Just the two of them.
Red Shea, his lead guitar player wasn't available for that gig so Gord being the ultimate professional just kicked in there with his choice of selective lead guitar licks.
I remember he just blew the audience away when he picked out the lead solo in "Bitter Green." I think it was around that period when "Bitter Green" was released as a single

That is a wondeful memory Ron
However I think you just might have got your dates a tad mixed up??
I am pretty sure he wrote Bitter Green on a later trip to the UK in fact I think he introduced the song during the great 1969 CBC recording of that year's Charlottetown Festival as being about the "heroine of Pigs Eye Minnesota" (the present day St Pauls)
and then described writing it during the ride into London from the airport
