Re: New Bedford
Hey Jenney,
I am SO sick and tired of the same old, boring, vanilla Gordon Lightfoot concert reviews . . . can’t something different happen just once???
Seriously, so many thoughts, so little time . . .
Obviously, there should have been enough security to get this idiot out of the way and never let her get on the stage. That was absolutely the worst song/least respectful time for this to happen. Too bad they don’t to Go Go Round anymore!
It would have been really interesting to see how he would have handled this in the old days, when he was much more surly about distractions. I remember some really unhappy reactions to fans just clapping along. It is great that they all kept their poise, and apparently handled a really embarrassing situation with some sense of humor.
If I read your review correctly, you may have witnessed another first . . . one song (Let It Ride) being started three different times in one show.
It would have been so appropriate for them to break into Baby Step Back as this woman was being carted off.
Finally some great descriptions; you used a couple of phrases I’ve never heard for a Lightfoot concert review, and frankly would be happy not to hear again: 1)”industrial strength” bra; and 2)”like a bad silent movie”. But very vivid . . . I’m sure we could all close our eyes and imagine the spectacle.
Thanks for the great review.
Brian
