I saw Gordon in Vegas on Saturday night. I didn't keep track of the songs but looking at what's listed here, I'd say it was a combination of the two. He sounded really good! Seemed really relaxed until the end when there was a problem with his amp & he cut out a couple songs. If you get a chance to see him at The Orleans in Vegas, go. It's an 800 seat theater & the acoustics & sound are the best I've ever heard Gordon in. He's scheduled to be there in August & I'm going to try to go back for it. This is the best I've heard him in years (First Lightfoot concert in 1976).

My husband and I were at the Vegas concerts on Mar. 21 and Mar. 22. They were terrific! I thought Gordon's voice sounded as good as it did 10 years ago. Seems that 5 months off really agrees with him - and I told him so. The Orleans theatre is really good - both in sound quality and size of auditorium. He didn't fill up the place, like he did last August, but that doesn't seem to be a big concern for any of them. We are planning to go back for the Aug. 8 and Aug. 9 concerts. See you there!
