Thanks so much for posting the videos. It was fantastic and brought goose bumps to hear Gordon belt out that verse of Summer Side of Life. Just great. Interesting he changed the lyrics slightly to the BBC version, "He came down to save a soul on the summer side of life, they talked all night." Interesting twist. Well sung by all in the cast.

Gordon Lightfoot Sundown@40 Tribute - Toronto...

[jj]

lots of dedicated work in capturing stuff as usual char, way to go!


i know our one channel on the mic gets covered at time as your grasp and adjust your grip, but when it's full stereo that thing is very impressive

that cast should be really happy your captured the finale, and i hope they get to dial in, including Gord… it would have been nice to drop it a tone for the guy (he was clutching his heart, digging down deep!) … hey, i loved Sexsmith … he didn't need to words at all and wouldn't it have been a great frame without that stand and pages flipped over, but what a steady job you did throughout … i think this should have been right on Canada Day, pre-fireworks… then again, that finale Sunday eve already had all the young (and old) guns firing

oh yeah, Gord's heart is on the other side, lol

they can use iPads these days that clip onto mic stand, less obstructive

i wondered if the arrangement developed into something very interesting because there are so many possibilities with that mid and final section

is Jacob Moon directly related to Liz? (was she there? or Mer? etc)

Mer could have done a pretty cool version of one of the tracks

thx for capturing what you did … the young man has nice tone!

Gordon was totally on his own. I thought perhaps Jacob was a distant relative of Eliz.Lightfoot from searches online..perhaps not..
yeah - the grip on the camera sometimes has my finger on the mic and holding the flash down.. surprisingly the sound either way is quite good considering we were 2 feet from massive speakers..
If Ontario Arts Council wants they can fund Ipads for their touring artists.lol..
Tony said he got a couple of videos as well...

It was a terrific event! So glad I was able to make it. Thanks for the pic Char, although with the flash not going off I'm probably still waiting for the perfect pic with Lightfoot LOL Hats off to Tom Wilson and the gang for organizing a first-class tribute. It was a treat hearing the entire album rather than "just the hits." I have two pretty good quality videos to post once I get them uploaded.

It's a pity there's no video of the "Is There Anyone Home" cover version. I've never heard any mention of Gord performing it live or anyone else covering it. (And it's probably my favourite song from the "Sundown" album.)
