CAN YOU SPOT LIGHTFOOT??? A specially-commissioned 10 foot triptych mural by Sir Peter Blake entitled ""Appearing at the Royal Albert Hall"" in London, England was unveiled in April 2014 at the iconic London venue. Blake is the artist who did the Beatles Sgt.Pepper album design.
The piece is a montage of over 400 stars who have taken to the world’s most famous stage from its opening in 1871 to the present day. Lightfoot will be appearing there on May 24, 2016 as part of his 2016 U.K. tour. It will be his first time back in the U.K. since May 18,1981. He appeared at RAH 6 times since his first visit on June 4, 1971. Clicking on a face will open a window with more info about the artist. You can move the picture with your mouse (left/right - up/down and ZOOM in/out using + - on top left of page.

After much study, I think think he is #200 on the white numbered montage. Equate that with picture 5. I think!

Interesting set list there
that scan from Frank also reveals that Gord was accompanied by a bass player (Rick) and an oddly surnamed Guitar player presumably picked up somewhere in Ireland!
I am wondering if anybody here knows the dates of all six of the RAH concerts.
I had returned to the UK from Montreal in late 1969 as an avid Lightfoot fan but in those primitive pre internet days it was difficult finding out about upcoming concerts. I looked every Saturday in the Daily Telegraph and was able to catch the 10 June 1972 one see the setlist on
http://www.lightfoot.ca/720610.htm
and 18 May 1981 concerts but I missed knowing about that 1971 first RAH appearance and another in May 1974 that Bruna (Silverheels) went to
and I read somwhere recently a claim that Gord was at the RAH every year from 1971 to 1975 which if that is correct with the 1981 concert does indeed make six
