This album caught Lightfoot halfway between the release on his "Endless Wire" album in early 1978 and "Dream Street Rose," which would be released in 1980. He played two songs from each. Otherwise, this mostly consists of his classics from previous albums.
Two of the songs have edits to them. I edited track 12, a talk track, because it contained an interview. I cut that out, since it wasn't part of the concert. But I kept a section between songs there where he introduced the members of his band. The other edited track is the last one, "Canadian Railroad Trilogy." Unfortunately, that's a long song, and the episode ended after only three minutes of it. So I found a different bootleg soundboard version from the time period, and used that to patch in the last four minutes. That's why those two tracks have "[Edit]" in their titles.
This album is 59 minutes long.

Paul, thanks a million for this Gordon Lightfoot show! Where in the world did you find the second half of Canadian Railroad Trilogy to splice in the missing 4 minutes. Your edit is seamless and can't even be detected, neither audio nor performance wise! Did you find another '79 soundboard??? That would be AMAZING news!!!! Also, do you have or want a copy of the 1973 Soundstage Lightfoot performance. I have that one and it is terrific as well! - Eric
ReplyDeleteGlad you like the edit. To be honest, it's been a while since I made that edit, and I don't remember the source. If it wasn't from 1979, it was from around there. But it was a common bootleg, not some amazing new source. As for the 1973 Soundstage, I've posted that one already.
