Superb set by Gordon Lightfoot, one of my top favourites, and band. Lightfoot's vocals are brilliantly clear, with a great choice of songs; enjoy.
Thanks and appreciation are owed the recordist, of whose name I am no longer aware, for the excellent source recording. The torrent has applause in balance, many talk and some music levels raised, hoots, etc. removed or reduced, and is free of disturning audience chatter. It is a fresh transfer from my clone and therefore will differ from previous versions of this performance, if any.

Faults: Mild and infrequent usual audience interference, coughs. Some hoots, though reduced, remain annoying.
