Short Break

Gordon appeared for second half with Mike Heffernan,
Spoke about writing this song in 1992 when America
went into Iraq, then did a brilliant rendition of,

Drink Yer Glasses Empty
The rest of the band joined them for:
Now And Then
Ribbon Of Darkness
Sundown
All The Lovely Ladies
I'd Rather Press On
Minstrel Of The Dawn
Rainy Day People
Let It Ride
If You Could Read My Mind (Great response from audience)

Then spoke about the various people who have covered this next song,
particularly Elvis. Then did

I thank Gordon for giving me and my wife, plus the thousands who have seen him so far and those still to see him here in the UK and Ireland.

PS I bought a Lightfoot tee shirt.
