Default Re: Gordon's Set List

Thank you Sir John and everyone else. You've all been very helpful. Although I now realize that Gordon doesn't play SFAWN or EMR if he plays CRT, I remember in on June 22nd, 2007 at the Glenn in Austin, Texas, Gordon playing CRT and not SFAWN. But I know I would have walked away either sad if he didn't play EMR. I just can't remember him playing or not playing it. But if he hadn't played it, I would think I would have remembered him leaving it out. For that was the first Gordon Lightfoot song I ever remember listening to. And I've never seen a set list from that particular Austin. Might Gordon have played both CRT and EMR together during that period? Sorry if this question sounds confusing. Does anyone by chance have a set list for the night in question? I would love to have it. One thing that was very memorable after that gig. Barry Harvey stopped Gordon's car with Rick Haynes driving as it exited up the steep dirt and gravel road out of the venue. As Gordon sat in the car autographing my album, I remarked how I loved the song Shadows. And Gordon started to tell me of just "how tough it was to play it that night." Here was Gordon Lightfoot telling me just how tough it was playing one of my favorite songs. I was so in shock and ecstatic, I can't even recall the whole answer he gave me on why it was tough. Luckily a local disc jockey's boyfriend captured that memorable moment on a series of photos. Which they ended up sending to me. That's another reason a set list is so important to me. I just want to document my whole experience.
