If Gord said to you "What 5 songs do you want me to play for you tonight", what would your selections be?

Among Mine are:

Now and Then
Looking at the Rain
Go My Way
A Tree too Weak to Stand
Second Cup of Coffee

Sit Down Young Stranger

While deciding this, I was thinking of which songs would sound good a solo songs, songs that Gord has a strong guitar part on, ones that would work without his backup band.

I will take this topic to mean it doesn't necessarily matter if he normally doesn't play them live--that this is a complete "wish list!" Here are my current five (in no particular order):

I'll Tag Along
East of Midnight (the "light arrangement")
Miguel
Restless
Ballad of the Yarmouth Castle
Derek

I missed this one a while back, but it's such a great topic, I want to take a stab at it. In my response, I will assume that Gord is playing alone, without the band, and that the setting is a small coffee house in a seaside town in Nova Scotia, with an audience of about 10 (Lightfoot fans all). I am going to omit any song I've heard in concert (including Beautiful, Christian Island and SFAWN, each of which otherwise would be on my list), because I'm picturing this as an intimate setting and time to hear some rarities. In this setting, the mood is set by the smell of the coffee, the sound of the waves and the crackle of the fireplace.


On the High Seas
Affair on Eighth Avenue
Too Much To Lose
Ballad of the Yarmouth Castle
I'll Tag Along

I have a feeling that Gord won't be coming so we will have plenty of food. We are going to take a portable CD player with plenty of Gordon Lightfoot CD's. I promise that if a stranger shows up at our door, and is willing to carry fire wood for food and music- we will cheerfully take you in, Feed you and listen to Gord!!!!!!
