Odd choice

I'd say give em the Wreck

[T.G.]

That was a fast-moving version of IYCRMM ... the crowd behind the stage was a bit distracting.

....but i think it was a suitable tempo for the vibe (and constraints)

it's funny how these shows always have a bunch of filler nonsense (like the quarter toss, etc) and then at the end will say "oh, i'm sorry we've run out of time"

so, yeah, what would you (or anyone) rather have?

- watching a fairly new actor playing a beer sipping game

- or listening to a brief interview with a legend, speaking words of wisdom gathered from 48 years of touring, and almost 75 years of observation and living???

anyhow, can't complain... SO when has Letterman got Gord re-penciled in for?

Games are part of Fallons show every night..
His demographic is skewed to his age group and many fans are at the shows to see Fallon regardless of his guests.
The Band Bench people are allowed to apply online for seats back there and some are chosen from the lineup of people who have reserved seats.
While it would be nice to have Lightfoot sit and chat we know that is NOT his forte so it's best left for him to do what he excels at..and he did it superbly.
I'm still working on finding the bonus tune online so Canadians can see the damn thing.
I tweeted Fallon about it. He tweeted that it was an honor to have Lightfoot on the show. I replied back with a spelling correction and got an answer back. lol

Late Night‏@LateNightJimmy
Honored to have the great Gordon Lightfoot perform "I'd Rather Press On" on the show last night http://ow.ly/jKkzM

char westbrook‏@IllTagAlong

Late Night‏@LateNightJimmy
@IllTagAlong you Canadians and your crazy U's!

[jj]

good for U, char, lol ...i doubt Jimmy (or 99.9% of the public and 89.9% of Gord fans) have never heard of I'd Rather Press On ... keep hunting

oh i wasnt singling out Fallon, all the shows are like that...Ellen, etc, etc...

maybe celebrity's agents want their appearance time limited, anyhow

personally i would rather hear Gord interviewed (he's so articulate and calm and more telling these days) than perform...these days anyhow, i think it's what he does best although the band and mix is sweet, and of course, even with today's voice, he certainly has mastered IYCRMM as an A1 heartfelt delivery

No one that was back there got it ahead of time. I had entered the sweepstakes and wasn't chosen, neither was a lady in front of me. You had to supply your date of birth for the sweepstakes.
Instead they came through and pulled the twentysomethings. Two of them ahead of me were there with their mothers, who were then left to sit alone, they didn't want the old ladies!! They were definitely going for a certain look.

[charlene]

yeah - cuz when you think LIGHTFOOT you go right to the 20 year old fans..lol.
It's quite possible that there were NO other online entries except for you for the Band Bench...and you r'numbers' didn't fit the profile..lol
THAT is NOT fair to us of a certain age!!
lol

First time I saw the Fallon show and I wasn't impressed. Only way I would watch would be if Gordon was a permanent guest. At Christmas I talked to a friend who is the head writer for David Letterman. He said that as far as he remembers the Lightfoot appearance was canceled because of a scheduling conflict. On whose end I don't know.

I just went ahead and allowed it to load...
lol

[charlene]

how to save and/or burn it/the show videos?? possible??

[KHester]

Yes you can save the whole show, then use windows movie player to edit it down to the important parts. Then save it again.

[charlene]

HOW?? please list steps to save the show/bonus tune??

[KHester]

Char,
on the mediafire page don't click on the the first download item you see..
go to the box that says MediaFire where it says download and share without ads staring at $4.99 A month...
There you'll see a lightfoot I'll rather press on.mp4 download button
press the button
it will open a window saying do you want to open or save the file
if you want to save it you have two choices save and save as
save puts it in the download folder, save as lets you choose the folder you put the file in

hopes this helps

[charlene]

LOL!!!
now i need to save it and burn a disc..HELP!!!!!!!!!!

[KHester]

Do it the easy way ... put it on a usb flash drive

[Lisa J]

I am so sad. I just got home from a work trip at midnight last night, sat down to watch my "save until I delete" recording of the fallon show and found that the screen went to black just as the drinking game began! I've been waiting all week to see that show and am aghast that I have nothing to see. I guess I will have to go through this thread today to figure out how to watch the show. I'm glad you guys have captured it. Thank you.

[charlene]

LISA - use the links DOUG previously posted for mp4 .. or go to the Late Night-Fallon website..

[Dan O'Malley]

mediafire worked fine for me. nice performance, but bit of an odd choice. Thought "Restless" or "The Wreck" might have been better. Maybe Gord wanted something a little more upbeat!

Uhhhhh. The problem may have been the suffix. I have corrected it.
If you want just Lightfoot on Fallon doing If You Could Read My Mind the link as an mp4 is here: http://www.mediafire.com/?hlq043gps4tbia3

[charlene]

Yay Doug!!

thanks!!



I am currently trying to figure out how to cut out the two interviews and just keep the first 12 minutes, when he says Lightfoot is coming up before a commercial and then the intro and IYCRMM.... then I want to add the bonus tune video and burn it to a DVD..right now the 'show' clip is too big for my DVD+RDL which has an 8.5gb capacity/240 min.
and guess what?? I have NO freaking idea how to do it.. lol
Shocking isn't it??

You really lost me when you talk about the first 12 minutes. Lightfoot is not on until much later. Are you saying you want the intro prior to IYCRMM, the performance and then I'd Rather Press On on a DVD so you can watch it later?

BTW there is no technical reason why both won't fit on a single layer DVD much less a Dual layer of 8.5 GB. Do you suppose pilot error is involved?

Confirm what you want and let me know via PM

[charlene]

I want to keep the first 12 minutes of the show and his mention of the guests. Then I want the lead into the commercial after the cointoss game when he says Lightfoot is coming up...Then the intro from the desk and IYCRMM to end of show. And add the bonus clip..
My programme said its over the size available on the DVD+RDL.. WIll try a different programme.
Maybe convert the MP4 to another type??
hhhmmmmm......
