Thanks for posting this. Great concert when he was in his prime. Clapping ruined the first song. Not sure why people think we want to here clapping instead of the song

Fantastic right around the time I saw them

This was on a package tour they did with Fleetwood Mac, Pat Benatar, and Orleans so footage of their performances would be great to see. Love this REO one!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

As a product of the Chicago area, miss those WTTW Sound Stage & Center Stage days & XRT teaming up to do the simulcast. Could always count some great musicians in the small studio setting,

I LOVE seeing old REO concerts being posted, my all time favorite band

Totally amazing composer and singer.

Everyone comments on how hard it is for a drummer to play and sing, I'm sure it's no picknic on keyboards!

Thank goodness KC cut his hair shortly after this:)

One of my favorite 70s bands , the long hair vocal and McDonald in the keyboard amazing

Was this the tour where they played small venues and i think John Cafferty opened up?

Great show!!! Time machine! ✌️

RIP Gordon

thanks for your work on this well worth it

Thanks for all the good work.

I directed this Soundstage program at WTTW-TV Chicago Public Television

An amazing song

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! 👍🙏😎

Thank you for the effort to restore the tape and post it.

Thank you for rescuing this in such an amazing way. I have been a Lightfoot fan since 1970, so was so sad at his passing. Recordings like this keep him alive even more than his records. There is so much more to Lightfoot's songs than just the obvious tune ... the subtleties make the songs, and in such an intimate venue you can hear and see them.

The program manager should have worked the timing of this concert better. To cut off Canadian Railroad Trilogy before it ended was sacrilege in my book. That’s Gord’s Gold for sure. One of his best imho. Chords and lyrics married in blissful perfection. TY GL. RIP.

This is fantastic! I've loved his music for over 50 years. *Can you post the track list and timings?*

Thank, Thank, Thank You.... For jumping through hoops to recover this amazing concert of The Great Man. It is Gordon Lightfoot in his absolute prime. His unique baritone voice is like butter.👏👏👏👏👏👏

I really liked The Ghosts of Cape Horn. Gawd, I hate that phase shifter sound on the guitar.

You grew up in the Great Lakes I still love ya even though you hate me

I was fortunate enough to see Gordon Lightfoot twice in the late 70s, and I have never heard a live performance played with such perfection. Gordon surrounded himself with the best group of musicians I've ever heard, and I remember this more than 40 years later.

His music resurfaced for me in the Brown Bunny Soundtrack . One side Gordons work and the other John Frusciante's. It immediately reminded me of my childhood and being driven around in those huge station wagons w/ Gordon on the radio and the sun shining thru our hair.

For chrissakes given Gordy some volume on the mic sound guys 🙄

Wow, I don’t think I’ve ever seen him sing “Old Dan’s Records” before this.

An intrepid effort to bring about this vessel from the depths of time. Kudos to you!

Rest in Peace Gordon Lightfoot. Thanks for Your music.

Does anyone know what venue this performance was held in Chicago?
