Just got back from the Orlando show. Nice, intimate venue, only seats about 900 tops.

Here's the setlist:

Did She Mention My Name
Carefree Highway
Sea of Tranquility
14 Karat Gold
Never Too Close
Painter Passing Through
Let It Ride
Rainy Day People
Shadows
Beautiful
The Watchman's Gone
Ribbon of Darkness
Sundown
Edmund Fitzgerald

INTERMISSION

Sweet Guinivere
Cotton Jenney
Restless
Sea of Loneliness
Waiting For You
Make Way for the Lady
Fine as Fine Can Be
If You Could Read My Mind
Home From the Forest
Baby Step Back
CRT
Don Quixote (encore)

He was able to hit the notes tonight, but not with any real force behind him. Not much talking, except for 3 jokes.

The band was very subdued. I could barely hear Carter's guitar, either in riffs or in solos. Mike's piano was pretty quiet too. I spoke to the sound man at the break and asked him to turn it up, but he said that's the way Lightfoot wanted it. Oh well...

I took several pictures, but because I wasn't using flash they all came out blurry. Here's two of Carter that aren't horribly blurry.

My husband surprised me with this concert last night for my birthday. I enjoyed it very much. I saw Gordon Lightfoot back in the middle 80's in Canada where I am from. I was front row and very honored to meet him after. Bravo that he still loves to tour he told me!

Welcome!
I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the concert-what a great surprise. Where are you from in Canada? Did you see Lightfoot at Massey Hall?


Happy belated birthday!
