[interestingfor]

Bunch of bull You tube and google really are starting to suck. The always want to control every thing.

[oklahomabmxer]

why did they censore you?

[wpaxton]

@oklahomabmxer Because youtube is about big corporations now and doesn't care about creative expression of the individuals who made it famous in the first place. They also don't believe in Fair Use and have no sense of respect or shame.

[Factnotfictionpeople]

@wpaxton Sounds a bit like the way EBay is going.....

[ActorGuy]

I saw this on MySpace. Very nice and I'm especially appreciative of your using the original 1976 version of the song rather than the remake. The slower tempo and some of the instrumental effects are absent from that newer version. Excellent.

[wpaxton]

@ActorGuy Thank you.

[drmr61]

@ActorGuy

What? There are 2 versions Gordon did? Yah know this may answer why just a day ago when listening to it on my laptop iTunes and it sounded slower and i was like WTF is going on here? Is it me? I didn't know this crucial info if it is true. Thanx.

[trublade73]

Why shouldn't a memorial be allowed here? I'd like a good reason why this video was broken.

[Anselcat1952]

fu tube

[SCOTTLMCLEOD]

All I know is this is an big insult to the families of the crew members removing all the audio in which i personally know one of the familes.

[teppie3000]

R.I.P. to the crew of Edmund Fitzgerald

[zequelll]

stupid wmg thats disrespectful >:/

[dudecat]

Typically trying to ban your shit from here is like shoveling shit against the tide. But this didlo must spend all his waking hours calling you tube to have shit removed. (talent gone lots of time on the hands huh Gordon)

[slister45]

Gord didn't have this censored. He is a much kinder and generous person. Warner Brothers did. Record companies are notorious money grubbing thiefs.

And I disagree with you about his talent being gone. I have seen him 3 times within the past 4 years and he is still awesome. He gives all his heart and soul to his performances.

[namtesyalp]

they censor stuff but let weidos with names like "jesussucks gay p-nis" and people that joke about raping kids(lacrymologyst) are left alone-liberal horseshit

[signus501]

YES MOTHER FUCKER YOUTUBE

[freedomsurrendered]

by the way, a good recording of the song, another live version on youtube, I have trouble understanding the words. thanks

[freedomsurrendered]

this is a nice video, why was is censored - I don't get it at all

[Miffymiff1]

Was it GL raising copyright issues or is it WMG or some other label cocking on ?

[wpaxton]

I don't know who it was.

[cremington10]

fuck gordon lightfoot, banning all his vids , what a dick

[WildAlaskanBlossom]

I love this song! It is soo fitting; it gives me chills...I don't think anyone else could have sung a better song (maybe that's why nobody else has ever tried). I am so for free speach! they should be ashamed of themselves for censoring this. it's on their concience. (Maybe it's because Gordon mentions God in his song..) so sad their fine with His name being taken in vain, but if it's used in honor, they are offended.

[wildbananaz]

my uncle was joseph mazes for special maintenance

[Musicmanray]

Amazing to me why they censored? Nothing graphic? Just the names and job titles of those on board. Is that some kind of secret? Its a tribute and ty.

[JDeereGP]

I'd like to body slam youtube into its grave! I agree, this song was dedicated to the guy's that lost their lives.. I guess youtube don't give a shit!

[kenjac10]

This is the only song that is nt edited i barely found it YOUTUBE are idiots they should bann the Techno ones! This is a song that was dedicated to the lives of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald. why censor this??????

[bondsee]

cos their a bunch of selfish wankers

[obxguy1]

I saw this before it was CENSORED by YT. GREAT production of a very moving story.

[wpaxton]

Thank you.

[Jadedcowboy]

Shame on YT for censoring this video!!! You really did an awesome putting this together, You gave the crew the respect they deserve, and by doing so , you also Honored them!

Thank you for the link so we could see this !

[wpaxton]

Thank you.

[Jadedcowboy]

Most Welcome!

[kromeman]

hey man that's a good video. sorry it got censored. that's so frustrating. I watched it with the sound on the link you posted though. nice job

[wpaxton]

Thank you.

[izzydye]

I do NOT understand why this was stopped. The FEW times I watched it, I was amazed. I am just an average listener and only want to enjoy your video and song and they stopped it., Taking away from me a quality in my life. I am sorry and I wish there was something I could do. RIch,selfish beaurocrats? Don't know, don't care, they stole this from my life.

[DeathbyPianos]

why did they censor this?

[wpaxton]

because of corporate copyright bullshit. why did they censor me? because I'm doing what got youtube big in the first place - making videos.

[YONICKY429]

Shame on youtube.

[3altoids]

I'm an 8th grade teacher and just tried to show this video to my class. I have used this brilliant video for the past two years to teach the history of what happened. Youtube just did a disservice to 130 kids. My district blocks myspace, so I couldn't use it.

[fudd00]

Just went to the alternate site listed. What tribute to the sailors on the EF. Kudos to the producer, you honored the crew with dignity. I can't understand why YouTube would kill your video. YouTube, if you morons paid any attention to your marketing classes, you would understand the concept of dollar votes. Well, here is my dollar voting. I will not be buying anything you advertise, and I will make it point to let the vendor know why they lost the sale. Lets see how that sets with your CEO.

[fudd00]

YouTube has the music industries dick so far down their throat that it sticks out their ass. Grow some ball you retarded bastards. Free speech made your worthless ass and it can damn sure break it.

[srvfan454]

I'm about damn tired of youtubes shit lately, with the damn ads over videos and censoring everything

[Dash171]

I was watching "Deadliest Catch" yesterday, and I had to watch this video again.....Very Haunting.

P.S. Fuck Youtube.

[emmtampa]

What would you do if you knew you were going to go down with the ship? Would get drunk as shit or just go down sober? This is a serious question to all the men that knew they were going down.

[playingwithfirehurts]

thats why i came here, it inspired me.

BTW Fuck Youtube

[tuggy75]

that was put together very well

[glammie4]

Great vid on myspace.Beautiful tribute.

[eldunno73]

Great song and great vid tribute!

[jghter]

thank you

[ProfessorIgor]

the song has an error regarding the bulkheads... all of them were battened down firm.. this mystery will live on forever.

[roaklin]

The song was written before the wreck was discovered.

[tarzan138]

when flogging molly covers this song,i will be the happiest guy in the world.

[Zippertheslipper]

I heard this song back when it came out in 1975 and it still sends shivers up my back even now, bless they who passed away on that ship, amen.

[neverneverlandearth]

if there was no Mayday, how does anyone know it sank in 7 seconds?

[roaklin]

There was another cargo ship that was following it. It took that ship's radar sevens econds to complete a circle and one moment the ship was there, radar swung around came back and she was gone.

[Mobstaz101]

they were 17 miles to safety, i thought it was 15 miles

[stevnjod]

nuatical miles,...use your head

[mdog192]

What I wanna know is how the Anderson diddnt go down to, like why did just the Fitzgerald go down?

[Woundtootight]

Not a day goes by that I don't think of my brother...

[leonsol2]

I stumbled on this video purely by chance and I would have been 18 at the time of the loss.

I remember the ballad well but had thought that this was a sinking from a much earlier time.

As a grandson of British North Sea herring fishermen this video has particular poigniance and stands as a tribute to all seamen who risk angry seas.

[LukeL007]

Even though I am convinced she bottomed out at the shoals, took on water, nose dived from a wave and never surfaced. I know we will never know the real truth and the fact that a 750 foot ship could sink without a mayday remains a huge mystery.

[bigjoeyg69]

One neat, historic and true song. It was my  7th birthday on that night when the skies of November turned gloomy!

[mdog192]

We are holding our own......... it leaves me speachless what might have been going through his head

[buddybuddyjr]

The ship sank in 7 seconds!

[codyscottmac]

One of my favorite songs ever....

Just...

Amazing....

[xojane682xo]

there are so many stories i could write having to do with the Fitzgerald. however since my time is limited, thank you. she deserves a lot of respect, as does her crew and family.

[DevynYoshi]

At aprox 7:00 PM, November 10, 1975 the Anderson asked the Fitzgerald captain Ernest M. Mcsorly, how he was makeing out with his problems, he said he was holding his own and the reply from cooper was "fine". then, around 7:30 PM the storm calms, and cooper serches the horizen for the lights of the Fitzgerald. but nothing. he called the Fitz again and again. but there was no reply.

[fallingup7]

at the time 1:50 the ship behind the fitz is the Arthur m Anderson the ship that was 10 miles behind her when she sank that night

[magyk23]

this song is really long but it is a good one
