Re: Last night at the DECC 9/23/07
I got lucky and scored two front row tickets off of ebay. We were towards the right end of the row in the pit, but there were 5 empty seats to the right of us.....and nobody showed, if you can believe that!! Soon as the lights went down, we scooted over....just a few seats short of center stage! What a thrill to see this legend so close up!
I thought he started out a little weak, but I think he generally does that until his voice warms up. I'm amazed at the guy.....68 years old, not too long off of a life threatening medical condition, and he can still ring the bells! I was spellbound by "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" and "Sit Down Young Stranger" in particular. He did a great job with his most popular hits as well as with the lesser known songs.
I've been a Lightfoot fan since the '70's, and always plan to be one. Rick
