I am a Gordon Lightfoot fan going back to 1972.
I went to 3 of his concerts during the middle 1970's. I lost track of Gordon after his Endless Wire album. I recently repurchased some of the albums I owned in vinyl on cd because I got a hankerin to listen to Gord again. I also
wanted to know what was going on currently with him. I read with saddness about his near death illness. I am glad he is still alive and back touring.
2 questions
1. When did Lightfoot's voice change from the strong resonant baritone that I remember to the thin elderly sounding quality that I hear now. Did smoking do in his lungs, did he lose his teeth.
I have been listening to samples of his albums since Endless Wire and I seem to detect a change beginning in "EAST OF MIDNIGHT"
2. Are there any concert videos available from the Sundown to Endless wire era that are available for purchase. The live in Reno concert on dvd is good but I would like a video of the Gordon Lightfoot that I remember, including singing harmonies with the band. Is anything available?
