Gordon Lightfoot to play in Moncton Nearly five years after cancelling tour dates, including a Moncton show, in the face of a near-fatal health problem, Gordon Lightfoot is finally coming to the Hub City. Fiona Diamond of concert promoter Brookes Diamond Productions confirmed yesterday to the Times & Transcript that the legendary Canadian singer/songwriter will perform at the Moncton Coliseum on May 11. Tickets for the show will go on sale Friday. Lightfoot, who turns 69 this year, is best known for hits Sundown, The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald and If You Could Read My Mind. He was scheduled to do several Maritime dates in 2002, with a concert in Moncton on Sept. 17, 2002. But before the tour, the singer collapsed from a near-fatal abdominal hemorrhage that left him bedridden in hospital for several weeks. Upon recovery, Lightfoot got to work right away on new music, eventually releasing the album Harmony in 2004. Brookes Diamond Productions was the promoter for the tour that was cancelled in 2002. It had always planned on bringing Lightfoot to the Maritimes when he was able to. "It's taken this long to get him back," Diamond says. "He's been very busy, but he did realize that he would like to perform here and not disappoint all of his fans here." The Moncton date is part of a five-city Maritime tour. Lightfoot will also perform in Saint John, Halifax, St. John's and one other date Diamond wasn't able to divulge yesterday. An official announcement for the tour is scheduled to be made today. Tickets to Gordon Lightfoot's show in Moncton on Friday, May 11, go on sale this Friday, Jan. 26. Tickets are $55, taxes included, not including box office fees. Tickets can be purchased at the Moncton Coliseum box office, by phone at 506-857-4100 or online at www.monctoncoliseum.com [ March 31, 2007, 21:22: Message edited by: Jesse-Joe ] |

Right On! Char, but down east, is pretty hard to beat in October. The color of the leafs. Have you ever done the Cabot Trail, Peggys Cove, Cape Breton?
Anyway it's been almost 5 years, and like you say... Lightfoot's comin'! ;) It's exciting beyond belief, to know that this, {Master Poet Genius, Musical Hero of mine, for so long,} will be in Atlantic Canada. And just to know that for a couple of hours, will be under the same roof as little ole moi... :D " To be insane beyond belief, Is sometimes the best relief"...~gl~ [ January 24, 2007, 10:11: Message edited by: Jesse-Joe ] |

I understand that GL is playing The House of Blues somewhere in CA (not the one in LA) on January 31st. This info comes from the Rez so it must be true.

And then I started with my stories,{lol} about the way we seem to follow him around on computer, his every concerts. I told her he has his picture taken with anyone who wants too... I even mentioned you Charlene. The story about when you went trick or treating in Rosedale, on one particular Halloween... :D I told her, you see Im not the only Lighthead, in the world. But down here it sure looks like that. :rolleyes: :eek: :D :) As far as the trip report, I dont know, I wouldn't be good at that... But thank's for asking... :) [ January 26, 2007, 05:51: Message edited by: Jesse-Joe ] |

Incredible ticket sale. I called the Coliseum Box office this morning...
And tickets to the Lightfoot show, were selling like hot cakes... First day of selling them, and the concert is only May 11, plus the price is fairly elevated, for the Coliseum. Snoop Dog will be there Jan 31, with ticket prices lower than Lightfoot... That makes me feel great. :) Gordon Lightfoot Rules!!!!!!!! :D :rolleyes: :eek: :) |
