What a treat to have this back after all those years. Thanks Jesse Joe. It's great having you aboard this ship let me tell ya'. Watching this transported me back into an era that I continue to long for and to go back and live in again. But it is without a doubt the original performance. I was living in the east end of Toronto at the time, glued to the TV set, and left somewhat hypnotized when it was over. Those flashbacks sure were bright ones believe me. So great to see Red Shea there, and boy does that ol' B45 ever ring out and Gord really knows how to drive it so it fires on all twelve strings. The inspirational mark I was left with from hearing that song for the very first time still lives with me today. Today the Canadian Railroad Trilogy is my favorite Gordon Lightfoot song. Cheers, Ron J.
