactly when it's a nice fall day and just sit outside and turn it on my speaker. Even tho I'm a young lad I think Gordon lightfoot has the best music and his creations spark a new view of life and it definitely spark a new view for me. It saddens me that one day he will pass and we won't have the good music like he makes anymore. But we will surely have his creations saved and memories of his doing. I want my generation to really see how much he inspired to others.

RIP Gordon. My neighbor to the North....your music has embodied the Humanity of the Canadian Spirit. I listened on my small transistor radio tuned to 1020 CHUM, the artificial border unable to contain the radio air to the Canadian side, Gord, your tunes wafted to my transistor radio and very young ears and were then projected out my mouth as I sang along. That vibrato in your voice riding perfect melodies against perfect poetry. We passed briefly and nodded to one another at Mariposa last year and over the years I've been fortunate to attend a show or two. Thank you for everything. Your memory will be treasured.

This BBC performance is the gold standard for me. Gordon in his prime, and he is completely locked in! As a live acoustic performer, I could only hope to sound as good for 5 seconds as my man sounds for over an hour straight. And every song he plays from his ridiculous catalog is an absolute chestnut. Close your eyes and you would swear you were listening to his actual studio recordings. Gordon Lightfoot will always be the best singer/songwriter these ears will ever hear. His lyrics and melodies are so special to me.

I'm a newcomer to Gordon's music; I'm a college student who loves oldies music. I heard his songs on the radio and Alexa every now and then, and I hid from Gordon for a while, until yesterday when "The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald" came on Alexa and I really listened this time. I saw a documentary about the tragedy of the ship with Gordon singing the song in the background. It gave me goosebumps, and then one of my friends who is a radio DJ and also plays in a Beatles tribute band in New York, one of his favorite artists outside of The Beatles is Gordon. He likes to sing Gordon's songs occasionally, and "If You Could Read My Mind" has become our love theme song. We live two states away from each other, and I have not seen him since before the pandemic happened. He used to drive down to see me when he was performing in my state of PA and I would go see him perform with my parents. He gave me a CD of him singing covers, and one of them was "If You Could Read My Mind!" He actually got to see and meet Gordon many years ago, and he told me what a great performer Gordon was. When he and I reunite soon, I want a Beatles song or any Gordon song to be playing in the background! Miss you, Dave! Gordon, I'm ready for you now!

Amazing to hear just how well these three men play live. The comment section is full of superlatives, all deserved. So many beautiful songs and everyone seems to have a memory attached. Thank Gordon - Red - and Rick.

[@stuartbrook6127]

I saw this when it was first on BBC and saw him at the Royal Albert Hall in London in 1970, 1971 and 1972. All quite wonderful. (Saw him many times after that too in London and here in Canada) As much as I enjoyed and appreciated Lightfoot and his songs both lyrics and tunes, what I didn't realize were many intricacies of the musicianship. Lots of little things that contribute so much to the songs. A couple notes ... a guitar slide ... an extra bar pause in a verse that may not be in other verses. These draw emphasis in such subtle ways that you don't hear them until you actually listen to the music with an unusually critical ear. A modern folk style musician beyond compare in all senses of the genre.

[@jmainiaanimations]

All I can say, Gord, is thank you for all of the music you gave us during your incredible life.

[@oliverbell5765]

The first time I heard of him was more than 50 years ago when he released If You Could Read My Mind. Beautiful melody and haunting lyrics. I was hooked. It is still my favorite song. I have almost all of his albums and then I ended up buying the same recordings when they came out on CD. In the past 50 years, I have probably spent more time listening to to his music than all of the other artists combined. I frequently watch this video on my phone while working at my computer. Gordon in his prime. Seems like I have lost an old friend - but we still have his music!

[@garyhenson117]

The BBC replayed this episode of their 'In Concert' series in tribute to Gord in June 2023, a month after he had passed away at the age of 84. Unlike the original broadcast it was aired in prime time, as befits a world-class musical legend. The 1971 concert, with Gord backed by the classic duo of Red Shea on lead guitar and Rick Haynes on electric bass, is a historical treasure-trove of Canadian country-folk music in its own right - yet at time of recording he still hadn't released a host of memorable songs like Beautiful, Sundown, Carefree Highway, The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, and Endless Wire! Gord was a tremendous songwriting talent and I feel his loss deeply.

I grew up on Gordon Lightfoot. My mom had all his albums on vinyl and we used to listen to him together. I lost her last August and now he's gone too. Both are gone, but not forgotten. Thank you Gordon for the great songs and better memories.

Certainly not forgotten you mom and Gordon.

GL looked just like this the first time I saw him in concert... it was love at first sight, and first chord!

[@Robert-gg1er]

I saw him at an outdoor concert in the late 1990's near Pittsburgh. He was in his late 50's at the time. A good concert with nearly 10,000 in attendance according to Allegheny County officials.

When he was young and healthy here on Earth; may he now sing free in a better place. RIP.
