Wow, that was IMAZING

I think this was recorded at Ontario Place. He does mention, Exhibtion Stadium, when he says, "They will hear us all to the ball game and everywhere else"... We all miss Jimmy Ferguson.

"And in every line I've ever sung". Are you kidding me? Do you know how may lines Gord has written? He has written over 400 songs. That is a LOT OF LINES of songs. Wow.

@VaderMode1 While EAST OF MIDNIGHT is not my favorite Gord Album, you can't help but notice how COOL and SUAVE he looks in his white suit from this album in 1986. He has lost weight, is thin again, and is saying, "Yeah, I am ready and I am back." He worked with DAVID FOSTER on this album and ...

R.I.P. Red Shea and Terry Clements. You have always been incredible lead guitarists for Gord and I am quite sure he misses you both very much. When I think of late 60's and early 70's Gord, I think of Red Shea. When I think of 70's and 80's Gord, I think of Terry Clements. Long live Gordon L...

@tritonrocks Gord recorded this in 1999. It was his first actual TV Concert in 20 years. He had recorded for Soundstage in 1979, but had not done an actual Television Concert since this performance. I actually taped this on VHS and still have the tape. This is a great little cozy venue from d...

I would have love to hear Gord sing this song in the early-mid 70's when his voice was deeper and stronger. That would have been awesome. Still love this version. thanks meathead891 for this post. Bought this album a few months ago and can't stop playing it.

@TobyWonKenoby Well said. His voice has declined, but he has dealt with many health challenges and rose above. What else can you expect from a CANADIAN??? I will take Gord's voice over many artists half his age.

@tritonrocks Yes, I agree with you. I have seen him a few times in the past at Massey Hall and his voice is not what it used to be. Yes AGE is a factor, for sure but SMOKING a pack of cigarettes a day for more than 40 years will affect your ability to take in air to the lungs (aerobic capacit...

@cullinane8888 yes, you are quite right. The lyrics are beautiful.

@katelynlovesyeww Do you have a favorite scene of his?

@letsif Very Cool comment you wrote here. Yes, Bob Dylan was always a big fan of Gord. Ever since they met at the Mariposa Folk Festival in 1967. Cheers.

Oh gee, another Gordon Lightfoot song that is so sweet with its lyrics and melodies. What a surprise. NOT.

@crowleysridgegirl Yes it is truly one of the best GL songs ever recorded. I am proud to be Canadian when I hear Gord sing. Just curious, what part of the world are you from?

@bobbo422 I love your comments here. You are one smart American guy for sure. I have a great DVD of Harry Chapin who I think is a fabulous and very underrated American songwriter who very much like Jim Croce died way too young and way before their time. I also have a few Jim Croce DVD's. Ju...

@ThomasASwilling yes I read that. Its such a great song. I also read that Stevie had a child with Don Henley from the Eagles (as Joe Walsh was). Is this true do yoiu know? this is such a beautiful song. Thankyou.

Boy , if anyone can write a song about a shipwreck, it's our boy from Canada, GORD. He has written over 400 muscial masterpieces. My heart goes out to those families who lost a loved one on the COSTA CONCORDIA. We are with you in your time of loss.

I think it's pretty clear this song is about Gord's dependence on alcohol from his past. He kicked the booze and got clean in 1984. He wrote this song for the album WAITING FOR YOU (1993). "I have been down in the valley of tears..." "No one will lead me astray anymore, you are welcome to...

I grew up in the 80's as a teenager and went to many bars and clubs (and even highschool dances) where this music was important and sent a vibrant vibe. If you don't like THE CURE, that's fine, but you can't deny their musical power. I look back on them after all these years and think, WOW, the...

I get so sad when I hear this song and this music from the 80's. Primarily because music was a little more innocent back then. Maybe its because I was younger and more naive then, who knows? Either way, its such great music from this band. Check out their other stuff on YouTube, great stuff.

@bensisko16 Thankyou very much for your help. I have purchased a copy on DVD and I hope to receive it in a few weeks. You have been very kind. Looking forward to sharing more thoughts and comments about this great Canadian Music Legend very soon. Cheers, Rob.

rosharris, I can tell by these comments that many people are very happy that you posted this. It is such a great Guess Who Song. Burton's vocals are very strong and so subtle in parts that it makes you appreciate how great this song really is. "it's true the deeper the drilin goes, shows how ...

@dlhalper I know that is the Zip Code from Indianapolis, but I don't think that refers to an incident with him and his father. His father abandoned him and his mother in Winnipeg when Burton was a small boy. I think Burton wrote the song bascially on the fact that he was receiving a lot of ma...

I love the Guess Who and this is probably my favorite song from them. I love when younger people appreciate this music. When a young man or woman in their 20's say they love this song, it makes me happy. I saw Burton play HOOTERVILLE STATION in Brampton back in the early 90's and after this ...

snowybwm, real nice job on this. Burton is one of those artists that makes all of us Canadians to feel very proud that we are Canadian. I could give you a list of Canadian Artists and Bands that make us feel this way but that may take some time. If you don't care for Burton's vocals, all you...

@ColtonCernyMusic from the movie 'MELANIE' from 1982. The real great song from this movie is the one at the end titled YOU SAVED MY SOUL.

@archieives Well said. This such a simple yet UNDERRATED Guess Who Album. So many great melodies. The song: A WEDNESDAY IN YOUR GARDEN always sticks out for me on this album. Any thoughts fellow Guess Who Fans?

Correct me if I am wrong but I am pretty sure that Gord started playing Massey Hall BEFORE 1974. I thought he started playing there in the late 60's. Can anyone please provide me the details? Thankyou fellow Gord Fans!

@sheltv100 Funny you mention those highways. I just got back from Blue Mountain in Collingwood, Ontario and of course I had Gord playing in my guitar the whole time. I travelled up Highway 10 (Hurontario Street) and came back Airport Road. I have been on Highway 11 (Yonge Street) many times o...

@friedjeboeree THANKYOU for you kind words. You are obviously are warm and generous person. You have a kind heart and it seems you have brought a lot of happiness to people who have viewed your videos. I am from Canada and have seen Gord LIVE a few times at Massey Hall here in Toronto. He h...

@DonnSeib Yes, I agree with you , this Man may be the greatest songwriter that Canada has ever known. I also admire:other great Canadian Songwriters like Leonard Cohen, Jann Arden, Jim Cuddy, Burton Cummings, Neil Young, Tom Cochrane, Gord Downie, Steven Page, Kathleen Edwards, Serena Ryder, D...

@2dogsaf Hard to disagree with your comment. He has played all over North America and Europe and is loved by so many people. His songwriting ability is incredible.

The guy at 0:02:46, his name is RAVI. He is actually the Mayor of Colllingwood. Fun guy. Likes to make it out to local events.

@buzzingfly22 Oops! Sorry John McVie. I forgot you in my comments. You are as important as every other member of the Band.
