Speaking of the Reno DVD, did anyone notice that when Terry C.came on stage for the first set he picked up the electric guitar when the first song, "DQ" was totally acoustic? I wonder if it was just a mistake or whether there were some songs that didn't make it on the DVD. Does anyone know?

Elizabeth, you are very observant! DQ was the second song played; he opened with Sea Of Tranquility. In total, he played 27 songs that night, of which 22 made the DVD. One of the other four, Beautiful, was used in the CBC 14 song broadcast but not on the DVD. One must assume that certain songs were omitted because there was something that Lightfoot didn't like; could have been a recording glitch, or some element of the performance. We all know he has a reputation of being a perfectionist.
