Re: Youtube reactors

Since I posted the above Trey and Shawn at Reactions to the Classics have reacted to a couple of lesser-heard Lightfoot tunes, one at my behest (if you're a genius you'll work out which!):

Re: WALL STREET JOURNAL - August 2020

What a great article, thanks for posting. Always loved Jim's drumming but had never noticed the specific use of the backbeat on this track until it was pointed out.

Re: Youtube reactors

Absolutely, which is why the few reactors I have actually subscribed to are those who are all about the music first and foremost - they also tend to be the ones who are genuinely interested in...

Youtube reactors

Not sure if others here have caught on to the new genre that is youtube reactions, but in lockdown I've been sifting through a fair few of them - my favourites are Andy and Alex who dive into all...

Re: Favourite Song on "Solo" Album

Haven't got it yet but it is now on it's way - and is the first Lightfoot album I've ever managed to buy in year of release (in fact Harmony was my previous best which I got a mere 5 years later -...

Re: LONDON UK-Royal Albert Hall-May 25,2016

I didn't hear anything negative from the audience at all as I left the show (someone was lamenting the absence of 'Daylight Katy' from the setlist, which could surely only happen in the UK!) and...

Re: Lightfoot on BBC Radio!

Hmmm, wonder if next year's UK tour has reminded a few people in high places of Gord's existence? :-)

Re: U.K. 2016 TOUR!!!!!!He's going back to Royal Albert Hall !!

Have just booked my ticket for the Albert Hall gig and am, quite literally, dizzy with excitement. If someone would care to pinch me right about now that would be fine!!

Re: Poll: Favourite Closing Song on an album

Tough choice, but going with 'She's Not the Same'. If it was alllowed I'd pick 'Is There Anyone Home' (Hey, surely I'm not the only person who always played side 2 first?).

Re: Lightfoot and Chapin-Peterborough article-7-2013

Wow, now I have the answer to the age-old question of 'When would you go if you had a time machine?'! My two favourite singer-songwriters on a bill with two others not far down the list, and only one...

Re: BIlly Joel sings Lightfoot again

Always great to see love from one of my all-time favourite artists to another. Not that I need any validation for my love of Gord, obviously!

Re: HE IS FINE - it was a hoax

Well, I recently felt forced to comment on a newish Amazon (UK) review of 'Sundown' that referred to him as 'the late' Gordon Lightfoot, so it seems the rumours persist in certain quarters!

Re: Who else are you listening to?

I'm always listening to Marillion and Magnum (well, they are my two favourite bands).

I've also been on one of my periodic kicks of listening to a lot of Harry Chapin just lately.

Re: Words in Gord's lyrics & nobody else's

Gitche-Gumee
Joneses
Lee (of an island etc)
Prima Donna (but I'm sure it's heard in a song on Van Morrison's album "A Night in San Francisco")

For the above...

Not sure if Neil Diamond's...

Re: Original vs Re-recordings.

I wonder how significant which version you heard first is in determining your favourites? 'Gord's Gold' was one of the first albums I ever bought (aged 8, IIRC!) and I'm naturally pre-disposed to...

Re: Seven Island Suite

Nothing much to add to the above, but -especially given my username! - it would be remiss of me not to add my lvoe for this song in this thread!

Re: The Gord Goal

Been thinking about this lately myself, next year's out of the question but maybe 2014...I am, of course, assuming, that a sudden (final?) return to the UK is out of the question for Gord?

Re: CHUM radio top 30 CHART-1966

Thanks for that, but it's the Canadian chart positions I'm hunting, I'm a Billboard anorak for most artists I love, hence I can point out that the page linked to omits the Billboard peaks for 'Sunday...

Re: CHUM radio top 30 CHART-1966

I have never even heard of this song (it's not on Songbook either...).
Speaking of Canadian music charts is there anywhere online I can find Gord's complete singles and album chart peaks?

Re: PRESS RELASE - CD songlist

As someone who never has (and sadly never will in all likelihood) seen Gord live I'm thrilled with this release. Of course it had to have the big songs on it to have the widest appeal and the lesser...

Re: It's on!! BBC 4 - Lightfoot 1972 show
