Re: Appleton WI setlist June 23, 2013
Gord last performed in Appleton on 30Mar2008, the only Lightfoot concert I've managed to attend.
I found it interesting comparing the 2013 song list ...
* Sweet Guinevere
Cotton Jenny
Sea of Tranquility
* All the Lovely Ladies
Never Too Close
* Wild Strawberries
* Let it Ride
* Spanish Moss
Shadows
Beautiful
The Watchman's Gone
The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald
Carefree Highway
* Drink Yer Glasses Empty
* Now and Then
Ribbon of Darkness
Sundown
Restless
* I'd Rather Press On
A Painter Passing Through
Waiting For You
If You Could Read My Mind
Baby Step Back
* Canadian Railroad Trilogy
Rainy Day People.

I would have preferred to hear this year's Appleton songs, especially Canadian Railroad Trilogy, Spanish Moss and Let It Ride (the last one from my favourite Lightfoot album "East Of Midnight"). I understand Gord's voice is much better now than it was in 2008. Another obvious difference was that Carter Lancaster has replaced the late Terry Clements on guitar.
