Rest in peace Gordon… What a beautiful song ❤
It's about the breakup of his first marriage
@@davidglow3 True but still beautiful and poignant
The guy on lead is killing it in the dark.
On May 1, 2023 the whole world became Canadians. His immense talents made him an international treasure and he will be missed!
Some of us have been for years, but thanks for making me emotional all over again three days later.
@@ska4me7 months for me.
So many people learn to play an instrument but only some are gifted with songwriting and storytelling abilities such as Gordon Lightfoot. Thank you for your beautiful songs. RIP
This song is one of the best of the singer/songwriter era of the early 70'S. Unbelievably great!
He was the ultimate storyteller with a voice that touched one's heart. I was very lucky to see him four times. RIP dear one.
Rest In Peace Gorden Lightfoot 70’s FM Radio Icon Your deep within all our hearts!
Thank you for this. Rip Gordon, you touched the world with your music
Your music lives on forever 💚
Just a man and his guitar...
It's one of the best songs ever written.
Wonderful tribute.
May you rest in peace 🕊 Gordon Lightfoot.
🕊~❤️~🕊
He’s got a nice tasteful little band there. No unnecessary showiness, just playing exactly what the music calls for and letting the singer be heard. I love these old Midnight Special clips.
May you rest in peace forever.
@@joesensor4508 So true! These clips are pure gold! Thank you for sharing! 💖
Beautiful song, bringing me back to another very wonderful time in my life. Sad to hear of your passing Gordon. Condolences to your family and loved ones. You are a legend.
don't forget Red Shea who was lead guitar on this masterpiece
I still love this song, after all of these decades.
This is my fave song by Gordon Lightfoot. RIP
Another legend has passed.😢
You can't Die. Everytime I see and hear you. It's like yesterday. You will always be Alive.
Rest In Peace. Thank you for the wonderful song.
My favorite Gordon song! He will be dearly missed. 😭
One of those rare songs where no matter what you’re doing you have to stop and try to absorb every note no matter how many times you’ve heard it before
God Speed Gordon! Your songs were absolute magic!🎶♥️
I absolutely love this song and so relevant to me right now ….. this is a masterpiece of music
I used to watch this show as a young teenager; this was our MTV back then :) Quality music is timeless, this song is an all-around masterpiece of lyrics, chords, composition, and that voice. Just a man, his guitar, and a microphone...and a couple of friends to round out a great performance. Thank you for sharing your gift with us Gordon, Rest In Peace after a life well lived.
1000 times better than anything the MTV era produced.
The truest Canadian treasure.
a WORLD treasure!
One of the two great Canadian Gords
Great track!! RIP....
This is a beautiful song ! Rest in peace Gordon Light Foot !
I’m so, so sad. He will be missed by millions. I was fortunate to see him many, many years ago. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Musical soul poetry.
Thank you, Burt Sugarman, and The Midnight Special. RIP, Mr. Lightfoot.
You are welcome, Burt Sugarman
Rest in Peace!!! Thank you all for the music you left us.
I saw him 9 months ago in concert, and he seemed frail. THIS video is how i will always remember him. RIP
I surprised myself when I still remembered all the lyrics.
Another travesty this man did not live to see an induction into the rock hall of fame. Please induct Randy Bachman, BTO and the Guess Who before you embarrass yourselves further. If Joni Mitchell is in and Neil Young are in, Gordon Lightfoot, Bachman and Cummings, Paul Rodgers and Bryan Adams should all be in. And I'm not even Canadian. RIP Mr. Lighfoot thank you for your contributions to music and humanity.
You are so right ,his music was so good he should be in every hall of Fame except rap
@@kathywright6853 - Definitely the Composers Hall of Fame!
The RnR Hall is a joke.
I didn’t even really listen to BTO, and I don’t care for Bryan Adams, over Young or Mitchell, yet I can recognize they’ve had enough impact on music to deserve the same recognition in greatest music of rock n roll history.
Who cares about hall of fame anymore. He’s the best.
I post a video of me singing Gordon lightfoot follow my UA-cam channel and subscribe please
Another legend gone thank you for all the great music R I P
We all will miss Gordon, an thank you for great music and memoeries you left us.
Still can't believe how good these videos look and sound. RIP Gordon.
Thanks Gordon. Masterpiece song.
One of favorites of Gordon's. RIP dear Gordon. You will be sorely missed. 🙏
"Hey - I just picked up a new album called 'Summertime Dream', ya coming over to listen to it with me?"...
The Album is worn but is still spinning on the platter. Respect
Beautiful, I was about 18 when this was released, love it now as I did then! Sleep well fella!
A live performance back the 70s without lip-synching. Fantastic.
Thank you, Sugarman family (or whoever actually runs this channel).
Thank you very much for the nice note
@@burtsugarman-pq3mp Heard your interview with Bob Lefsetz, and I thought it was fantastic! What a fascinating life! I hope somebody makes your story into a movie. Thanks again for posting this video, and for creating this incredible UA-cam channel.
It’s about time Burt Sugarmans estate made a UA-cam channel for Midnight Special. We need to see these performances straight from the source… RIP Gordon Lightfoot. Your music meant the world to me…
I really love this man's voice. The ultimate singer-songwriter to me.
❤
RIP Lightfoot! You wrote the songs of my childhood… a.m. Gold
This is one the most haunting songs ever written. RIP Gordon 🙏 and thank you for all of your beautiful songs! ❤

Beyond lovely.

Rest In Peace ❤
Thanks.
I don't use the word often, but there's no doubt, Gordon Lightfoot was a legend.
rest in peace✨🦋💙⚡️✨
Saw him play in Southern California (Laguna Beach) in 1986. He was amazing!
This is one of the most perfect songs I’ve ever heard. I grew up with Gordon and it never gets old listening to him. If this came out today it would shoot to #1 quickly.
Thank you. Big Gord from Orillia Ontario Canada. May a national and global treasure rest in peace.
A great Canadian's gone but his music stays with us forever! Salut Gordon!

The voice, the music. So powerful yet so humble. Rest in peace, Gordon Lightfoot.
Such an important part of my childhood. My father introduced me to Gordon when i was young. He passed when i was 18. That's 34 years ago now. This music I still share with him when i hear it. RIP Gordon Lightfoot
Such a gorgeous song. Rest In Peace, Sir Gordon, and thank you.
💔 😔 🙏🌈🌉✨️❤️🕊
I knew he was a brilliant songwriter, and If I Could Read Your Mind is a masterpiece, but also what a superb performer...
The world has lost a superlative talent. RIP Maestro.

A true genius. RIP
Simply ❤
Perfect voice
Perfect guitar playing
Perfect song
Thank you for the music, Gordon.
An artist whom I shall surely miss. Those of you who remember him, as well as Jim Croce, Pete Seeger, Harry Chapin Cat Stevens and many others from an era; that sadly can never be reproduced.
This song though, and its lyrics remind me of something I once had
RIP Gordon. Your music was amazing.
Masterpiece!
Was here for this show,amazing.
Nothing like sitting on the hard floor for a few hours!!
One of my all time favourite songs from a great Canadian musician. RIP Gordon.
Gene Clark, ex of The Byrds and a great songwriter himself, said this was the most beautiful song he'd ever heard. Whenever I hear it I'm inclined to agree completely.
"And I must say it means so much to me,
To be the one who's telling you,
I'm telling you,
That you're beautiful"
Just spectacular….. music at its best
My favorite troubador
Voice of an Angel
As a sailor I’m forever grateful for Edmund Fitzgerald
Aloha 🌺 RIP Gordon! Thank you for all your wonderful work! Aloha 🌺🥰
In a castle dark or a fortress strong: lovely lyrics...
One of my tear jerker , favorite songs…
🙏🤗
A Great Canadian!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
a masterpiece from a master musician. Godspeed Gord.
Gordon, you are gonna be alive in our hearts. Thank you.
An incredible song by an amazing guitarist, an amazing lyricist, an amazing voice, an amazing person whose soul went back to the ONE who created him. Hope he's singing in the Heavenlies. RIP
God bless you dear Gordon, such a wonderful song.
I just found out today oh, that Gordon Lightfoot died last Monday, and 84 years old, I used to watch him on the midnight special back in the the 70s,80s you're in heaven now with your parents😢
A million thanks for posting this video.
Our pleasure.
I listened to him as a young girl. I was decidedly Canadian in those moments. I remember all those heart-breaking lyrics and grew up to know what they meant. It's a killer, this one.
Beautiful. God speed, Gordon. Thank you. ❤
A wonderful talent. Thanks for the beautiful music.
