There was a concert at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center in Saratoga, NY on August 18, 1981 (it's listed on http://www.lightfoot.ca/). It sounds about right time-wise. A friend told me about it. I don't recall if he was at the concert, or had heard about it so I'm not sure if this is first, second or what hand info. It seems people were shouting from the audience requesting songs. Gord got mad, made some not-too-polite comment to them through the mic and walked off the stage. I'm glad he came back up after that. Not all artists care enough about making music to face the music.
