Hello All,
My first post. I flew to Las Vegas specifically to see Lightfoot. I've seen him numerous times during the last 20 years. The show started around 8 and we were outside at 9:15. A very short set I thought. Looking at the set lists from the previous shows on this tour, there were a lot of songs he cut from this one:Shadows, CRT, Christian Island, Bitter Green, Pony Man, Beautiful, and some others. It pains me to say I thought his voice sounded very thin. I know he's not 35 anymore and with everything he's been through I wasn't expecting him to play for 2.5 hours. But he seemed tired.(We were in Vegas, after all) That being said, I thought there were a couple of songs he nailed. Triangle was my favorite, and I thought he did a very good job on Let It Ride. As an encore he did Old Dan's Records. This is the one song in particular I thought his voice couldn't catch up with. Midway through, he sang the wrong line and stopped the band before started the song over again. I'm sorry this is not a wonderful review and I didn't record the set list.
