There has been a movie out there, named "Neil Young: Heart of Gold," which I saw today. It's not a movie, really, it's the videography of a concert Neil and his band did, last August in Nashville, Tennessee.
Now, I've been listening to Neil's music for 40 years, but never have seen him in concert. This movie was just like going to a concert. The camera-men moved around the stage and zoomed in on all the band members quite often. They caught all of Neil's personal commentary between the songs. It was like seeing Gord's last concert in Reno, when I had a front-row seat.
The point here is, I wish Gordon Lightfoot would do a similar movie. You see, I think Neil Young did this movie because after his brain aneurism event, Neil saw his mortality. Same with Gordon, after his own abdominal aneurism.I'd love to see a movie of Gord doing a concert, with interviews of his band members, as this movie did.
