Some folks are hearing an old singer maybe past his prime. Me, I'm hearing experience, passion and a love for performing.
Touché! He never ever lost any of it in my mind right to the end. I am 64 and have loved him since I was 6 years old and have seen him in concert at least 20+ times at Massey hall and most recently at casino Regina in oct. 2022 and had the pleasure of meeting him (he even bear hugged me) and invited me to sit for a chat. In person he is everything you would expect, kind genuinely interested…just a very warm person that puts you at ease instantly. He did what he said he would and entertained us to the end. He was what I think of when I think Canada and still is. I will grieve forever for the loss but he never left and never will. All my love to you Gordon Lightfoot A CANADIAN ICON/LEGEND.

My dear, I completely agree with the entirely of what you wrote. My heart is still heavy with his passing and it’ll be a while before things are passable. Very melancholy feelings.
And the Soul that is there for his audience, in spite of being tired from decades, lived. Gordon, May you have had a fantastic time on your journey from your beautiful Ontario and loved ones there, to your home above.
✨🕊✨
❤
Absolutely!
On May 1st, 2023 I lost an old musical companion. Gordon passed away at 84. His music was and still is my main inspiration to/for my own guitar picking.. ❤️
The immense catalogue of songs he's written and can still remember how to sing and play them is why he's the best.
One of my favourite songs. I predict the legend of Lightfoot will only grow as the years go by.
He wasn't just our musical poet laureate - a Canadian icon - a legendary troubador and poet . . . he was FAMILY. There wasn't a home in Canada where he wouldn't have been welcome. He was ours - and we were his. He was well loved - and we will miss him forever . . .
This song brings me to tears.
Wish I had been on that audience. Love and miss you Mr Lightfoot. Thank you for the music of my life.
Lightfoot near the end...just as good as Lightfoot at the beginning. When he's gone, I will remember him until I die.
None of us know the hour and time of our passing... we might be gone before the next sun rises. I just hope they have music in Heaven... and wonderful artists like Gordon Lightfoot. Oh wait - this must be heaven right here and now!
Gordon don't care when it happens. He's going on his own terms whenever it does.
May 1st, 2023. He was 84.
@@michaelelliott3209 Oh no! What a loss! What amazing gifts he has left us, though.
This is the sweetest song. Makes me want to listen to him forever.
"Smoke rings rising 'til they disappear, in the sky above" is one of the sweetest melodic hooks ever written. I put I'll Tag Along and Shadows right up there with If You Can Read My Mind as some of the greatest ballads of all time.
Agree!!
I will love Gordon's music as long as I live.
My all-time favorite singer-songwriter! It pains me to see Gordon so frail!
What a privilege for those present. He belongs to Canada , he belongs to the world, and he belongs to me.
Well done Mr. Lightfoot, the first time that I watched you I was 14 at Massy Hall, and never missed a chance to see you, may you sing for ever in heaven. God bless you and rest your soul.
You keep on singing I'll keep on listening ...The truest music I've ever known. Thanks Gordon :)
Amen.
Such a great talent and great guy. A real positive influence in my life.
This time tomorrow, we might all be packed and gone. I believe it’s best we carry on. Smoke rings rising ‘till they disappear in the sky above .....and if you ask me,, I’ll tag along.
He did fantastic ..with being quite frail...RIP Legend.
Mr. Lightfoot will forever be a one of a kind. I will sing his songs till the day I die!
I've seen Gordon 4 times in Huntsville, Alabama and met him twice! He has been a great influence and my hero since I was a young man back in the 70's. God bless and keep you Gordon!

I was drifting off to sleep listening to this song. What a sweeeet lullaby.
Gordon Lightfoot is Beautiful.
I hear a very heartfelt song with much feeling with some insight .
A guitar played with a masters touch .
Put all together a story .
Legendary awesomeness!
True legend. Thanks for the beautiful music that continues to inspire the current generation of song writers and performers. I'm learning how to play this song just now.
What a memorable voice! Wonderful performance. Thank you for continuing to speak to us as you always have. What a talent!
🦅💙 Gordon Lightfoot , ICON ! 🎶👏🥰
so choice...... so very choice..... so very choice
Ooh I miss this man
Sing Gordon , i'll listen along !
i listen to Gordie almost everyday now and always will
Ever excellent, and poignant now that he passed away last night. Big influence on me and mine since 67.
He may have health challenges, but you gotta give him credit for doing it anyway
You are SO right! He said he would do that and he did. I have had the privilege of meeting him 6 months before his passing. He was exactly like you think he would, a beautiful, genuine person who gave me a heartfelt hug and invited me to sit and he made me a cup of tea. Genuinely interested in what we talked about. My heart is very heavy but I have that beautiful memory and all the times thru my life his voice and songs saved me. It was very hard to see him so frail but his mind was as strong as ever it was.
i wish i was mature enough to have followed the sentiment of this song, before my brother died in the military, and cancer robbed me of my my mother... All I have now is a 14 yr old faithful furry who saved my soul as much as I allegedly “saved “ him from dog shelter euthanasia.
This song and beautiful sentiment is fully pertinent to his life too. I tag along with him, and vice versa... pals to the end, which tearfully is coming soon.
Whether it’s him, or my now “packed and gone” big brother, or my supernaturally wonderful late mother... the least i can do now is walk slower and attentive with the furry. The words and the heart applies.
Love those who mean something to your life NOW... instead of sad regret when they go.
Thanks for your spellbinding legacy, RIP Mr Lightfoot... you are missed, with other ppl loved.
My favorite GL song, has been for decades. World class. Well done, Mr. Lightfoot.
Well. That was very cool. He looks good, sounds good and I'm glad these videos keep popping up, although sometime I'm going to have to get back to work. Thanks, you all for the post.
I know what Bob Dylan meant now when he said every song of GL was perfect.
Gordon you are the Canadian poet l remember from my youth.
I love this song 😢❤.
Pure Magic .
Well done Gord, may you rest well, your songs will never be forgotten.
CANADIAN DIAMOND 💎 😍
What a life. Wonderful! How much you
HAVE accomplished . You are one of a kind.
Real and heartfelt. Thanks Gord!
RIP 💔🕊
Seen him for the first time in Glasgow Scotland...seen him since here in Canada.....The Master..
What an incredible songwriter and musician 🎉RIP
The Master... Wish I had been there...
My dear departed Trina loved this
J. P. picket not only a song writer, but a good man as his idol!!! They both are my idols!!! Men of music!!!

Nicely put Sir
this bring a lump in my throat and s tear in my eye
i guess il try
Patrick Fealy baba
Oh have listened to him since 1970’s
None will ever compare...
I remember my soul used to fluctuate
Long past my body to graduate
Living and growing it traveled far
Centered on heartbeats and the healing of scars
A song for the ages...
We are witnessing probably,
the most significant musical
Canadian artist, in a sense,
the faithful keeper of the
Canadian story. Unrivaled.
IMO ...no better example
of the craft of concise
“Folk” song authorship.
Me too Tsukamaki. And I'm hearing my personal invitation, too. Mr Lightfoot, if you're still willing, I would love for you to tag along. I need a friend. Thanks for sharing all that you do, and you. Much love, Jacqiu
Beautiful song wonderful testimony awesome footage.. thanks for sharing!
I'm most impressed with the audience.
A great Canadian singer gone way too soon R I P GORDON LIGHTFOOT
my fave song....
Gords the real deal !
Think of it...just to have been there. GL is just a TREASURE.

You sweepers and cleaners with no misdemeanors should try the triangle out there.

Kind Sir// y’otta get YourSelf an iPad with matching iPhone ( keeping it clear from smudges is all you have to do) unless you have something about user friendly silicone that is. DJMD baby!i
Leonard Cohen=Isaiah.
Gotta know when to hold em and when to fold em. A great writer that really needs to stop performing
NO! You just don't get it. You need to evolve and expand.
It isn't just about his voice. Sometimes you need to appreciate what lies under. There are stories that made history. I know I could never come close to doing fraction of what he accomplished. The man was a gift to so many and will contine to be. He stuck to his roots and did not sell out his country. Canada was first and foremost. He was a proud Canadian and we are very proud of him.
Kind Sir//look out 4 1 Mr L. Cohen’s latest release “ A Ballet of Lepers” Fine Reading.MontrealPeace Out//DJMD.
What do you know about mr N. Young kind sir// did you know that our good earth moves @ 31 kilometers around your sun($) per instant. FYPage. David.
