Gordon Lightfoot Forums - View Single Post - POLL: Best overall segment from BBC Live '71

My favourite segments are:
Your Love's Return (Never took much notice of this excellent song and now I can't find my CD of IYCRMM!)
Summer Side Of Life (better than the original and Gord's strumming is mesmerising)
Steel Rail Blues (amazing control in those vocal gymnastics)
Talking In Your Sleep (Great to see a live version, including the soft chant)
Affair On Eighth Avenue (Still can't believe it was the song dropped from "Gord's Gold" for the CD version)
Highlights overall include Red's lightning fretwork, Gord's vocals at their peak and the band's ability to equal and exceed studio originals of a couple of albums I had underappreciated.
