Gordon Lightfoot
SOUNDSTAGE - PBS - 1979

"Ah yes, the legendary Soundstage Special. Lightfoot performed Cotton Jenny, The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald, Endless Wire, Summertime Dream, Don Quixote, If You Could Read My Mind, Ghosts Of Cape Horn (the first performance ever of this one), Beautiful, Hangdog Hotel Room, Sundown. At this point they broke for intermission and each band member said a few words, while in the background pictures and sounds from an earlier rehearsal were seen and heard. The second set went like this - Early Morning Rain, Whisper My Name, On The TV (later to become On The High Seas), Old Dan's Records and the Canadian Railroad Trilogy."

One of the rare Lightfoot concerts I have that didn't need any fixing whatsoever. I have done no editing of this whatsoever. Excellent Soundboard recording.

I had been asked a few times to make this available... so here it is.


The last time this was on the tracker as audio (the video's been on tracker, too), iconoclast uploaded it. That was November 4, 2005, and it was removed 47 days later after being snatched 249 times. Prior to that, on July 2, 2005, Cabbie uploaded the set that is being reseeded here, which was removed from tracker 85 days and 260 snatches later.

Frank prefers the way iconoclast reformatted the setlist:
