I don't think this is live but on video through a TV or maybe it was projected on a screen at an outdoor concert...still good though!!

[Manzanita949]

I took the video myself. It is live in concert. Just a junky camera with bad white balance!

[gareof]

don't do that - don't put a musician (especially one like Gordo) on video without a good audio - it's, i don't know, it's just bad form

[Manzanita949]

I'd say it's not bad for a small digital point and shoot camera!

[gareof]

Sorry, but I think it IS OBVIOUSLY a small digital point & shoot camera! (bad) You should record the audio from the album over the video (simple editing) - then you at least have a picture (you were there - that's cool) AND good audio (like you heard) Anyway...thanks for listening - thanks for the post too....I've been a Gordon Lightfoot fan since the early 60's

[Manzanita949]

Why would you want to do that, though? Don't you want to hear and see him as he is now, not listen to a recording from the 70s? Every fan probably has that album! I like it unadulterated. If you don't, don't watch it!

Gordon Lightfoot is one of the greatest songwriting talents of all time, he has albums full of songs as good or better than this one.

[MrSimmies]

If Bob Dylan or Joni Mitchell wrote this song we'd never hear the end of their "genius" for composing such a song.

Lightfoot has albums of songs like these

and people don't even know who he is. He is IMHO the best songwriter...period.

[Eliz4848]

I love hearing him, over the years, how he is now, and how he was. He's the same marvelous man. i've enjoyed his live concerts over the years and just want to be there live with him! He's still the same man!! we all get older!!! he's a genius.

@Manzanita949 there is a nasty buzz in around the 12Khz, and it is driving me nuts. and gordon sounds like he's in a tunnel far far away.

This song would go good with LEGEND OF ZELDA: OCARINA OF TIME. There's even a windmill in it! What are the odds!

[Jayoung1000]

Don Quixote is my favorite Gordon Lightfoot album. It's packed with haunting melodies and enchanting lyrics.

[BIGJOHNTON80]

@MrSimmies i agree mr.simmies!

[tecnolover2642]

@MrSimmies

Gordon is indeed a genius folk song writer but lets not forget John Denver! I put those two at the top of my list. There are other good ones. But no doubt Gordon should have has immensely more fame and recognition than he did. One of the best.

im glad iv still have him on vinal 33.

[HugeGene]

Very nice solo version of this amazing song. The entire album Don Quixote is a masterpiece, done at a time when both his singing and compositional skills were at a peak; he never sounded better than that period 70 to about 76. Great post, Thanks.

I highly recommend "Gord's Gold" vol's I and II

@BluGrassa I was questioning you on the nature of portention. Do you betray?
