Another great concert recording that was available on rapidshare is the
superb 1969 Charlottetown Festival performance, the links I found were all to
http://rapidshare.com/files/15884890...__PEI_1969.zip
but that link now now leads you to this messsage:-
Due to a violation of our terms of use, the file has been removed from the server
 
To try to find a still working link I needed to research internet web pages referring to this great recording of so I googled for short "Gordon Lightfoot Char",always a dangerous action!!
I found three unexpected results
1 a forum at topix.com forum about Barry Harvey at:-
http://www.topix.com/forum/who/gordo...T3PMSD5E7OLHGE
which opened with a copy of Jesse-Joe's posting on corfid at
http://www.corfid.com/vbb/showpost.p...1&postcount=54
and included postings from Char, Mike Pollina the Truck driver
from Phoenix AZ, Barry's daughter (name unknown but it starts with an "S") and his son Ryan
2 an Italian language website with artwork
http://rockrarecollectionfetish.blog...wn-summer.html






and 3 a page with some comments about Red Shea and a religion on:-
http://knockingjw.blogspot.com/
either scroll a long way down or quicker
after the page opens use the edit>find facility to search for Shea the section opens with this amusing observation
"Red, who hails from Saskatchewan, was Lightfoot’s lead guitarist through most of the 60’s. He also recorded with him during the 70s. Red is credited with much of Gord’s sound. You can find him on the early albums. He mainly played acoustic lead although I saw him try to play the kitchen sink once on Tommy Hunter."
