in that case it is a shame they did not in advance invite Bob to join them on stage to do the Wreck, No on second thoughts good job they did not, given that the song is already quite enough of a dirge!!
I just googled for Bob Dylan Edmund Fitzgerald and was rewarded by a nice GL trivia page at:-

sample question
Gordon Lightfoot credits another very successful musician with being his largest musical influence.
Which wiry-haired singer-songwriter of Jewish ancestry does Gord credit as being his number one 'musical peer'?
(this artist doesn't use his real surname)
well known answer
Bob Dylan. Gord has rubbed elbows with many great artists throughout his career, and credits many with being driving forces that motivated him in his musical career. Some of those he names are; John Denver, Jim Croce, Eric Clapton, and of course, Bob Dylan being his favourite musical personality. Dylan once said, "Gordon Lightfoot, every time I hear a song of his, it's like I wish it would last forever". One of Gord's proudest moments in his musical career was when Bob Dylan appeared at the 1986 Juno Awards to present him with the award of induction into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame
