Went to the concert in Red Bank, NJ. It was my fifth Lightfoot show. It was cozy as usual but once again, he really has to get rid of the capos on his guitars as his vocals are suffering big time. The keys are way too high and at one point during "Canadian Railroad Trilogy", he really sounded awful. I know this subject has been beaten into the ground but if anyone out there who knows the guy can sit down and talk to him about it, perhaps he would reconsider. All he has to do is lose the capos and lower the keys. It's not hard to do. Come on Gord!
