I would agree with your view re. the second half.
To me, the best song of the evening was 'Restless.'
As it is a later song ( as in '93 ) his voice had changed a fair bit by then anyway.
I found the main thing of the Concert was actually seeing Gord .
Back in 2008 I was at the Massey Hall and the feeling and real affection for Gordy came out in that concert.
Massey is a classic 'home' for Lightfoot.
I'm really pleased I went to Oxford.
This is the last time I will see my favourite singer live.
Martyn.
PS. I often use his line, ' I wish you good spaces in the faraway places you go' when writing to people leaving for a holiday.
When my sister-in-law was at University, I always quoted a GL line at the end of the letter.
I can always find a Lightfoot song for any situation I'm in.
Very reassuring...
