Customer Reviews of Gordon Lightfoot - Live in Reno
Respect for a Legend I've seen Gordon Lightfoot in concert, on average, once a year since 1972. I've also met him several times and even received a bit of advice from Lightfoot regarding my own career. I bought this DVD for posterity--out of "respect for a legend." The set is a stellar collection and example of the artist's best songwriting. True, Lightfoot doesn't have the voice he had 30 years ago, but he's still far more expressive than many of his peers. Lightfoot and his band still play with precision and clarity such that few bands would only hope to aspire to during a live concert. Meanwhile, their performance of "Old Dan's Records" is rousing, "Make Way for the Lady" bluesy and inspired, "Early Morning Rain" and "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" completely authentic. Some of Lightfoot's newer songs, like "I'll Prove My Love," "Waiting for You," and "A Painter Passing Through," sound almost exactly like the studio recordings. Some reviewers have commented on how Lightfoot looks "frail" and "gaunt." Well, when he enters this Reno stage to start the show and, later, returns for his encore, Lightfoot has a noticeable spring in his step and appears totally youthful! With complete confidence, he and the band "nail" "Cold On the Shoulder" to end this DVD collection--something all fans should have for "posterity."
Honest Concert
Having never seen any video footage of GL, I jumped at the chance to purchase this DVD, it had been marked down severely and was rattling around in the bargain bin of a small music store in an equally small country town!
Gord at 61 certainly looked all of his years, and from the opening songs I began to think that my bargain purchase was something less.
The voice was kind of breathless and reedy, he didnt seem to be able to hold the notes.
But... he warms to his task after two or three songs, and as Sonny Mayo correctly said in his review, he gets a spring in his step, you can watch the years drop away and that wonderful voice return in all it's glory as he recreates each masterpiece and newcomer alike.
You dont have to be a visual showman when you're Gordon Lightfoot, the magic of his words and music are reward enough.
Thoroughly recommended.
Why did we have to wait so long for the DVD
WOw this brings back some wonderful memories - I saw GL in Australia, in 1974 I think it was - this is a great DVD, the sound and clarity is great and the guitar work excellent.
The only concern I have is that I will wear it out - it is really great to watch him perform Early Morning Rain over and over again...probably one of the best songs ever written - certainly along there with the Boxer and Blowing in the Wind..
