I watched this documentary for the first time tonight and loved it! Ian Tyson and Gordon Lightfoot have been two of my all time favourites for at least 40 years and to see them together was fantastic even if their voices are not the best anymore. Both Canadian icons and both fabulous song writers. Have had the pleasure of seeing them both in concerts over the years. Thanks for uploading this!
I admire these guys even if this pretty screwed up try at Red Velvet. I had to laugh when Ian says, "oh a key change!" in surprise. The key change he's referring to is one of the most important moves in the whole song - and it is only a temporary key change as, in the original, there is a melodious transition back to the original key of D (that was part of the problem here because Gord starts off in G and Ian didn't really get that clear (or his fingers didn't!)
This is my favorite video of both Ian Tyson with Gordon Lightfoot! They are both beautiful singers and incredible composers! I hope to make this part of the list of my favorites!
2 Canadian legends in 1 room, I am humbled, so glad we still have both of them.
Thanks for sharing this.
