Those of you who know me know that I'm a huge Gordon Lightfoot fan. I finally got to see him in concert Friday night in Atlantic City! I can't believe it really happened.
Set 1: Spanish Moss, Don Quixote, Minstrel of the Dawn, In My Fashion, Harmony, Never Too Close, Ghosts of Cape Horn, Rainy Day People, Sea of Tranquility, Cotton Jenny, The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, Ribbon of Darkness, Sundown, I Used to Be a Country Singer.
Set 2: Pony Man, Beautiful, Shadows, If You Could Read My Mind, Let it Ride, Clouds of Loneliness, Blackberry Wine, Baby Step Back, Canadian Railroad Trilogy, Restless, Old Dan's Records.
Encores: Early Morning Rain, Cold on the Shoulder.
Everyone went crazy when he did the Trilogy (I have to admit that's my favourite as well). His voice doesn't sound the same as it used to; it's thinner and more nasal; but that's to be expected. For hardcore Lightfoot fans this was a great show. I would've liked if he did Steel Rail Blues and Alberta Bound but I won't complain.
And I got to spend an entire night with my boyfriend in a $200 hotel room. :animwink:
