Re: Gord on The Hour-video at site
 

Right On ! Great interview, I really like the way he looked in the 70's, curly hair and all. He mentioned Atlantic Canada. St-John NB, St-Johns Nfld, and Halifax NS. But did not mention Moncton NB... :(

I really liked it when he said coming out of the coma in 2002 and thought he was hallucinating seeing witches, who were the nurses dressed up for Halloween. :biggrin:

George's favorite song "Black Day In July."

Re: Gord on The Hour-video at site
 

This show was a reminder that there's still a lot of great footage of Gordon that hasn't seen the light of day for a while--like the cuts of his performances of "Race Among the Ruins" and walking about in the 70s. Either the CBC or other sources are sitting on some good stuff that's not on their website.

Gordon Lightfoot on The Hour ! 05/06/2008
 

Re: Gord on The Hour-video at site
 

That "Race Among The Ruins" performance was from "Olympic Team Benefit," June of 1976. Taped at Maple Leafs Garden in Toronto, with guest: Murray McLauchlan, Sylvia Tyson, and Liona Boyd. I have tried many places to find this concert. I saw it when it ran in '76' but did not have a VCR/DVD recorder in those days. Really great concert Next Saturday, hope to be able to get it one day.

And the walking about in the 70's looked like some kind of documentary from CBC ? :)

Jesse Joe,

If there were a way to pass you a hug through this computer I would. The sound was a little off but this put a big smile on my face and in my heart anyway. Thank you, thank you, thank you and thank you so much. ::) :biggrin: :clap:

Dear DSR, glad it made you happy. :) You would give me a hug, some people here would strangled me if they had the chance... :eek: You can try to be liked by everyone, but it just doesn't work. :(

The late great Stan Rogers once said, "Canadians are like puppys, they like to be loved. I think it's about time we started growing up and showing our teeth." :)

Re: Gordon Lightfoot on The Hour ! 05/06/2008
 

Thanks so much Jesse for posting this. I listened to the segment on the cbc website, but couldn't get the video, so this was a real treat.

And as speaking as a US citizen....showing one's teeth isn't all that it's cracked up to be. Don't change a thing about your collective Canadianism.

Cooool! I ran across this interview on You Tube and thought, "I've got to post this on corfid", but Jesse beat me to it.

What an awesome interview! Great to hear Gord. He looks and sounds great. :clap:

Does anyone know when this was recorded? I assume fairly recently, with the mention of Gordon Ramsey and his dates at Massey at the end of the interview.

Everyone, have fun seeing Gord this week, as I know you will!!!!!

TTYL, (talk to ya later)

I ditto DSR's comments. What a nice interview. He looks wonderful and sounds good. Wish I was seeing him tonight, or even this year. This is nice.
Thanks,

Thanks for your kind words Sundown17, really glad you were able to view and enjoy it. :)

Re: a hour with gordon
 

thanks so much for posting this! It brings back very pleasant memories. I flew into Pearson that evening (for the May 7 and May 8 concerts) and was hoping I'd make it to the Chelsea in time for the program. I think I made it about 10:45! :biggrin:

Again, thanks so much! :)
