I saw Gordon in Vegas on Saturday night. I didn't keep track of the songs but looking at what's listed here, I'd say it was a combination of the two. He sounded really good! Seemed really relaxed until the end when there was a problem with his amp & he cut out a couple songs. If you get a chance to see him at The Orleans in Vegas, go. It's an 800 seat theater & the acoustics & sound are the best I've ever heard Gordon in. He's scheduled to be there in August & I'm going to try to go back for it. This is the best I've heard him in years (First Lightfoot concert in 1976).

Thanks for the info everybody! Yes, we're planning on flying in to Vegas for the shows at The Orleans on August 8th and 9th. We can't wait!!!

My husband and I were at the Vegas concerts on Mar. 21 and Mar. 22. They were terrific! I thought Gordon's voice sounded as good as it did 10 years ago. Seems that 5 months off really agrees with him - and I told him so. The Orleans theatre is really good - both in sound quality and size of auditorium. He didn't fill up the place, like he did last August, but that doesn't seem to be a big concern for any of them. We are planning to go back for the Aug. 8 and Aug. 9 concerts. See you there!
