The picture quality is VHS quality and sound is so-so. Gorden Lightfoot is fantastic -- my whole family enjoys his songs and we have seen him in concert. This DVD, however, does a poor job.
I may be able to see Gordon live, later this month. I watched it on a PBS station, twice, but not in its entirety, so it stands to reason to purchase this DVD of one of my favorite performers.
THIS IS A CLASSIC. I'm not sure of the date, but it is copyrighted 2000. Just read the other reviews. This is a mature Gordon Lightfoot & his band performing at their very, very best. Yes, I definitely recommend this one. This concert was filmed "live" at the Pioneer Center for the Performing Arts in Reno, Nevada. Thanks.
Gordon Lightfoot is the "KING" of "Great Lakes Folk Rock", and he is a North American Music Legend. This is one that will go down in history as a classic. Anyway, the songs you get here, are going to sound just like the ones you heard on the radio, through the years, and I like that for a concert like this.The line-up consists of the following:Rick Haynes - BassBarry Keane - Drums & PercussionTerry Clements - Lead Guitar (Electric)Mike Heffernan - KeyboardsGordon Lightfoot - Guitar & VocalsThe song set is as follows:1.Don Quixote2.I'll Prove My Love3.The House You Live In4.Sundown5.Carefree Highway6.Restless7.Blackbery Wine8.Medley - For Lovin' Me/Did She Mention My Name9.The Wreak of the Edmund Fitzgerald (Simply "Awesome").10.Waiting for You11.Fading Away12.Rainy Day People13.Shadows14.If You Could Read My Mine15.A Painter Passing Through16.Make Way For the Lady17.Early Morning Rain18.Baby Step Back19.Song for a Winter's Night20.Canadian Railroad Trilogy21.Old Dan's Records22.Cold On the ShoulderOverall, this is one of the best concerts of all time. I've been a fan for years. (I don't like concerts where the live versions, don't sound anything like the original, studio version, except for jam bands who improvise their music).
This is one "super", outstanding concert. NOTE: ALL THE SONGS SOUND JUST LIKE THE ORIGINAL STUDIO VERSIONS, EVEN THOUGH, THIS IS A LIVE CONCERT. It has an approximate running time of 87 minutes. This is one of those "greatest concerts of all time", and a "must-have" for any rock fan period. This concert consists of 22 songs, all written by Gordon, himself.
I thoroughly recommend it to anyone who is a fan This was the first time i have seen gordon Lightfoot "live" in concert and I was not disappointed.
You will be in for hours of delight. I recommend buying this DVD and the Gordon Lightfoot Songbook 4-CD set. Thank you Gordon Lightfoot. This live concert is pure pleasure. Both audio and visual are excellent quality.
