BTW, does anyone out there have "sound stage" on DVD? I have a tape but it's quality is pretty poor. Sure would like a copy, hint, hint.

I just received a DVD copy of the '79 Soundstage show that I bid for and won on EBay.
It appears to be copied from a well-worn VHS or Beta recording, but it's definitely worth picking up. The only distraction is the appearance of white specks from time to time, that you see when you play a tape on a VCR with dirty recorder heads. The audio is surprisingly good, and Gord is in fine voice. He is touring behind the Endless Wire album, and does a few tracks from that LP. Ghosts of Cape Horn and Edmund Fitzgerald are augmented by old newsreel footage. The band members do some voice-over commentary about working with Gord halfway through the show that is quite interesting.
It is a rare treat to see a young, healthy Lightfoot belt out some of his best songs. The seller has quite a few copies up for bids. Give it a shot- you'll really enjoy it.
