For anyone interested, Lighthouse is tighter than ever. Their sound today is better than it has ever been. They just played Cornwall Friday night for Lift-Off festival. You've just got to check them out the very first chance you get!!!!!!!
@daryle1ca : I am in total agreement with your post since I saw & met them (3rd time since 1972). Very tight indeed and Dan is a highly passionate performer!! I got to catch up with Steve Kennedy (saxophone/flute) who plays to the top right side of Skip..I knew him from some years ago
many members of lighthouse were way more integral than given credit for......based on old stories.......skip really had difficulty sharing the spotlight, and many power struggles insued. Anyway. cheers to the late keith jollimore (sax/flute/vocals/big part of the bands arrangement), and cheers to bringing lighthouse back. They were great.
here's a little something for all you Lighthouse fans ... Lighthouse is giving a mini Ontario tour starting on March 1/08. Go to Dan's web site for tour dates and locations.
Hi Dan. Its Adam Arsenaults dad Ray in Australia. You still sound great. Thanks for everything you did for Adam. I`m so proud of him. Kep on rockin mate!!
If this was filmed at Montebello Park I was there.I knew Skip Prokop back in the mid-60s from the Toronto scene in the Village.I have a pic I took of him back then. He was playing at Boris'.Doubt if he'd remember me but thought it would be cool to show him the pic. I'm sure he would've gotten a kick out of it.Fond memories of the TO music scene in back then.
We saw Lighthouse at Fillmore East in New York in 1970. (I think they fronted the Grateful Dead.) We later saw them at The Newport Jazz Festival in 1971, the year of the riots. One morning at Newport we sat in the stands while Lighthouse was practicing. When they played "8 Miles High" they brought the morning house down. Skip Prokop took a bow but told us it was only practice. But the audience cared not. We later saw them at Carnegie Hall in 1972 from which came the Lighthouse Live album.
I would have killed to be in Carnegie Hall that night! LL is still one of my favourite albums. I did see Lighthouse a number of times around Ontario, Canada. And sadly...I got to know Bob MacBride a few years before he died. He sang One Fine Morning once for me in his living room...just him and acoustic guitar. Audience was his wife Janice and me. He had a great talent.
Thats for posting this my son and I had a chance to meet guitarist Ralph Cole and he was a real gentleman and great guy not to mention a great musician
WOW....

This was indeed at Montebello. I'd love to see that pic you're talking about, as would a lot of Lighthouse fans, I'm sure!

Cool! I unfortunately never got to see the original lineup of the band, but try to catch them these days whenever I can.
