Imagine being able to sing his song, but not only that, singing it with him standing next to you! What a miracle that would be for anyone who is his truest fan.
Damn...so proud to be a CANADIAN when I see this stuff....Gordon with another one of our under rated song geniuses...Ron Sexsmith....The glass of wine spoke volumes...Fantastic..
I'm not Canadian , but I grew up in Bellingham, Washington , not far from the Canadian border. I've travelled through every province in Canada, and yes Canada is a great nation, filled with great people. And of course, Gordon Lightfoot is one of the greatest singer-songwriters in history.
Spectacular and fun to watch performance! Really digging it, Mr. Lightfoot! Rest well and thank you for the memories that are attached to each and every tune.
Gordon Lightfoot Canadian legend. Song writer of the very highest order. A legend. I have enjoyed listening to his music from the 70's. His albums are a source of pleasure every time I listen to them.
@@ArthriticBabe Nice to meet you too. Lightfoot's music is global. I was first drawn to his music by "Cotton jenny". His masterpiece has to be "Canadian railway trilogy". Which song first attracted you?
gordon is a treasure, I saw him 2 times, I listened to this as a kid in my parents car when it was on the radio in the 70's,....it is as good today as it was then.
Is it just me or does Gordon lightfoot write songs that are the easiest songs to sing along to it's like u can't help urself but to sing along with them bless his artistic heart
Seen Gord 5 times, we can see now that he enjoys stepping back out of the spotlight to watch and listen to other great musicians having so much fun with his life's work. What a beautiful working retirement it must be watching a lifetime of hard work live on like this. Long Live Gordon Lightfoot. 😇
We were there and it was an amazing tribute to Gordon. We took our old albums and he was so gracious afterwards that he came out and autographed them. It was a beautiful, hot, windy day while sipping wine in a vineyard.
God gave gave us booze and music and prayer to help us make it through life's despairs and the grind of it all...I don't drink anymore, but I still have music and prayer. God Bless Gordon Lightfoot! The dude with the wine glass had a pretty good voice, and cocking that mic down some, brought Gordon's voice on strong there at the end!!! Great Job People 👏 👍 👌
I got to see Gordon at the Memorial Auditorium in Sacramento, CA, back in the late 80's. Amazing show. He was one of the few musicians who sounded as good live as on his records. And don't even get me started on his songwriting ... absolutely stellar ❤❤❤
One of my favorite artists. Im so glad he had people who care about him and could pull do something this magnificent not just for him but for people who are fans. Thank You
Awesome job everyone fantastic looked like a blast to be up on stage playing and singing with him and for him. Awesome been playing this over and over what gift performance
What a magical moment. What an amazing performance. I guess this is one of the last times Gordon performed the song. The power of the song is in the voices in the chorus - and here he receives them in full force. But also the four stanzas were done perfectly. you guys are great.Thanks!
I’ve found more layers in this song since I heard it than any other. I sing it when I’m sad, when I’m happy and even though rare moments of the serene.
GDday,2 you. This Song waa Awsum Classic Back in in the 70's. 👍🎵🎵🤠🎤🎸❤Really Classic,& Still is on the Radio.👍🎵📻👍. Gordon Lightfoot was Popular Back then.& Very Great.👍🤠🙂🌼🎵🎵🎵🎸🎤
Listen to his less known albums of the 70’s such as Don Quixote, Old Dan Records and Cold on The Shoulder ….masterpieces. His mastery of song and voice was unmatched.
Songwriter legend. Great Songwriters, Actors, Musicals etc are Canadian. I love you guys. . Ps I am not the singer. But I live close to Canadian Border and visited alot. ❤❤❤❤🇨🇦 🇺🇸
Spent quite a few Friday and Saturday nights dancing to this song at a local club Great cover band but I still get a little nostalgic when I hear this, my wife and a friends wife really made the nights memorable and romantic.
A true legend I hope he lives and performs for a long time. I’ve been admiring his music for years before I even knew his name which should be taught in elementary school.
OMG. This is sad. They didn’t even let him play a guitar. He can’t sing anymore. They had to sing instead. Thank you Gordon Lightfoot for the music you made. God Bless you! 👏🏻🎸
Not sure but think it was a tribute to him, it was not a gordon lightfoot concert, I heard he is going to be touring in Canada this summer. Caught his show about 5 years ago and it was great, had a great sence of humor and the music was great, sure his voice was not as strong as perhaps when he was in his prime but he was on key and still was superb, Canadian treasure.
He wasn't feeling too good that day.. it was a charity event on a hot summer day..it was said he wasn't gonna do any performing.. But he did pull out his guitar midway thru, and sang one song.

That had to be absolutely intimidating as hell! I don't think I could ever do it.
I'm from Mexico and I wish I would have known his music decades ago. God bless Gordon Lightfoot.
@@josemoreno104 No te preocupes amigo, es eterno y todo está ahí para ti ahora.
Great Song....
One of the greatest songwriters...EVER!!!
wow you got that right one of the best
I learned how to write my songs thanks to Gordon; I discovered him in 1970 when I was 10; I cover his songs often💖✝️
I Love the way that he stepped up and then stepped back,
That's grace.
Damn...so proud to be a CANADIAN when I see this stuff....Gordon with another one of our under rated song geniuses...Ron Sexsmith....The glass of wine spoke volumes...Fantastic..

I totally agree Winnipeg 🇨🇦my self
Was just thinking that. And I’m American!

Norm do you, by any chance, have relatives in Kap Ont 🙂

Indeed💖✝️
He writes catchy tunes. Easy to remember so we sing them over and over. I’m sorry he left us May 1, 2023. 😢
Me too❤❤❤
A true Canadian! Never sold his country out. He wasn't like alot of them .
Great to see Ron Sexsmith with Lightfoot ..legends
Seen Gord 5 times, we can see now that he enjoys stepping back out of the spotlight to watch and listen to other great musicians having so much fun with his life's work. What a beautiful working retirement it must be watching a lifetime of hard work live on like this. Long Live Gordon Lightfoot. 😇
What an honor for those❤
good music has no expiration date.
Thank mister Gordon Ligthfoot.
I've been humming this tune all week as a memory from childhood and now it suddenly appears in my YT feed....."they" must be listening!
The man's a legend and what a powerful songwriter he is!
Gordon was such a legend, his music created a legacy in the music industry, there will never be another Gordon Lightfoot, R.I.P Gordon 😢🙏🙏🙏🙏
We were there and it was an amazing tribute to Gordon. We took our old albums and he was so gracious afterwards that he came out and autographed them. It was a beautiful, hot, windy day while sipping wine in a vineyard.
Old gordon looks like death warmed over lol
@@ernestpassaro9663 I hope to look that good at his age, if I last that long.
Where?
@@ernestpassaro9663 You’re a class act.
@@kingofallwhites lol
The most underrated and underappreciated artists of all time.
God gave gave us booze and music and prayer to help us make it through life's despairs and the grind of it all...I don't drink anymore, but I still have music and prayer. God Bless Gordon Lightfoot! The dude with the wine glass had a pretty good voice, and cocking that mic down some, brought Gordon's voice on strong there at the end!!! Great Job People 👏 👍 👌
The dude with the wineglass was Ron sexsmith. He’s well known in the Canadian music industry and yes he has a fantastic voice.
***** Gordon for sharing the stage with these young men and women. A true legend, willing to pass the torch and I admire this.
I got to see Gordon at the Memorial Auditorium in Sacramento, CA, back in the late 80's. Amazing show. He was one of the few musicians who sounded as good live as on his records. And don't even get me started on his songwriting ... absolutely stellar ❤❤❤
One of my favorite artists. Im so glad he had people who care about him and could pull do something this magnificent not just for him but for people who are fans. Thank You
has
It's AMAZING what that man could put into a song with such few well chosen words!!
Awesome job everyone fantastic looked like a blast to be up on stage playing and singing with him and for him. Awesome been playing this over and over what gift performance
From youth to maturity..... this is the happiest that I’ve seen Mr Lightfoot singing/sharing his song. “Acts 20:35”
What a magical moment. What an amazing performance.
I guess this is one of the last times Gordon performed the song. The power of the song is in the voices in the chorus - and here he receives them in full force. But also the four stanzas were done perfectly. you guys are great.Thanks!
I saw Gordon 3 times in concert...in spokane...Truly a legend....One of the truly "great" singer songwriters.....
I saw Gordon in Spokane .. !! .. with my old man .. the day before .. in Portland .. !!
What strikes me is I'm willing to bet no one on that stage was even alive when he recorded that song. That's what music does, connects generations.
I’ve found more layers in this song since I heard it than any other. I sing it when I’m sad, when I’m happy and even though rare moments of the serene.
GDday,2 you. This Song waa Awsum Classic Back in in the 70's. 👍🎵🎵🤠🎤🎸❤Really Classic,& Still is on the Radio.👍🎵📻👍. Gordon Lightfoot was Popular Back then.& Very Great.👍🤠🙂🌼🎵🎵🎵🎸🎤
Breaks my heart to see him like this a true legend
Looking his age??
@Peter Brandtman really sorry to hear that
I love his songs. RIP Gordon
Beautiful. On every level. This mans a legend
THAT was cool! Thanks people! RIP Gordo. I'm missing you like Chris Cornell.
I love Gordon's music so much. ❤❤❤❤❤😢
RIP Gordon. Thank you for a legacy of beautiful 🇨🇦 music
One of my favorite all-time singers and song. May Gordon Lightfoot live forever.
I saw Gordon Lightfoot at The Merriweather Post Pavillion back in the 1970s. Fantastic concert by a a fantastic artist.
Listening 16 December 2020 happy birthday Gordon thanks for the music 🎶
Me too!!!!!!
Add me too- I've never heard a Gordon Lightfoot song i couldnt relate to.
This is fun to watch!
Listen to his less known albums of the 70’s such as Don Quixote, Old Dan Records and Cold on The Shoulder ….masterpieces. His mastery of song and voice was unmatched.
He was a Canadian icon my mom is 83 years old and I can remember her playing his records when I was a kid
Love this, especially today. RIP Gordon x
Love this ❤
The guy with the wine glass in hand was a classic! Looked like fun! Great job!
Ron Sexsmith
He was very happy 🙂
I enjoyed all the singing ❤
Real smooth. 60///70’s. Music. Can’t beat it. !!!!!!
Songwriter legend. Great Songwriters, Actors, Musicals etc are Canadian. I love you guys. . Ps I am not the singer. But I live close to Canadian Border and visited alot. ❤❤❤❤🇨🇦 🇺🇸

That's just beautiful folks. What a man this seldom person ❤
One of the greatest song writers of all times.
Go Gordon !!! just listened to the Guess Who tribute song to him last night in my shop off their Wheatfield Soul album........Lightfoot.....
Only one word to describe this: Awesome!
A true legend I hope he lives and performs for a long time. I’ve been admiring his music for years before I even knew his name which should be taught in elementary school.
Gordon sang and performed as much as he could in his old age until the end. We can only hope as much!
I saw Gordan Lighfoot in 1980 and was fantastic concert
Always love the awesome Gordon Lightfoot

He sings better than all the singers today combined.
OMG. This is sad. They didn’t even let him play a guitar. He can’t sing anymore. They had to sing instead.
Thank you Gordon Lightfoot for the music you made.
God Bless you!
👏🏻🎸
Not sure but think it was a tribute to him, it was not a gordon lightfoot concert,
I heard he is going to be touring in Canada this summer. Caught his show about 5 years ago and it was great, had a great sence of humor and the music was great, sure his voice was not as strong as perhaps when he was in his prime but he was on key and still was superb, Canadian treasure.
Love Gordon Lightfoot!!!
This stays on my TH-cam I've watched and listened to it. Never gets old! Fuckin Awesome!!!😝
A true Legendary Songwriter
What a legend..hope he feels better inside than he looks outside.
He wasn't feeling too good that day.. it was a charity event on a hot summer day..it was said he wasn't gonna do any performing.. But he did pull out his guitar midway thru, and sang one song.
Is that ron sexsmith with the wine? Love his songs.
Love this❤❤❤❤❤❤!!!!!!!!!!
Fabulous all well done ,rok on and lv the girl in the brown skirt 😊👍🙋♂️
How beautiful!
