  • A gem from a golden age of music. Will they ever return and replace the barbaric sounds of today?

  • Exquisite!

  • What a joy to have discovered this rare gem of a song on a live cover! Another blossom in Gord's Garden! This is a favorite. A true poet and minstral. Thank you so much for posting!

  • This has too be my favorite song the lyrics are oh so beautiful your the best Gordon

  • My main man Gord....first time I saw Gordon was 1973ish Shakespeare Theatre in CT - along the way....also there again- Maryland, NY'81, Carnegie Hall (wow!) 1975 and more recently 2010 in Myrtle Beach SC. It had been 29 years and the mystique and wonderful atmosphere he brings was still there. Of course his voice has changed - and he looks old - but the music and lyrics have not - it was as much a joy to be there as it was my first time - thank you Gord!

  • I have turned many young people on to GL starting with my own kids. Loved his music since "If you could read my mind" in 6th grade. To see this video of this song brought tears A historical treasure. What a blessing

  • This is one of my (many) favourite Gordon Lightfoot songs. They call Bob Dylan a poet, and maybe he is. Lightfoot is certainly a poet.

  • truly a master

  • @copernicus633

    That would be nice. Unfortunately, the music industry now chooses celebrity over talent. Bands and singers nowadays are treated as a product, not as musicians. I miss the 60's and 70's, and I hadn't even been born yet!

  • Like a hybrid of the original recording and the Gord's Gold version. Fantastic!

  • One of the best songs sung by the BEST song writer-musician and singer of all time. Gordan Lightfoot can sing anything from this haunting ballad to the telling of the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald. What a gift he's given us all with his amazing talent.
