Gord on The Hour with George-May 2008

[Jesse Joe]

That would be my guess.

[Jesse Joe]

"The Hour" new shows just started here at 9:00 pm, George said tomorrow night in this red chair Gordon Lightfoot. So I guess it was tape or will be live in the studio, thought it would have been from Massey Hall.

Next week "Feist," will watch that one for sure also.

'BTW' George said if you meet me on the street and want to talk about The Montreal Canadiens... Dont !

[charlene]

The interview piece will be taped and will not be live with an audience and had not been done as of Saturday night..
It could have been recorded today or will be possibly tomorrow for the 11 p.m. broadcast tomorrow night..

poor George - Les Habs couldn't get it done..

[Jesse Joe]

Char do you have "The Hour" only at 11:00 pm ?

I have it on CBC Newsworld at 9:00 pm and then again on CBC at 11:00 pm.

Must be the same with you guys in Toronto ??

Yes The Habs couldn't do it !

[charlene]

it's on CBC at 11 p.m. as a new episode..Then again at 3 a.m. on CBC Newsworld..then it's 8 p.m. on Newsworld again.
I think that's how they work it.. I'll watch the 11 p.m. show on CBC tonight and see if it is what you saw tonight..should be..

[charlene]

I'm watching CBC - not CBCnewsworld. It is the show with Pauly Shore..It is a new show as The Hour has been on hiatus. The show is also on the website right now..it says watch last nights show..there wasn't a 'last night' so it may be that the show aired somewhere on CBC at 8..or at least earlier than 11 here in Toronto.
So - try the website tomorrow after10 p.m. and see if the Lightfoot interview will be on. I will see if the 8 p.m. airing on CBCnewsworld is the Lightfoot show..i doubt it..CBCnewsworld gets the CBC reruns..
hmmm..
I'm sure this makes no sense to anyone other than JJoe and me.
lol
Seems odd that you'd get an airing before Toronto..and considering the time zone change..
George just said that Massey Hall is the house that Gord built..lol
even tho it predates him..
lol
should be a freakin good time with George and Gord..

You can now watch (the first 15 minutes) for his references to Gord..

[Jesse Joe]

I got that Pauly Shore show at 9:00 pm on CBC Newsworld and then again at 11:00 pm on CBC. Yes George said that Massey Hall is the house that Gord built..lol Also that he had tickets to this week at Massey for him & his uncle that used to play him Gordon Lightfoot songs on his guitar when he was younger.

I would have thought that if I get the show at 9:00 pm,(ADT) you folks in Toronto would see it at the same time being of course 8:00 pm. (EST) But I guess not ???

I think there will be an audience Char, somebody maybe lied to you or did not know, we will see tonight...

[Jesse Joe]

Hey Char,

If you have the Rogers Digital Box, you probably have some channels from coast to coast, ie: I have it, and I often watch Canada AM on CTV Toronto CFTO Ch:106 or 107 which is HDCTV ( High Definition)

I have,

CBC Moncton CH: 125
CBC Toronto CH: 127

And so on for every major city in Canada that has a cbc/ ctv/ etc... stations.

Try if you have CBC Moncton or CBC Halifax. If your on Satellite you should get them also but on different channels.

Just a thought!

When Im watching CTV,or CBC Toronto and a commercial comes on, I think if Gordon Lightfoot is watching in Toronto, both he and I are seeing the same thing on TV...

[charlene]

Yep - I have the digital box..Lisa does the 'time-shifting' thing sometimes..I'll get her to figure it out..
If I try it I'll end up watching a re-run of Dick Van Dyke..
lol

[Jesse Joe]

If I try it I'll end up watching a re-run of Dick Van Dyke..
lol


Calling Char, Come in please ! Im getting ready to watch "The Hour" on CBC Newsworld at 9:00 pm ADT in 32 minutes. Do you think your gonna see it as well ?

[Jesse Joe]

My CBC Newsworld is on Channel 14 and 189, maybe you can try those ?

[charlene]

Hi Charlene,

We will not be taping Gordon Lightfoot with an audience.

Sorry!

He's On!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[vlmagee]

It's on the web site too.

[charlene]

Yep - on-line and it's damn good it is cuz they are breaking away for updates about the American election stuff..good grief.!!!!!!!!

http://www.cbc.ca/thehour/video.php?id=2103

Good stuff! Check it out..

[Jesse Joe]

Right On ! Great interview, I really like the way he looked in the 70's, curly hair and all. He mentioned Atlantic Canada. St-John NB, St-Johns Nfld, and Halifax NS. But did not mention Moncton NB...

I really liked it when he said coming out of the coma in 2002 and thought he was hallucinating seeing witches, who were the nurses dressed up for Halloween.

George's favorite song "Black Day In July."

[imported_Next_Saturday]

This show was a reminder that there's still a lot of great footage of Gordon that hasn't seen the light of day for a while--like the cuts of his performances of "Race Among the Ruins" and walking about in the 70s. Either the CBC or other sources are sitting on some good stuff that's not on their website.

[Jesse Joe]

YouTube - Gordon Lightfoot

[Jesse Joe]

That "Race Among The Ruins" performance was from "Olympic Team Benefit," June of 1976. Taped at Maple Leafs Garden in Toronto, with guest: Murray McLauchlan, Sylvia Tyson, and Liona Boyd. I have tried many places to find this concert. I saw it when it ran in '76' but did not have a VCR/DVD recorder in those days. Really great concert Next Saturday, hope to be able to get it one day.

And the walking about in the 70's looked like some kind of documentary from CBC ?

Jesse Joe,

If there were a way to pass you a hug through this computer I would. The sound was a little off but this put a big smile on my face and in my heart anyway. Thank you, thank you, thank you and thank you so much. :

DSR

[Jesse Joe]

Dear DSR, glad it made you happy. You would give me a hug, some people here would strangled me if they had the chance... You can try to be liked by everyone, but it just doesn't work.

The late great Stan Rogers once said, "Canadians are like puppys, they like to be loved. I think it's about time we started growing up and showing our teeth."

[Sundown17]

Thanks so much Jesse for posting this. I listened to the segment on the cbc website, but couldn't get the video, so this was a real treat.

And as speaking as a US citizen....showing one's teeth isn't all that it's cracked up to be. Don't change a thing about your collective Canadianism.

[Mr. Moon]

Cooool! I ran across this interview on You Tube and thought, "I've got to post this on corfid", but Jesse beat me to it.

What an awesome interview! Great to hear Gord. He looks and sounds great.

Does anyone know when this was recorded? I assume fairly recently, with the mention of Gordon Ramsey and his dates at Massey at the end of the interview.

Everyone, have fun seeing Gord this week, as I know you will!!!!!

TTYL, (talk to ya later)
George

[byKimberly]

I ditto DSR's comments. What a nice interview. He looks wonderful and sounds good. Wish I was seeing him tonight, or even this year. This is nice.
Thanks,
Kimberly

[Jesse Joe]

Thanks for your kind words Sundown17, really glad you were able to view and enjoy it.

Which was taped very close to the day it aired Mr.Moon, May 06. Because Charlene said that it wasn't yet done on Saturday May 3rd...

Yes a nice interview Kimberly, and he is looking wonderful and does sound pretty good indeed...
