    Gordon was and is my #1 hero musician/composer. 50 years of being in my world was not enough. Such a beautiful man/soul and kind. At least I got to many of his concerts….Thanks to my husband! Of course I had to marry Gordon fan…and thankfully, I still have my husband. 47 years this coming May 28, 2023. I only wish we all didnt have to lose our Gordon.😢

    Most people don’t mention it, but Gordon was a great finger picker on the acoustic guitar.

    Gordon Lightfoot died May 1, 2023 at the age of 84. His final album will be released on July 14. His last performance was on October 31, 2022 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He spent countless time autographing for people and took great care tuning his guitar. He received many well deserved standing ovations during his performance. When he talked, everyone listen intently. Canada has lost a little bit of itself said one of the fans present at that performance. I believe she is right! God bless everyone! ❤🇨🇦

      Silver wings of summer
      Lift the minstrel high
      Carry him to paradise
      where laughing angels fly
      Softly blow you northern winds
      Draw him to your breast
      High up to the mountain peaks
      where the wild eagles nest
      Lay him down in clover
      Soft as eider down
      Gentle winds make roses bloom
      where tender love is found
      Faith complete the journey
      Where love will never end
      What a tail his thought could tell
      where love will make amends
      By the winding river
      A single tear drops falls
      Somewhere in the mountains
      the lonely puma calls

    I was in the front row of this concert tour, when he played at the Jubilee Auditorium in Edmonton. The best concert of my life. He played with his band but also came out by himself to play a few songs from East of Midnight including, as I recall, "A Passing Ship" and "I'll Tag Along." Thank you for posting this. It brings back a lot of good memories.

    This is another classic Lightfoot song that tugs at the emotions of love,loss and separation.Add this to "Early morning rain", Song for a winters night","Beautifull",to that list. Dave Yell

    Delightful, simple song, and that perfectly regular guitar jingle, so catchy. It took me a lot of repetition to get that right, and now I can do it, all I need is Gordon Lightfoot's unique voice! Ah well, at least I'm trying. Gordon you are just the greatest troubadour.

    I've never seen Gordo play this guitar usually he's playing his Martin d-18 are is Gibson 12-string. I loved Gordons music for a long time.😊 But a Bible scripture came to me in the book of 1st Peter 1:24 All flesh is as grass and all the glory of man isas the flower of grass. the grass withereth and the flower falleth away but the word of the Lord endureth forever. We are all really here for a short time. May God bless each and everyone

    Lightfoot personified Canada in songs. Besides his most obvious hits, his lesser known, like Bitter Green and Pussywillows are gems.

    I sure wish we had more live Lightfoot from that era to watch. East of Midnight and Salute are gems. You just have to crank up the volume on East due to spotty engineering for volume when mixed.

    There was a great clip of Lightfoot on UA-cam with Jeanne Beker on the New Music back around this time, where he played part of I'll Tag Along (one of his best ballads, and best song off East of Midnight, IMHO). I think CBC blocked it because of some copyright infringement, which is laughable, given that the CBC generally has to pay people to watch their shows...
