I always thought that "Trilogy" would have been a great video. I love that song as well!

Actually, in a sense, Trilogy was one of the earliest and original music videos ever performed. It was commissioned by the CBC for a 1967 New Year's Day special telecast to celebrate Canada's centennial. The first public performance was on this program which you can watch on the CBC Archives and see that, in fact, it really was a "music video!"

Lots of great Gord stuff on this CBC Archives site, by the way.
