and Terry was also highly praised for his version of CRT at the Tribute show. Lightfoot was very impressed with his guitar playing. I find that most covers of Lightfoot songs seem a bit slower than Gord's version. I think even the IDOL show had the songs slowed a bit too much...
I can't imagine the feelings those performers went through as they sang Lightfoot tunes with Lightfoot sitting 25 feet away....ack!
