Admittedly, there's something incongruous about seeing Gordon Lightfoot on such a large stage, especially one that will soon be occupied by Motley Crue. And yet, standing there alone, with nothing more than an acoustic guitar, Gord is most definitely in his element. The crowd, which in some areas skews very young, is reverent. Gord's delicate and timeless ballads (”If You Could Read My Mind” among them) ring out with elegance. How can Our Lady Peace possibly hope to follow up?
