would love to hear it the way he wrote it, just him and the guitar.

oh, i'd love to hear him do a whole coffeehouse-like set in that fashion..i dunno if his hand could endure...he's said that he'd like to be able to gig solo when the occasionally call arises..he's fairly recently performanced in unaccompanied fashion, tunes such as:

Let It Ride, If You Could Read My Mind
Couchiching, Diamond Joe, Inspiration Lady
Restless, Tag Along

other tunes that he's played recently that, IMO wouldn't suffer lack of accompaniment would be:
Sit Down Young Stranger, Pony Man, Harmony, Spanish Moss
heck, I guess he could play anything raw and i'd love it
oh, River of Lightfoot...I'd like to hear that again but either without the band or bring them way down in the mix, love his vocals on that and need to hear them:)

sorry for the diversion, there's alot of that this week, lol
brink, my addition would be Mornin Glory, recently he only did that once at the Mariposa gig...and one I'm sorry I missed hearing live was Much To My Surprise, a fave of mine from APPT

i can think of so many i'd love...Fitzy, i'd love to hear TCIS also but at it's original tempo, that's not gonna happen...i felt we were teased a bit when he had that spelled out on the floor of the MMM performance...i thought it was a cool touch anyhow:)

char, after you hit him with this list, Gord's gonna wish he never called back, lol

TT - He plays those 3 intermittently as part of the rotation-all but Ghosts..and he did that in 2005 at Massey with Billyboy leading the whistling...
lol

One that I have never heard him play is Nous Vivous Ensemble - anyone else love this short little song about mankind? Must never have been very popular - at a concert years ago when people were shouting requests, I asked for Nous. He heard me and said "you know that one?".

Dianehome, I have a feeling GL might not be too comfortable avec le(a) francais
