He was able to hit the notes tonight, but not with any real force behind him. Not much talking, except for 3 jokes.

The band was very subdued. I could barely hear Carter's guitar, either in riffs or in solos. Mike's piano was pretty quiet too. I spoke to the sound man at the break and asked him to turn it up, but he said that's the way Lightfoot wanted it. Oh well...

I took several pictures, but because I wasn't using flash they all came out blurry. Here's two of Carter that aren't horribly blurry.

My husband surprised me with this concert last night for my birthday. I enjoyed it very much. I saw Gordon Lightfoot back in the middle 80's in Canada where I am from. I was front row and very honored to meet him after. Bravo that he still loves to tour he told me!:clap:

Welcome!
I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the concert-what a great surprise. Where are you from in Canada? Did you see Lightfoot at Massey Hall?

Happy belated birthday!
