Referring back to the topic that started this post, and correcting one of my earlier posts where I misspoke myself, the PBS 1972 Concert "Made in Chicago" featured just Gord, Terry and Rick Haynes (I said Red earlier). Here's the set list from that performance: The Patriot's Dream, Don Quixote, Affair on 8th Avenue, IYCRMM, It's Worth Believing, You Are What I Am, Beautiful, SDYS, 10* and Getting Colder, Softly, Boss Man, EMR, Can't Depend on Love, Cotton Jenny and Old Dan's Records. Rick1956 mentioned earlier that Gord dropped his pick and referred to picks being "elusive things." That was between SDYS and 10*, but most of his remarks are clipped out in the CD that I have - you hear him saying "elusive things" and that's about all. It was,though, one FINE concert and reminds me of the many concert performances I was lucky enough to attend back in the early to mid-70s. Gord's voice was truly at its finest then. In recent years I have been a little disappointed when I attend concerts and he doesn't perform several of what I consider his finer songs from those early days. The reason, undoubtedly, is that his vocal range just won't let him do some of those old classics any more. In particular I think of The Minstrel of the Dawn in this category. Ahh well, time and living take their toll on all of us in unfortunate ways. So, I'm rambling now. Chuck D. and PSA...please contact me here:
