I can't match having him pop by the washroom story.... but -

From the Lightfoot.ca site under 1971 - "- Lightfoot caps another successful year with an appearance at Carnegie Hall."

I was there. November soimethingorother. Gord, Rick and Red. He was doing several songs from Don Quixote which hadn't quite come out yet. Did Kristofferson's "Loving Her Was Easier" which, given the company that night turned out to be entirely appropriate.

Saw him the next spring doing a benefit concert at County College of Morris here in NJ. Discoevred right away that the acoustics of a college gym are quite different from Carnegie Hall.

I didn't make the Count Baise this year. That had much to do with the $120 ticket price. I saw him there in 1998 which was my first trip to that theater that I'm now a member of. Wonderful sound and since they have finally restored in a really pretty venue to boot.
