Yes, that was the most impressionable concert performance by Gordon Lightfoot I'd ever experienced.

After that show I became "lighthead2toe."

A newcomer to Toronto and in that year 26 years old, my girlfriend and I were seated, as I recall, directly facing Gord but this vid does not show us. The afro had not yet arrived JJ. It came later, maybe late seventies, early eighties. All us guys got them, even Gord bought into it. I guess you could say it was an era sort of thing.

Thanks for sharing this Char. I knew the CBC would have it stashed away somewhere in their Lightfoot treasure trove. We just need them to unravel the rest.
